Valentine Linzer Cookies

Happy Valentine’s Day! I have some Austrian Linzer Cookies for you today. These cookies are nothing short of grand – a sweet and tangy lime and strawberry preserve sandwiched between almond rich, crumbly and buttery cookies.

Banana Cupcakes with Double Chocolate Chips

I wish all my readers a happy, healthy and delicious 2009. May your taste buds be tickled pink with scrumptious decadence during the year! Oh and do you know what Santa got me? A KitchenAid! I’m now a proud owner of the Classic Stand Mixer, thanks to my uncle who carted the 15-odd kilogram thing […]
