What a year 2010 was! As I reflect on the year that’s just past, I can’t help but feel grateful (despite many, many stressful moments) to be where I am at this point in my life. My top five unforgettable moments this year: 1. Hong Kong in February for a girls only weekend. It was [...]

Coming from the Philippines where adorning homes with Christmas decorations has become a national pastime that begins in September, my first impression was that Australians weren’t very keen on Christmas. I couldn’t get used to Santa in a body suit, trading turtlenecks for singlets, or a “white Christmas” referring to spending time in Bondi beach. [...]

If you regularly read my blog (and if you don’t: why not?!?!), you might know that this year I started teaching macaron making at The Essential Ingredient.

When I was a kid I wanted to be a gymnast. I remember watching a movie on Romanian Nadia Comaneci and how she scored a perfect 10 on the uneven bars in the 1976 Olympics and thought to myself that I was born to be a gymnast. So my best friend and I started teaching [...]

On my last trip to New York I stumbled upon a book called Cakes and Loaves by Ilona Chovancova. It’s been seven months since I managed to use a recipe from it! I remembered the other day that the book had a basic savoury cake recipe that I wanted to share for The Cooking Basics [...]

I realized that I have been blogging for a year and a half now. Wow. That’s lasted longer than most relationships nowadays – I feel like you should know me really well by now, after all, I’ve always considered my life to be an open book blog. But do you really? I guess, there comes [...]

The first time I ate at Etch restaurant - we had some good friends visiting from Perth and we wanted to go somewhere memorable for our last lunch. Etch did not disappoint. It’s been years since that first lunch but when a restaurant leaves an impression on you, you remember what you ate [...]

May you never steal, lie, or cheat, but if you must steal, then steal away my sorrows, and if you must lie, lie with me all the nights of my life, and if you must cheat, then please cheat death because I couldn’t live a day without you. Cheers! The Irish… surely know their toasts… [...]
