    Hoisin & Peanut Dipping Sauce

    This is a very yummy sauce, that is particularly good for Rice Paper Rolls. A local Asian Food takeaway store sells best Rice Paper Rolls and they always offer a small tub of sauce. As they don’t teach me how to make it, I tried to recreate it. This sauce is pretty close to theirs. …

    Coconut & Almond Cake (Gluten-Free)

    When I first made this cake, it was to use up a can of Coconut Cream, which I bought by mistake. I often use Coconut Milk for cooking, but not Coconut Cream. Because of the high oil content of Coconut Cream, I didn’t add Butter to this cake. I didn’t add Flour either. I made …

    This is a yummy ‘Otsumami’, that is something you eat with alcoholic drinks. I reckon chilled beer would be great. I like to eat it with freshly cooked rice, too.
