Watermelon and Strawberry Slushie
With the temperatures soaring (100°F/40°C, no less!) what I really need these days is something light and refeshing. I chopped up some watermelon and pulled out some strawberries from the freezer and this was ready in no time. The only thing that takes a wee bit of time is deseeding the watermelon. I loved the […]
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Delightful chocolate chip cookies - crisp around the edges and soft and chewy in the middle.
Garlicky Baked Fries
GARLIC FRIES I’m never going to make garlic potato fries any other way. These garlic fries, win hands down as the best garlic french fries I’ve ever made. Plus they are baked – so I won’t feel too guilty if I make it every time I’m craving for some potato comfort. When I read that there […]
Apple Crumb Cake
It has been a year of chasing aunts, cousins and their friends to get this book to reach me. Sometimes people had excess baggage and sometimes phones calls just didn’t go through. So on my trip to the States, I finally got my hands on it! I finally have my own copy of Dorie Greenspan’s […]
Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels
It’s always a good thing to like baking – when you crave something you know you can whip it up to satiate yourself. There might just be that tiny bit of lag time, though, but it’s all worth it! The other day when I craved for some soft pretzels coated with cinnamon sugar, I went […]
I *heart* NYC – New York City Food Tour
During my trip to the United States in the past month, I was most looking forward to visiting NYC – a foodie’s haven. Since I was going to be there only for a couple of days, I did all my research and put together a list of things that I needed to accomplish. Sure, I […]
Frozen Strawberry Yoghurt
I’ve been going ga-ga over strawberries this season. I went through so many packs of them, I can’t even remember. And just so that I don’t miss them when they’re not in season when I return from the States, I froze 2 kilos of them before leaving. Yes, I am that obsessed! So when I […]
Chocolate Valentino Cake
This is probably the first time I’ve kept up with baking my challenge. (you’re probably looking up at the date and thinking, yea right! but read on!). I love the rush that comes with baking last minute. But this time I was going to be in Atlanta for my cousin’s wedding, so I baked the […]
Flourless Chocolate Cake
I made my flourless chocolate cake well in time for this month’s Daring Bakers challenge. A full post in a couple of hours, hopefully. Gotta rush for a wedding! Updated: Full post!
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. Although you could make them any shape you like, now seems like the perfect time for sweetheart cookies and […]
Asparagus, Mint and Mushroom Frittata
I’m not so much of a breakfast person. But once in a while, especially on a weekend I like to go slow and prepare myself something more elaborate and hearty. Over the past weekend as I browsed through the River Café Cookbook (which I got at 80% discount at a local sale! :D), I came […]
Nutella Pinwheel Cookies
A spoonful of nutella makes the medicine go down! I earnestly believe Nutella can bring world peace. Who wouldn’t be transported to a completely different world with something as little as a spoonful of Nutella? Today is World Nutella Day and I only need an excuse to use up some more Nutella instead of devouring […]
