I was a little disappointed with these ‘Earl Grey Tea Scones’. I expected the Scone would smell amazing, but the fragrance of Earl Grey Tea was not strong. It was subtle, but still beautiful. I wondered what flavour of Icing would be good for these Scones. I chose Orange. I used 100% natural juice squeezed …
Have you bought ‘Aonori’ (Dried Green Laver Flakes) to make ‘Okonomiyaki’ and have some leftover? You can add it to Tempura batter. Tempura made with the batter with a flavour of sea is called ‘Isobe-age’. Most commonly ‘Aonori’ is added to the batter. Finely crumbled Nori, Hijiki, Wakame, or other Seaweed can be used. Today …
The other day my daughter asked me if I had a recipe for ‘No-Egg Tiramisu’. I though the cream can be made without Eggs, but how could I make Sponge Fingers without Eggs? That’s the beginning of my challenge to create ‘No-Egg Sponge’ recipe. I got a hint from ‘Theo’s Sponge’, that is made with …
My ‘Seafood Cocktail Sauce’ can be used as a salad dressing. It goes well with many Seafood, but my favourite is Prawns. Today I cooked Prawns and Cauliflower, and just drizzled with the Seafood Cocktail Sauce. The hardest part of this dish is getting the sauce ingredients. If you use already cooked Prawns, this dish …
Coffee & Milk jelly dessert with two jellies set in two layers is popular. Today I wanted to make the same dessert in a different way. This dessert looks like Coffee Jelly floating in Milk, but Milk part is also Jelly. You can make this dessert in the other way, having Milk Jelly floating in …
My husband’s great auntie Betty’s Belgian Shortcake was absolutely delicious. I made the same shortcake with different filling today. I used Stewed Apples and Lemon Curd. Why? Because I had Stewed Apples that was getting old and I needed to use it up. This happens frequently since my family’s fruit consumption dropped after my daughter …

To save blackening Banana, I often freeze it after mashed it. Frozen mashed Banana is very easy to use as it thaws very quickly. Today I made these cookies, that are very similar to my ‘No Sugar Muesli Bars’. But I didn’t add Egg, because I made them for a family member who is Vegan. …
I have a fond memory attached to this soup as one of my sisters frequently made this soup for our family members. She always used Beef Mince, which sometimes caused me coughing because the tiny pieces of Beef went to wrong way. I prefer using thinly sliced Beef. I wonder if my sister is still …
There is a baked pastry called ‘Escargot’ and I love it. The one that a local bakery is selling has Custard and Sultanas in it. These ‘Puff Pastry Twists’ are inspired by the bakery’s ‘Escargot’. It takes only a few minutes to make the Custard in the microwave. Using store-bought Frozen Butter Puff Pastry, these …
‘Yakiniku’ Sauce is a dipping sauce for Japanese style BBQ, but ‘Yakiniku’ Sauce can be used as a seasoning sauce for many dishes. The other day, I shared my Fried Rice recipe. This is a Takikomigohan recipe. Again, to season the dish, you only need ‘Yakiniku’ Sauce, nothing else. Using a rice cooker, this dish …
Every time I use Potato Chips (Crisps) for cooking, I receive negative response from some people. Good quality Potato Chips are basically Fried Potato that is seasoned. Why can’t we use it for cooking? I have no problem about using it for Salads. ‘Carrot & Potato Chips Salad’ and ‘Spinach, Lettuce & Potato Chips Salad’ …
