A wise woman once said: “Find something you’re passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it.” I find it inspiring that these words were attributed to someone who learned to cook at the age of 37 and yet managed to change the face of cooking, Julia Child. My passion of course, is food and I’ve [...]

My Favourite Pasta Dish – Buon Ricordo’s Truffled Egg Pasta
Posted in Cook, Eat, tagged armando percuoco, Buon Ricordo, fettuccine, truffled egg pasta on August 29, 2010 | 53 Comments »
Let me start of by saying that this pasta dish is not for the faint hearted. Seriously. It has been said that if you do any research on coronary heart disease, you will find that the leading cause will be Armando Percuoco’s fettuccine al tartufovo (truffled egg pasta). Yes, okay, I know I exaggerate [...]
Flavours of The Philippines Food Festival
Posted in Events, tagged philippine cuisine, Philippine Food on August 25, 2010 | 25 Comments »
When people ask me about what I miss most about the Philippines – there is no doubt that the answer will always be “the food”. My mouth waters when I remember the Lechon Kawali (Crunch Pork with Shrimp Sauce), or Kare Kare (Oxtail Stew with Annato Peanut Sauce). I reminisce over my Mom’s Beef Tenderloin [...]

Who said Filipino food is unhealthy? If you haven’t already, hop on over to Tangled Noodle‘s site to read her essay on Filipino food. I couldn’t have written it better myself. In her post one of the things that Tracey mentions is that many people have a misconception that Filipino food is unhealthy. Yes, we [...]
Almond Croissants – When life gives you leftovers….
Posted in Bake, tagged almond croissant, croissant, french pastry, thermomix on August 18, 2010 | 49 Comments »
With my Mom (the Blog Monster) around, many leftovers have come back to life. Just the other day I was complaining that I didn’t have any space for the chicken stock I had made (as I’ve said before, fridge space is the most coveted real estate in my house) and so I ransacked the freezer [...]

In the realm of shameless – this possibly sits in the top 10 for me. This is not a story of how my husband proposed marriage . But this is a story of how I faked a proposal to get into one of Neil Perry’s restaurants. A few weeks after his famed Spice Temple opened [...]

Since my parents are in town, the highlights have been the nightly chats about “what to eat for dinner” with my Mom, aka the Blog Monster. We’ll go over my cookbooks and magazines and make a list of things we want to try out. The frequency and speed at which we change our minds, and [...]
Zucchini and Orange Marmalade Tea Cake with Pine Nuts
Posted in Thermomix, Uncategorized, tagged tartine, thermomix, zucchini, zucchini bread on August 7, 2010 | 34 Comments »
I’ll admit, I am a creature of habit. I can go for weeks having the same chicken schnitzel wrap for lunch (to a point where I am walking towards the sandwich shop and they will start preparing the wrap for me). Probably, my most un-blogger like behaviour is my ability to go to the same [...]
Lychee Sorbet on the Thermomix…

Thermomix I saw it… I wanted it… TANTRUM I got it… Now… I know it sounds bratty… and it sounds like I had a major tantrum to get my latest (and promise, my very very last) kitchen appliance/luxury but, friends, when you want something, you gotta pull out all the stops for it… and this [...]

This week I’m tickled pink to tell you – I’m Guest Blogging on Asha’s fab blog – Fork Spoon Knife. To me, in the blogging cosmos, to be asked to do a guest post is one of the biggest forms of flattery – imagine, being asked to write a post on what these bloggers consider [...]
