Rhubarb can be used for many desserts, but I believe this is the easiest way to use it. Just add thinly sliced Rhubarb to Cupcakes. I used my ‘Basic Plain Cupcakes’ recipe but I increased the amount of Sugar as Rhubarb is quite sour. You don’t need to precook Rhubarb. Crunchy crumble topping is optional. …

This recipe is almost identical to my ‘Teriyaki Tofu Don’. I used a different flavoured sauce that was quite spicy, and I added Cashew Nuts for extra nutrients. This is a vegetarian dish.

This is my favourite hot day dish, that I often prepare for my family on a very hot day and I don’t want to cook anything. My kitchen has a large window that is facing west, and the kitchen can get extremely hot. While it is still not too hot, I prepare Sushi Rice and …
Yesterday, my son made a proper Dashi Stock using Bonito Flakes that is called ‘Hana Katsuo’ (花かつお). ‘Hana Katsuo’ makes a very nice dashi stock, but it was almost tasteless after being used.

This recipe can be a life-saver for busy parents. When my children were young and I was a very busy mum, I sometimes could not bother thinking about what to cook for dinner. One of my choices was Curry that I could cook with S&B Curry Roux Blocks as it was easy to prepare and …
Using ‘Tempura’ Batter, that can be made with Plain Flour, Potato Starch, Egg and Water, you can make a variety of savoury pancakes.

I bought frozen ‘Kabayaki’ Eel from an Asian grocer the other day. The fillet of Eel was grilled and seasoned. It was quite pricey and I bought just 1 fillet, that was NOT enough for whole family.

Since I realised that Arnott’s Choc Ripple Biscuits are the same size as the base of my 12-hole muffin tin’s cup, I have had this idea to make Mini Cup Cheesecakes and I finally made them today. I usually make the base of Cheesecake with crumbed sweet biscuits and melted Butter. But, for these Cup …
