June Cookoff: Opera Cake
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! For the longest time, I didn’t know what to make for dessert. What was french and wasn’t creme caramel or creme brulee? Then Kev suggested Opera Cake. I google’d that up and immediately went “Not a chance in hell!” I had [...]

4 September 2010
Macarons have taken Melbourne by storm. Maybe even Australia, or the world. They seem to be the new ‘in’ thing and while I personally like them, I don’t like them enough to be eating them everyday. But eating is easy, making is hard. I’ve heard so many horror stories about macaron baking from various friends [...]

3 September 2010
I was rather surprised by this dish, because obviously I hadn’t done my research (as was mentioned before as I hadn’t realise that Garlic Prawns was french. Well, I suppose the name “French Garlic Prawns” should have been a dead giveaway. Ahem. Our hosts for the night were also the ones behind the delightful garlic prawns: [...]

2 September 2010
When I came up with the French theme for our cookoff, I knew in my heart that there was only one dish I’d be cooking. I didn’t even look into any other dishes nor do any further research. My little heart was set on making the dish that had captured Julia Child’s editor’s attention: her [...]

1 September 2010
It seems that the reporting of these cookoffs will never be on time. I’m not proud of that fact, but what can you do but accept fact? June was the month for French - a theme I had begged for and wanted since the start of the cookoff dinners in January. It was when the [...]

30 August 2010
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, [...]

17 August 2010
Okay, let’s try this blogging consistently thing again. Ever since my holiday, my blogging schedule has gone out of whack and I’ve been falling in and out of the habit. I will try harder, I promise. Now, let’s talk about Masterchef. Even if you don’t watch it, you probably know what Masterchef is. If you still [...]

9 August 2010
Here’s another gem from home. We usually have these on Sundays, not all sundays, but the special ones when mum feels like treating us. Is it authentic Mee Goreng Mamak? No, simply because getting all these amazing ingredients in the Mee Goreng Mamak you get at the actual Mamak stalls is not possible unless you pay [...]

6 August 2010
Remember my friend who got married? She didn’t just get married, she also moved into her new house the day after the wedding. A new kitchen is so much fun. To prod and poke (with the blessings of the mistress of the house, of course) so when my lovely girlfriend said yes to Elsie [...]

3 August 2010
Our family tends to be rather boring when it comes to breakfast. When you are up at 4.30am, trying to get ready for work and school so that you can be out of the door by 6.30am, you tend to not want to spend ages fiddling with breakfast, and more importantly, we can’t really [...]
