Introducing: The Lemon Lime Macaron. My contribution to the Daring Bakers’ October Challenge… macarons. I think this was one of the most widely anticipated challenges. I had a lot of fun trying to come up with my own version. I also made a Chocolate Mousse Macaron Cake for my husband’s birthday and that can be [...]

What do you get someone who doesn’t want anything for his birthday? For those who have been following my posts (YES! I do have some regular readers – that is, Mom, Dad, husband, and occasionally one sister when I force her to), you will recall the nightmare I had with my two labradors of which [...]

I recently read that there is a new and harder citizenship test that needs to be taken before becoming eligible to be an Australian citizen. It is comprised of a series of 20 multiple choice questions and applicants will have 45 minutes to complete the test. Browsing through the internet, I am ashamed to say [...]

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged halloween, pasta, pumpkin, tortelli di zucca on October 20, 2009 | 22 Comments »
A food post in October/Halloween is not complete without at least one pumpkin recipe correct? So here’s my favourite pumpkin recipe. When I learned to make fresh pasta a few years ago, the first “filled” pasta we learned to make was the Tortelli di Zucca. I still remember the lady who taught me to make [...]

Filipinos are funny about their secrets. They are also notorious gossips. So some things they divulge in a blink of the eye while other secrets they keep to their graves. Ask a Filipino to tell you about their family history and you might hear him talk about of how an aunt of the family got [...]
Butter Chicken: A Taste of India

Ajoy Joshi is a passionate man. He is the owner and chef of Nilgiri’s Restaurant in Sydney. If there was anyone you’d want to learn Indian Cooking from – this is the man. A few months ago I developed a serious addiction to Indian food. Being a creature of habit, every other day I would [...]
La Dolce Vita: Bocconcini con Pomodori Dolci
Posted in Cook, tagged bocconcini, Buon Ricordo, candied tomatoes on October 12, 2009 | 8 Comments »
I love this salad. It’s a twist on the classic Insalata Caprese which is made up of tomatoes, mozzarella and basil – but instead of ripe plum tomatoes, I’ve candied them by marinating them in olive oil and icing sugar. The resulting tomato tasted somewhat like a cross between a tomato and a watermelon! A [...]

Here is the recipe for the world’s most expensive chocolate mousse. Believe me, I tried to keep the costs down with the GFC and all but unfortunately, the bill for this mousse topped 800 dollars! I set out to make a triple layer chocolate mousse which was made up of a layer of dark chocolate [...]
Scampi Salad and the Demise of Gourmet Magazine

I remember when my driving license was still a shot in the dark (this was probably after the second fail), I would day dream about the places I would go, and people I would see when I’d one day get my license. Each week, no fail, I’d ask my driving instructor two questions: 1. What [...]
