These ‘Muscovado Dates & Walnuts Cupcakes’ can be baked in the oven or even microwaved. But the result is best when steamed. When soft batter is steamed instead of baked, the cupcakes become very soft and tender. That’s why I often love to steam. It’s quicker, too. However, when I took this photo, I did …
I once suffered from depression. When we were living in Japan for a short period of time, my condition deteriorated and I was just staying home being sad. My daughter was only 6 years old then, and she knew I was not well. One winter evening, it was already dark when my husband came home …

I have been thinking what I should call this cake. This is not ‘Brownie’ because it is not brown. It’s green but I can’t call it ‘Greenie’ because it just sounds awful. Then I ended up calling it ‘Matcha & White Chocolate Brownie’. The Macadamia nuts are optional but I recommend this addition. I have …
This is my daughter Sachi’s recipe. To be precise, this is the recipe that she learned from her Great-Auntie Joan for her school project many years ago. Originally the recipe required 1 cup of Caster Sugar but I reduced it to 3/4 cup. It is a good idea to serve this cake with fresh fruit …
I make birthday cake for my family members every year. My husband always wants a black forest cake for his birthday, but this year I didn’t want him to eat the high-calorie cake because of his health issue. So I made this healthy cake for him. He hates healthy food and this cake is not …
