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 [...]

Is it persistence or stubbornness? Maybe both? When I have an idea in my head, I’ll do whatever it takes to get it (all within legal means of course!) and I never back down from a dare. Ever. Every now and again these two traits can get me into trouble. Like the time I confidently [...]

“I made it! Did you hear me? I made it!!!” I shouted out loud. My husband, who was in the study, came down to see what the commotion was about. “I made it! I climbed the croquembouche mountain.” I declared. “The croquem-what?” He asked. “The croquembouche mountain! I finished did my Daring Baker’s challenge. I [...]

I must have been very ambitious as a child. I remember one of my goals in life was to have a doll named after me. One day, I would own my very own factory producing Trissa Dolls. They would look exactly like me but in order to increase sales, I would sell Trissa Doll dresses [...]

There are many great quotes referring to the delicious cannoli. The two below are my favourites. “Leave the gun, take the cannoli”… Clemenza from The Godfather. “I’ve never had cannoli before. But if they are supposed to taste this good, I should have had them much sooner.” – My husband’s exact words when he tried [...]

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.

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 [...]
Daring Cooks’ Challenge – Indian Dosas

There are certain cuisines that intimidate me – Indian is definitely one of them. I am a big fan of Indian food but have always been terrified every time I read through a recipe because of the number of ingredients and seemingly endless procedures needed to complete a dish. This month’s Daring Cooks’ Challenge really [...]

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 [...]
Change your life! – Paella Negra
Posted in Cook, Dare on August 14, 2009 | 20 Comments »
There are decisions in life that we all make and we know that they can change our lives forever. For me, one of them was deciding to move with my husband to Australia and leave the comforts of Manila behind. Other decisions, you think are inconsequential but when you look back, you realize that choosing [...]
