This Carrot Bread is not very sweet. Because I stared baking it for my then very young children as a substitute for bread, and I didn’t want it sweet at all. Today I added Sugar, and you may wish to add even more Sugar to make it properly sweet cake, but I like to eat …

Did you make Hot Cross Buns during Easter holidays? If you have some leftover ingredients, this is a good recipe to use them up. I made these soft cookies using the leftover Mixed Peels. The amount of Sultanas (Raisins) and Mixed Peels is just a suggestion. You can add more or less. Makes 12 Cookies …
It is very hard to believe now that I used to hate this vegetable. I hated Shungiku (Edible Chrysanthemum) and never tried to eat it. An Asian grocer next to the supermarket where I usually do my grocery shopping sells Shungiku and they are inexpensive. Today I bought very fresh one, so I made a …
Macadamia Nuts are native to Australia. They are quite pricey nuts but they are getting more pricey these days.

Tom Yum Paste is a versatile seasoning. I use it for fried rice and pasta dishes such as ‘Fiery Tom Yum Kung Spaghetti’. It can be an instant marinade for fried chicken. Tom Yum Paste is already salted, depending on the amount of the paste that you use, you have to reduce the amount of …

April 25 is ‘Anzac Day’ in Australia and New Zealand. It is a national day of remembrance that commemorates all Australians and New Zealanders who served and …
This is my second ‘Fiery Spaghetti’ recipe after ‘Fiery Beef Bulgogi Spaghetti’. When I eat spicy food, I always sweat quite badly. But I love spicy food. This is a Thai-inspired dish and it is really fiery hot. The amount of Tom Yum Paste in this recipe is just right for me, but you can …
Sweet and sour flavour of Pickled Sliced Ginger (aka Sushi Ginger) goes well with oily Pork. But you can replace Pork with Chicken or Beef. I like topping with extra Pickled Ginger.
