Let me be frank here. There’s a reason why I’ve blown up a dress size, lost my waist and developed a more, well, rotund belly in these past years. I. Love. Meat pies. Just thinking of a m...
So Chinese New Year took a backseat and passed by without much fanfare and Australia Day was just another day of the week. But I’m not complaining. I just came off the most painful, emotional a...
Ok so I might be just little obsessed with frangipane desserts at the moment. But that’s just part of my personality. Whenever I discover something new or in this case, get a massive craving fo...
Forget fancy, this dessert is just pure comfort, like a shoulder to cry on when a foul mood takes over. Plus it makes for killer food porn, what’s not to love? But the main reason why I adore c...
Confession. I’ve made this tart 4 times in the last 10 days. I love it that much. You see, while I knew exactly what I wanted to cook for Christmas dinner, I came up blank when I was planning d...
Whoa mama it has been a heck of a month! The highlight was when my car ended my year with a bang and sent me home on a tow truck four days before Christmas (fun times peeps, I highly recommend it). T...
I just cant wrap my head around the fact that Christmas is on Sunday already. You can probably blame it on the whirlwind trip to Malaysia that threw me out of wack and the fact that I barely slept in...
I love this fudge, I truly do. This has been my go-to recipe for years and years ever since I found it in one of mother’s old magazines and I don’t know how I ever lived without it before...
Three cheers for Fridays because this means holidays have officially started woohoo! By the time you read this, I would have just arrived in my hometown of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and hopefully I surv...
Folks, count them, there are only 11 merry days left until Christmas (or shitty days if that’s the side of the fence you’re sitting on). I’ve already shown you the lucky bird that w...
Before I start proceedings, may I do some shameless self promotion? I know I’ve been doing a lot of pimping this past month (I’m actually starting to feel cheap lol) but I promise no more...
Winter is gone but definitely not forgotten, even with summer peeking around the corner. Especially since Sydney springtime can be notorious for its fickle weather and topsy turvy temperatures. Where...
Family, friends, beloved readers and faithful lurkers, I’m totally excited to announce that I am a finalist for the Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards 2011 for Best Photography Blog! It’s ...
Ok I confess. I’ve been totally whoring myself on carbs lately like nobody’s business. If it ain’t rice or noodles, it’s pasta that I’ve been frequently dumping my face ...
For me, there’s nothing worse than having to take food photos before the light dies at 4:30, which is why daylight savings is my best friend. The problem is I haven’t adjusted to it yet a...
It’s been a week but I’m still feeling the slight effects of birthday gluttony. In a nutshell I had an amazing lunch at Universal in which that epic ‘Gaytime Goes Nuts’ desser...
Now I know I don’t normally kick up a fuss about this sort of thing but I wanted to take a moment to say… Happy birthday Citrus and Candy! It’s been a heck of a ride and I can’...
We’re in the last quarter already?! This year is just flying by at such warp speed that it’s knocking my pants off. But at least it’s spring! So even though I’m sneezing like ...
I love this transitional period between winter and spring. The past few weeks have been a joy; sun kissed days, gentle day breezes and the air around my yard now permeated with a subtle scent of gera...
I can’t think of a more appropriate photo for this week’s Black and White Wednesday. Personally I can’t wait for the day to end so I can celebrate Friday hump day with a drink. Or t...
The decision was simple. Major banana cravings then came the hankerings for dulce de leche, chocolate and cream. Oh why hello chocolate banoffee tart! It looks pretty innocent now but you should̵...
You just can’t have an English pub menu without Cottage Pie (or Shepherds Pie if using lamb mince). For me in particular, I could never go through a winter season without indulging in this clas...
Happy hump day! Which means it’s time for Black and White Wednesday, a weekly photo event that celebrates all that is moody, dark and monochrome in the culinary world. After 18 years, one of my...
[I like it pink...] Joke what you will about English food (I’m looking at you, my Gallic friends), when it’s done well, it’s a thing of beauty. Such as the classic roast beef, to me...
Sometimes I feel for the humble carrot, the perennial bridesmaid of the vegetable world, never the centre of attention and always the backup singer or the support act. Don’t get me wrong, its p...
My immune system has officially failed this year. It use to be a hard bitch of steel against nasty germs and infections but now it seems to be losing its edge. When I was young, my sick-girl diet usu...
Ok so I may not be the biggest cookie girl in the world but I do have a soft spot for certain kinds. In particular, cornflake cookies with a whole lot of chewy plump raisins (hai Suze!). And of cours...
Have craving. Need pie. At this point, the thought of spending a boring Saturday baking didn’t sound so bonkers. But about three odd hours later, I was thinking screw this pie, I need a beer an...
The last month or so has just been a blur of sore gullets, coughing fits and awesome sleep-inducing drugs. I don’t get sick that often but when I do, it’s an endless barrage of whinges an...
One bowl. Fast. When it comes to cakes, these words are music to my ears! I don’t know about you but a chocolate cake craving is one of the worst to endure. And the last thing I want to do is t...
