Homemade croissants take time. Two days or three days? It definitely takes more than one day to make a decent homemade croissant. I found that there wasn't too much difference between a 2 or 3 day croissant, but it made planning ahead easier. For the 2 day croissant, I make, laminate and shape the dough … Continue reading Classic crispy homemade croissant
You have not lived until you've tried salted caramel ice cream! I remember many years ago when I tried my first salted caramel dessert. It absolutely blew my mind. I had no idea that a combination of salt and sweet could taste so good. Since then salted caramel has been one of my absolute favourite … Continue reading Gooey salted caramel ice cream
My favourite strawberry ice cream had real strawberry pieces in them, seeds and all. I bought an ice cream maker recently - a Cuisinart with compressor (because who has that much space in the freezer for a bowl??). Since then, I have been experimenting with at least one flavour a week. I quickly realised that … Continue reading Angie’s Strawberry Ice Cream
Seven years ago, I made this nutty orange carrot cake. It was my seventh post on this website and until then, carrot cakes were a very rare feature of my diet. However, I have been making them more often nowadays as I found out it is my daughter’s favourite cake (for now). She likes carrot … Continue reading Nutty orange carrot cake (370 calories per serve)

She loves being able to hold it in her hand as she diligently bites around the core (in a very systematic way too!). We had some leftover apples and they were getting a bit too ripe for her to … Continue reading Addictive Apple Pie
My friend had been craving baked sago pudding, something that is generally easy to find at yum cha restaurants. However, the yum cha restaurant we went to didn't have baked sago pudding on their menu - shock horror! So I decided I'll make one for her when she came to visit. I wasn't sure which … Continue reading Baked sago pudding
One of my Mom's favourite sweets is baklava fingers. She refers to it as "that Turkish sweet" (hopefully I haven't offended the Greeks reading this). I like my baklavas to be slightly crispy on the outside as opposed to being soggy and drenched in syrup. Unfortunately, the ones we buy at the shops are often … Continue reading Baklava fingers
The first time I made creme caramel was when I was about 11 or 12 years old. My French teacher decided to invite us all to her house for the day for a French cooking lesson. We made creme caramel. It was amazing and surprisingly simple. For such an elegant dish, it really did not take … Continue reading Classic creme caramel (306 calories per serve)
