The other day I made ‘Black Forest Cake’ for my son’s birthday. Every time I use Canned Dark Cherries, I feel guilty about letting the unused purple syrup go into the drain. I wondered if I could make something with it? Then I made it into Granita. How simple is that? It was actually a …
I love ‘Prawn Wonton Soup’ and I bet you do. My family members love it too, but they love this ‘Crispy Fried Prawn Wontons’ even more. It is surprisingly easy to make at home and wrapping can be done even by children. These Fried Wontons can be a very popular party food, too. Makes 25 …
If you are familiar with Arnott’s Choc Ripple Biscuits, you probably know ‘Choc Ripple Log Cake’. The very dry biscuits turn into moist chocolate cake when covered with whipped Cream.

‘Nikujaga’ is one of the most popular Japanese home-cooked dishes. There are many variations. Potato can be replaced with Satoimo (small Taro) and meat can be chunky rather than thinly sliced.

I bought a bag of Frozen Raspberries. I was VERY DISAPPOINTED when I found most of the Raspberries were broken into tiny pieces. I picked good ones to make a dessert, and a lot of broken crumbles were left in the bag. What would you do with the crappy Raspberries? I made this sauce. It …

‘Kakiage’ is a type of Tempura made with a variety of chopped or thinly sliced ingredients. When I cook Tempura, I almost always end up having some leftover batter. Then I make ‘Kakiage’ to use up the batter. This ‘Nattō & Parsley Kakiage’ is a very unique one. Nattō lovers would enjoy it. Makes 2 …

None of my family members would enjoy this dish, because they hate Wasabi. I like Wasabi and I want the Wasabi flavour of the sauce quite strong. Today I added 2 teaspoons. The spiciness of Wasabi Paste can be fairly mild or quite strong. Please alter the amount to suit your taste. Makes 1 Serving …
This is the same recipe as my ‘White Chocolate & Blueberry Cupcakes’. I simply replaced Blueberries with Blackberries. However, the Blackberries that I used were very large. I didn’t mix them into the batter. I tore them in half, placed them on top, and slightly pushed them into the batter. Makes 12 Cupcakes Ingredients 125g …
I was making ‘My Creamy Caesar Dressing’ today. Suddenly an idea came to me and I happened to add Soy Sauce instead of Worcestershire Sauce. I was just curious, but I knew it would taste OK. The result was not OK, but really good. Now I want to share this recipe with you. Makes 4 …
