I wanted to make Pistachio Ice Cream for a long time and finally decided to make it. I needed Pistachio Paste and looked for it, then realised it is very expensive. That’s why I made ‘Pistachio Paste’ by myself. Once you have the Paste, what you have to do is mixing it with Vanilla Ice …
I used to use Gelatine Powder to make this jelly, but lately I prefer Agar Agar Powder. The texture of Gelatine is more suitable for some types of jellies, but Agar Agar Powder is suitable for this jelly. It is so easy to use and it doesn’t have unpleasant smell like Gelatine. Agar Agar Powder …

Bananas turn spotty and black very quickly in hot summer. When I have very ripe Bananas, I usually bake Banana Cake but I don’t want to bake a cake on a hot day. Today I made this Yoghurt Ice Cream. I mashed the ripe Bananas and mixed with Yoghurt and whipped Cream. Even children can …

This Fruit Salad Jelly is usually made with Kanten and it is very popular in Japan. My mother used to set it in cups for individual serves. Today I used my old Tupperware Jelly Mould that I bought decades ago and I am still using. It was a good investment. Kanten is hard to find …

My favourite Japanese summer dessert called ‘Mizu Yōkan’ is commonly made with smooth Azuki (Red Beans) Paste and Kanten.
