In Japan where I grew up, no one had oven at home. My mother made biscuits (cookies) by frying in the oil. The ingredients were Egg, Sugar and Flour. Oven baked ones in various shapes were available from sweet shops but the ingredients were the same. This is the flavour that I remember. These dry …
Macadamia Nuts are native to Australia and this delicious slice is very popular. If it is difficult to find Macadamia Nuts where you live, you can use other Nuts such as Cashews, Walnuts OR Pecans, but the slice wouldn’t taste the same. Smaller OR broken Macadamia Nuts are less expensive and they are perfect for …
It was about 20 years ago, I first came across Hummingbird Cake when one of my colleagues brought in her homemade Hummingbird Cake to share. She gave me a copy of the recipe that she found in a magazine. The recipe has been lost, but I made my own recipe based on ‘My Legendary Carrot …

I grated Sweet Potato instead of Carrots, added more spices, and I ended up with this cake. I halved the Sugar for …
The other day my husband asked me to make cake or something for staff members of the tool shop where he works. This is what I made for them. I basically added a can of Apple Slices and Cinnamon to my Basic Plain Cupcakes, and topped with Cinnamon Crumble. It can’t go wrong, can it? …

When I have 1 Egg White to use up, I most likely make ‘Langues de Chat’ Biscuits, but in an easy way. I sometimes add Almond Flakes OR Pepitas. When I need to use up 1 Egg Yolk, there are some choices. ‘Microwave 1 Egg Yolk Custard’ is one option, and this is another. These …
