Recipe: Beef Stroganoff

Remember this? Yup, it’s the beef stroganoff from the Masterchef Finale Party Despite being a pasta lover, I must admit to not having had stroganoff prior to the Masterchef Finale Party. In fact, I didn’t even know of it till Masterchef came along. So my very first time making Beef Stroganoff was the day of the party, [...]

Now, let’s talk about Masterchef. Even if you don’t watch it, you probably know what Masterchef is. If you still [...]

Recipe: Veal Saltimbocca

This is going to be the first of many of the “let’s try Masterchef’s recipe!” posts I think. But watching Masterchef every night during dinner time really does give me inspiration - and sometimes, knowledge on what never to do in a kitchen. For my first recipe, I decided to do the Veal Saltimbocca as [...]

Meatless Mondays: Spinach and Sweet Potato Cannelloni

With winter laying its icy claws upon us, it’s time for the bakes and casseroles to take center stage, at least that’s how it feels like for me. This is actually the first year that I’ve started doing bakes and casseroles, so it’s been rather exciting! I’ve never done anything like this before so it [...]

The Bad Habits Cafe - Daylesford

In the spirit of clearing backlog, here’s another Daylesford post. I will admit it. The biggest reason I agreed to this place for lunch was the name. Bad Habits Cafe within the Convent Gallery. With a name like that, how could I say no? As stated before, the cafe is located within the Convent Gallery itself, [...]

Frangos & Frangos, Daylesford

Over the Easter weekend (Yes, this review is rather late, but better late than never?), I went up to Daylesford to attend the Daylesford Makers Market. Couple of my friends and I decided to take that chance to have a quick overnight stay in Daylesford and enjoy the serenity of Spa capital. We didn’t really [...]

International Incident: Pizza Pie

When Penny (from jeroxie) first mentioned pizza pie to me, my imagination started running. I’ve never heard of the term before and I was told that it was gaining popularity in Canada. So what was it actually? Was it a pie with a pizza filling, or was it a pizza with a thick crust like [...]

Hidden Pizza - A Melbourne Foodie Mystery

I love a good mystery, better yet if it involves food. Twitter ran ablaze with the hash tag #hiddenpizza today and it piqued my curiosity. As it turned out, the buzz was created by this: Hidden Pizza. If you don’t like spoilers and want to hunt down this place yourself, this is where you [...]

Tomato Risotto - February Cookoff : Red

Our 3rd couple to the table was Sirene from Fables in Fashion and her partner. Their offering for the table was a tomato risotto. Sounds simple but it was absolutely delish. Aside from the Yee Sang, our red theme had evolved into the italian theme, totally unplanned too! Tomato Risotto 1L vegetable stock 2 x 400g cans chopped [...]

Margherita Pizza - February Cook Off: Red

Yes, I do realise it’s April now. I’m terribly behind on some of my blog posts, but I’m hoping that late is better than never. At least in this case. For the month of February we had the theme of Red. In Feb, we had Valentine’s day and Chinese New Year both to celebrate so the [...]
