June Cookoff: Opera Cake
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 to eat my words - coz I made it. The original recipe came from Masterchef [...]

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 [...]
Continue reading...June Cookoff: French Garlic Prawns
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 [...]

20 July 2010
I have one last dessert to share from our May Cookoff. Yes, I have been incredibly slack about blogging recently. First it was the holidays, then it was the settling down from the holidays… Do you feel that way sometimes? That life is zooming by and you are making every effort to keep up with it [...]
Continue reading...May Cookoff - Apple Pie
10 July 2010
If there’s one thing I adore, that’s pie. Especially because I suck at making shortcrust pastry. So don’t expect any edible pies from me anytime soon. Not that it stopped Sefie from dishing up a really really yummy apple pie! Guess at least I know where to go if I’m ever craving for one again? Apple [...]

9 July 2010
The housemate was bouncing happily about when we started discussing what to make for dessert that would fit the theme: Comfort food. “Crème caramel, crème caramel!” he chanted. And when he found me Julia Child’s crème caramel recipe, I was sold. So we made just that. we made Julia Child’s crème caramel Crème Renversée au Caramel (Caramel Custard) Ingredients ½ cup [...]

7 July 2010
Hollandaise. Poached eggs. Would you believe it if I told you I’ve not had Hollandaise before the May Cookoff? Well, I haven’t, and obviously I didn’t know what I was missing out on either. Because the offerings by Sefie were freaking fantastic, even if I’m not so sure the making process is all that ‘comforting’. Eggs Florentine A [...]
Continue reading...May Cookoff - German Cheese Schnitzel
6 July 2010
Brought to the table by Celina and her boyfriend Toby, I must say this was extremely sinful comfort food that was also so so so so good. I don’t actually have many photos of this (in fact, I seem to have only one. Eeep.) but I’m sure we are all familiar enough with cheese qualities to [...]
