Sunday. The day when anything is possible. At least to me it is. Lina bought me a ravioli cutter from Perth which gave me the idea of making fresh pasta from scratch. However, I didn’t have any filling I could make to fill the raviolis so I decided that fettucini it’ll be. Inspired by Pastor…

Totally Rawking Durian Cheesecake
This is not my first attempt at baking a cheesecake, in fact I’ve done it so many times, it’s quite a walk in the park for me. IF there’s one thing you should know when baking a cheesecake, is to not OVER bake it. As long as the filling ain’t jiggly, it’s done! If you…
Pecan, Walnut and Almond Cookies
Earlier I baked these “not-for-those-who-have-nut-allergy” cookies. It has 2 whole cups of chopped pecans, walnuts and almonds. Something in the nuts gave the cookies a slight spicy flavour. I also added rind from one orange to give it a lil bit of a citrus tang. This is a semi chewy cookie so, here’s the recipe:…
Make your own vanilla extract
Did you know that vanilla essence is merely a chemically produced flavouring agent? Which is what got me to start using vanilla extract in all my baking adventures. But, buying it off the shelf costs a bomb, and after Googling for some simple make-it-yourself-at-home methods, I decided to make my own! You can make you…
Pineapple Cinnamon Crumble Rolls
I had some leftover pineapple jam from CNY hidden away in the freezer, and some leftover unbaked quiche crust from the Cheating Spinach Quiche I made last month. My brain went *tick tick tick* and I decided to turn them into Pineapple Cinnamon Crumble Rolls. I refered to (and modified the method a lil) Pioneer…
Schwartie’s Cotton Cheesecake
3rd time lucky, it seems. My first and second attempt of this delicate cheesecake were a complete failure. At the 3rd attempt, I reduced the oven temperature, turned off the fan, and increased the level of water bath the cake was being steam-baked in. Result? Purrr-fect. Here’s my version of Shwartie’s recipe. -A- 250gm Cream…
Cheating Spinach & Onion Quiche

What the Flour?
Li Ann, this is for you. Wait, this is for all of you who’s always wondered what’s the deal with the @!#$%^&* types of flours out there. I won’t name all of them here but I’ll identify the common ones that you’d use for baking cookies, cakes, pastries and bread. For cakes you’d use what…
Orange Chiffon Cake
For the first time in my many years of baking experience, I must admit I’ve never attempted a chiffon cake until last night (thanks Chris for the recipe, I tweaked it a lil’). It turned out OK for a first time. I was afraid of deflating my egg whites so some parts weren’t well combined….
Steamed moist chocolate muffin
You don’t need an oven or a cake mixer to do this, which is why this is one of my favourite weeknight stress-buster recipes! Just melting, whisking and stirring, that’s all you really need to do! Perfect after a crazy day at work AND/OR if you just want to work that elbow. Originally, I found…
