I assume that many of you love popular Chinese snack ‘Spring Rolls’ but never tried to make them yourself. I actually don’t like store-bought Spring Rolls because they are very oily. Spring Rolls are easy to make and I bake them in the oven. They are much healthier. The filling can be anything you like. …
Next-door neighbours’ Passionfruit plants have invaded our garden and it’s time to harvest the fruit. This year we have a lot more fruit. I have made Cakes with Passionfruit Icing, Passionfruit Panna Cotta, Passionfruit Mess and Passionfruit Smoothie. Here is a new one. This curd is YUMMY! Ingredients 2 Egg Yolks1/3 cup Caster Sugar *OR …
Store bought Frozen Meatballs was a lifesaver for me when I was a struggling mother of two young children. I was alone as my husband was alway away from home, I was terribly busy, and started to suffer from depression. Preparing meals for my children was a challenge and ‘Quick & Easy’ was the key …
This is a salad that I can’t stop eating. The soft and sweet and juicy Cabbage is the essential ingredient. Use inner parts of sweet Cabbage in season. Hard and bitter Cabbage is not suitable. I always make a large volume of it, because this salad is very tasty next day, only if I have …
Don’t judge it by its colour. This soup is absolutely delicious! I first made this soup by adding some green vegetables to ‘My Mother’s Potato Soup’ to make it more nutritious. You should add as many different green vegetables as you have. I love to add Broad Beans that makes a huge difference. The more …
It seems many people were surprised to see my ‘Miso & Mozzarella Baked Tofu’ as they never thought of mixing Miso and Mozzarella. My husband prefers Eggplant version to Tofu version. I cooked Eggplant in the same way, but it didn’t work. To make the Eggplant meltingly soft, you need to lower the oven temperature …
‘Nanban-zuke’ is a Japanese dish of marinated fried fish. I usually use fish called ‘Aji’ but other meaty fish are also suitable. Chicken Breast is a popular alternative.

On the other day, I received an email from a person who lives in North Carolina, US. She was asking me if I knew how to make ancient Japan’s cheese called ‘So’. I didn’t know it. I have never seen it in my life, but I have read about it many years ago. Nobody knows …
My ‘Tiramisu Cake’ is almost same as my ‘Super Easy Tiramisu’. I use ‘Basic Sponge Cake’ instead of Savoiardi (Sponge Fingers). However, the ordinary Tiramisu filling is too soft and runny for this cake. I add Gelatine to make the texture of filling like mousse, so that you can assemble the cake just like using …
When you crave a piece of Carrot Cake, you can make this Carrot Cake in a coffee cup in less than 5 minutes, only if you have a Carrot and, most importantly, a microwave. The hardest part is grating a Carrot, I suppose. No Egg is needed, but you can use Egg instead of Milk. …
Miso and Mozzarella are a good match. Have you tried my ‘Bocconcini & Cherry Tomatoes With Basil Miso Sauce’? It is absolutely delicious. This is another collaboration of Miso and Mozzarella. If you doubt, you have to try it. You can replace Tofu with Eggplant. Makes 4 Servings Ingredients 450 to 500g Firm Tofu *I …
This tart is made with almost same ingredients as ‘Ricotta & Jam Tart’ and can be made into one large tart like it. Today I made small tarts using a standard size muffin pan. Raisins (OR Sultanas) don’t need to be steeped in Rum, especially for children. Makes 12 small tarts Ingredients Basic Shortcrust Pastry125g …
