Financiers A frequent comment from people who meet my family for the first time will inevitably be about how much we like to talk about money. I guess it’s a natural consequence when almost everyone in the family works for a bank or some sort of financial services company. A typical dinner conversation will without [...]

Posted in Cook, tagged korean beef stew on August 31, 2009 | 12 Comments »
Of all the stews I make, this is my husband’s ABSOLUTE FAVORITE. I love it too because it is so easy to make. You fry of some beef ribs, pour over the rest of the ingredients. Forget about it for around two hours while you do the house chores or read a book. Come back [...]

SINCE when does DO NOT TOUCH mean YES, GO AHEAD, EAT IT ALL!?!? Well, apparently, if it is 1:00 am in the morning and you come home craving for something sweet! This is exactly what happened this evening (or early morning). My worst worst nightmare. Last night I rushed home to bake this month’s Daring [...]

Being a cupcake is tough. There are so many cupcakes out there – it is so hard to make a difference. So when I heard that Kath from a cupcake or two was hosting a competition to win a cupcake courier it with great consideration that I provided my entry. Basically, the best cupcake recipe [...]
Spring on a plate! (Vegetable Gateau of Julia Child)
Posted in Cook, El Comedor, tagged Gateau of Crepes, Julia Child, Picnic Food, Spring, Vegetable Gateau on August 23, 2009 | 14 Comments »
The weather here in Sydney is finally turning! With warmer weather just around the corner, it’s great to be able to prepare dishes that sing of spring. For me, that usually means lighter meals, and more vegetables. This dish embodies spring time – it can be eaten cold, as part of a salad and is [...]
Chicken Liver Parfait
Posted in Cook, Uncategorized, tagged chicken liver parfait, pate on August 22, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I’ve always considered Chicken Liver Parfait as “cheap chic” – it seems very luxurious but not very expensive to make. Adding cream results in a also mousse like texture. It’s heaven if you’ve got some warmed up slices of baguettes and cornichons! I’ve adapted this recipe from Australian Gourmet Traveller’s book called Fare Exchange. The [...]

El Comedor Recipe : Brittle Torte
Posted in Bake, El Comedor, tagged Angel Food Cake, Brittle Torte, El Comedor on August 17, 2009 | 8 Comments »
Brittle Torte was my favourite dessert at El Comedor. To me it seemed like such a decadent looking cake and it stood so tall and proud with the brittle (I think they call it hokey pokey here) sticking out. I have always been a little intimidated to make this recipe but I finally decided to [...]

Ever since I can remember, Mama (my grandmother), showed us her love through her food. Every Sunday all her seven children, their spouses and us grandchildren would go to her house for our “Sunday Lunch”. Good food was what kept our family together. On many occasions the food was prepared by El Comedor, our Spanish [...]
