I am a big fan of Lemon Curd Slice, but Lemon Curd contains a large amount of Butter and you need a lot of Lemon Juice to make it. This ‘Lemon Squares’ tastes almost the same but much lighter, and you can make it with just 1 Lemon. This is a very easy recipe. You …
Rice Soup is a good way to use up leftover Cooked Rice, particularly Cooked Rice that is cold and hard. Today I used canned diced Tomatoes, but if you have the harvest from your garden, please use fresh ripe Tomatoes, and the soup will be beautiful. You can add the Cooked Rice to any soup, …
This is one of the soups that I was cooking for my husband when he was eating a low-calorie soup every day for health reasons. I use no starchy vegetables, but you may wish to add Potato, which is surprisingly low in calories. I recommend to add a few drops Sesame Oil for flavour and …

Until recently, I didn’t know Chicken Piccata in the western countries is served in a sauce made with Lemon Juice, Butter, and Capers. ‘Piccata’ in Japan means a method to cook Chicken, Meat OR other ingredients, that are coated with Egg, then pan-fried.
