Today is March 12, it’s Auntie Joan’s birthday, and that reminded me her Orange Marmalade was getting old. Auntie Joan gives us a jar of her homemade Marmalade every year, but we don’t eat Marmalade. So, I use it to make cakes such as ‘Orange Marmalade & Whisky Pound Cake’. Today I made these Cookies …
The other day, I was given a box of Dates stuffed with Almonds, chopped Pistachios and Candied Orange Peel. I have eaten a variety of stuffed Dates before, but I can say now Candied Orange Peel Stuffed Dates are my favourite. I loved them so much, so I made them today. You only need Dried …
My husband’s auntie Joan gave her Lemon Cake recipe to my daughter many years ago. It is a Lemon Syrup Cake. I was making the cake today, then I realised that I had Oranges as well. I thought the cake would be more delicious if I used both Orange juice and Lemon juice, so I …
When I first tried to make Orange Marmalade, most recipes that I found were for a too large quantity. I didn’t want to cook 1kg Oranges. And many recipes had long instructions. I wanted a simply recipe, then I made my own. This recipe is very versatile. You can cook Marmalade using just 1 Orange …
I made these Scones using juice of an Orange and its Peel. You won’t get enough juice to make the dough from an Orange, but DO NOT worry. You can add Milk as well. OR you can get more juice from another Orange. I chopped up the Peel and made Candied Orange Peel. You can …
There are many recipes for this popular salad. Some people add Onion and Parsley, but I don’t. Some people use Orange Juice to dress the salad, but I believe it lacks sourness. This is how I make Carrot & Orange Salad. I like it simple so that I can enjoy the flavour of Carrot and …
Summer in Japan, where I grew up, is very hot and humid. When I was a child, shaved ice with colourful syrup was a treat on a hot summer day. However, I don’t enjoy it these days. First of all, I don’t have an ice shaver and I can’t make it at home. But the …
Auntie Joan gives us a jar of her Orange Marmalade every year. We don’t eat Orange Marmalade, but I am very happy to receive it because her Orange Marmalade makes lovely cakes. ‘Orange Marmalade & Whisky Pound Cake’ is my favourite, but today I tried to make a rice cooker cake. It turned out a …
Based on my ‘Basic Bavarois’ recipe, you can make a variety of Bavarois in different flavours. Today I replaced Milk with Orange Juice and made this delicious dessert. Topping is optional, but I strongly recommend to add some fresh Orange segments. Today I mixed the Orange segments with a little Sugar and Grand Marnier, but …
The other day I happened to see a recipe of Orange Jelly. I was very surprised to find the recipe required an unthinkable amount of Gelatine Powder. I became curious to compare other people’s Orange Jelly recipes. Some recipes require a lot of Sugar, and some recipes are complicated. To me, Jelly is simple to …
My husband’s Auntie Joan kindly gives us her homemade Marmalade every year. We don’t eat Marmalade, but Joan’s Marmalade is perfect for making cakes, such as ‘Orange Marmalade & Whisky Pound Cake’. Today I made these cupcakes. Thanks to Joan’s Scottish Marmalade that was slightly bitter, the cupcakes were delicious. Makes 12 Cupcakes Ingredients 125g …
I bought a bag of Mixed Peel for Christmas baking, and there was leftover, as always. I often make scones and cupcakes to use it up. Today I made these cookies. Basically I just added some Mixed Peel to my ‘Easiest Sweet Shortcrust Pastry’, but I replaced a part of Flour with Almond Meal. I …
