I have come across an interesting YouTube video. British high school boys were tasting American Thanksgiving dishes, and one of them was a dessert called ‘Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallows.’ Many boys said it was extremely sweet. I had never known such a dessert and I was very curious, so I studied the recipes I …
This is a quick and easy Sultana Bread. You can make with regular Self-Raising Flour and without Yeast. The texture is similar to the Cake, but not too sweet. Slightly softer batter seems to work better when cooked in a rice cooker. If you want to bake it in the oven, use less Milk. Makes …
There are many different types of Chocolate Cake in the world. In Japan, there is one type of chocolate cake that is called with a French name ‘Gateau Au Chocolat’, and it is very popular. This White Chocolate and Matcha version is based on my ‘Gateau Au Chocolat’ recipe. Today I added 2 tablespoons Matcha …
Crumble can be made without an oven. This crunchy Crumble was made in a frying pan, and it is the most energy efficient method. Add this Crumble to Pan-stewed Apple, and that is Apple Crumble as you can see the photo below. You can add this Crumble to other stewed fruit, canned fruit, OR ice …
These cookies melt in your mouth. I love the delicate powdery texture of these cookies. The cookie dough needs to be dry and just moist enough so that you can form it into balls. DO NOT add more Sugar to the dough because I think it will ruin the flavour. The cookies will get coated …
I hesitate to call this dessert a ‘Pie’ as it has no pastry, but it is called so. Absolutely easy and ‘Impossible’ to go wrong. There are many slightly different recipes and you might have your own. This is my recipe that is just right for my 22.5cm Pyrex pie dish. Some people use Coconut …
This is a very basic Sultana Cake, that our Grannies used to make. A little bland, but very comforting, and you would want a nice cuppa with it. To make this cake, you need to boil Sultanas first, so that Sultanas become soft and juicy. Then you add Eggs and Flour. It’s very easy to …
This is almost identical with my ‘Monkey Bread’. Using the same ingredients to make Cinnamon Rolls, you can make these yummy Cinnamon Bread bites easily. This is a perfect treat you can share with your quests. I guarantee your whole house will smell amazing while you are baking this Bread. Makes 4 to 6 Servings …
Several weeks ago, my daughter came home with 4 bottles of 2 litre Milk, and all of them had past the use-by date. I made Cottage Cheese from the 8 litres of Milk and kept the Cottage Cheese in the freezer. I have been using it for cooking since then. Today I used the last …
I have just recovered from a nasty flu. While I was in bed struggling to eat, my husband made an attempt to cook Stewed Apple for me, but it ended up a mushy paste-like sauce. Today I used it to make these Muffins based on my ‘Morning Glory Muffins’. If you have leftover Apple Sauce, …
Today I baked a Rum Raisin Pound Cake. And the cake brought back a wonderful memory of the Japanese Chocolate called ‘Rummy.’ It is certainly a very alcoholic Chocolate that contains Rum-steeped Raisins and Chocolate Ganache inside. I can’t remember when was the last time I ate it. I decided to coat the cake with …
When I want to use up leftover Egg White, I most likely bake ‘Langues de Chat’ Biscuits, but not in the proper way any more. I thinly spread the mixture on a baking tray and make one large biscuit. It’s easy to break it into smaller pieces as the biscuit becomes crispy when cools down. …
