Summer in Japan, where I grew up, is very hot and humid. When I was a child, shaved ice with colourful syrup was a treat on a hot summer day. However, I don’t enjoy it these days. First of all, I don’t have an ice shaver and I can’t make it at home. But the …
This is my favourite way to enjoy Chia Seeds. To achieve the consistency of the pudding that I like, I mix 2 & 1/2 tablespoons Chia Seeds with 1/2 cup Milk and 1 teaspoon Maple Syrup. And I always add some Frozen Blueberries, because I always have them. You may wish to add fresh Blueberries …
As we all know Coffee and Chocolate are a great combination. This is a delightful cold dessert that is easy to make, however, it takes time as you need to cool it in fridge. I like Coffee Jelly not very sweet, rather bitter and aromatic. When jellies are set, you need to decorate the parfait. …
Custard Powder is a mixture of Starch, Sugar, Colours and Flavours. You mix Custard Powder and some Sugar with Milk in a saucepan, and heat it. That is the easiest way to make custard and it’s Egg-free. It can be Vegan if you use plant-based Milk. Custard Powder is basically Corn Starch. I made this …

The other day I happened to see a recipe of Orange Jelly. I was very surprised to find the recipe required an unthinkable amount of Gelatine Powder. I became curious to compare other people’s Orange Jelly recipes. Some recipes require a lot of Sugar, and some recipes are complicated. To me, Jelly is simple to …
Guess what happens when you add Gelatine Powder to Hot Chocolate and make it into Jelly. I have tried it today and I was amazed. As the Hot Chocolate cooled down, the Chocolate Milk separated into layers. When it was set, there were two different coloured layers of Chocolate Milk Jelly, and another layer was …
My ‘Basic No-Bake Cheesecake’ is simple and easy. You can add a variety of Fruit to it. However, some types of fresh fruit break down the protein found in Gelatine and prevent the cheesecake from setting. Pineapple is one of those fruit. I recommend to use canned Pineapple.

I needed to clean up my fridge completely. I had a little bit of Yoghurt, Condensed Milk and Thickened Cream. I decided to mix them together and make Ice Cream. I didn’t have Lemon but I had 1 Lime. I added its juice and zest as well. Result was a unique flavoured Ice Cream. Makes …

As I expected, …
