Woohoo! I’m so happy because hubby bought me a new KitchenAid stand mixer! Had been eyeing for one for a long, long time but was really hesitant in getting it as I couldn’t justify the high price tag ‘cos I didn’t bake enough previously. Now with my precious, I can finally make more effort to […]
My husband taught me how to make Apple Crumble previously. It’s his specialty as it’s probably the only sweet treat he has ever mastered to make. 😆 But of course, it’s also a dessert treat that means something special to the both of us (click on the apple crumble link above to read the full […]
After making Oriental Sausage Rolls last week, I thought of using the remaining puff pastry sheets for something else. Something bacon-y and cheesy like these Bacon Cheese Rolls. Some of you probably know these as pinwheels. 😉 They resembled mini pizzas because I had brushed tomato paste onto the pastry sheets before adding the toppings. […]
I’m absolutely excited to be baking again! Making a storm in the kitchen and messing things up is always so enjoyable, haha. So what do we have in store today? Nutella Banana Muffins! Nutella is my all-time favourite brand for chocolate-hazelnut spread since I was a kid. Goes so well with sandwich bread, croissants, biscuits, […]
Fridays and Saturdays are fridge-clearing days which is never a bad thing. Since I had almost half a loaf of sandwich bread left, I decided to make bread pudding which is like one of the easiest desserts to make because all we need are some kitchen staples like butter, milk, eggs and sugar. Nothing complicated. […]
It’s extremely gratifying to bake on a Friday because it’s the day of the week when I’ll always try to clear out the fridge. I can enjoy a sweet treat while saving money ‘cos I need not spend extra to buy tea time snacks and I can reduce food waste too, lol. 😉 Anyway, this […]
Time for whole wheat baking again! I’ve been doing it a lot recently because I’ve a huge bag of whole wheat flour to use up and I really don’t want to waste it. My first time making whole wheat scones. (If you don’t have or don’t like whole wheat flour, then replace entirely with all-purpose […]
It has been a very sweet week because I’ve posted 4 sweet treat recipes in a row. I had taken a pretty long hiatus from baking as I was trying to eliminate sugars from my diet. However, since taking my current medication, I had been craving for sugary stuffs (all the time) to feed that […]
I drew inspiration from a cottage or shepherd’s pie whose only crust is made with mashed potatoes. And for a healthier alternative, I chose to use a 0% fat greek yogurt instead of cream or canned soup to make the chicken-leek mix thicker, creamier and more flavoursome. If you don’t fancy leeks, you can always […]
The husband and I decided to stay home today to clear some work before our staycation & food hopping trip next week. And I felt inspired to bake something so we could have something to munch on for tea. With a bunch of bananas and a pack of chocolate chips left in my pantry, I was able […]
I bought a slab of shark fillet from the supermarket without any idea on how to cook it. In fact, I had only eaten shark a few times and didn’t have much of a good impression of it but I couldn’t resist buying it as it looked fresh and meaty and it wasn’t expensive too. […]
It’s been a long while since I last ate corn muffins at Kenny Rogers Roasters. And I remembered how warm, fluffy and moist they were each time I took a bite into them. I came across a box of corn meal at Cold Storage one day and decided to try creating these muffins at home. […]
For my Dad’s recent birthday, I had wanted to make a durian cake for him since durian is his favourite fruit. But due to the hazy weather earlier alongside with the presence of the unwelcomed flu bug at home, I had to change the durian cake to a Tiramisu Charlotte Cake which is less ‘heaty’ compared […]
For my husband’s birthday, I decided to bake him a red velvet cake which is considered my first attempt at professional cake decorating. It is also the first patisserie-standard choice of cake I ever considered making. It is a big risk because I’m no expert in baking so anything could go wrong. Normally I only […]
Left with a couple of soon-to-expire large eggs and not wanting them to go to waste, I decided I’d do a cake this time which I’m sure my husband would fancy (he loves cakes to bits!). Just a little treat for him since he’s working from home. Inspired by the popular British dessert, Queen of […]
I took the chance to do some baking during those hazy days last week since there wasn’t much I could do with such bad air. And my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed these muffins for tea that really cheered us up. Doughnut Muffin Recipe Ingredients 140g unsalted butter, melted 120g golden caster sugar 200g plain […]
