If you have some leftover Condensed Milk and you need to use it up, you can add it to cake batter. Today I added it to Pound Cake batter. As I also added Lemon Juice, I needed to add more Flour. The cake turned out a lot larger than normal. You may wish to add …
If you are interested in cooking Chicken Gizzards, that are very cheap and called Giblets in Melbourne where I live, but don’t know how to cook them, try this easy recipe. Many people suggest to remove the tough silver coloured parts from Chicken Gizzards before cooking them. I don’t want to do that with my …
The dish I most frequently cook with a block of Konnyaku (Konjac) is ‘Kimpira’ Konnyaku (Konjac). It is a very popular dish in Japan. Today I added Tuna and Garlic. I think other Canned Fish such as Mackerel and Sardines can be used instead of Tuna. It’s best to serve this dish with freshly cooked …
At Christmas time every year, my husband’s Auntie Joan kindly gives us her homemade Marmalade. We don’t eat it much, but her Marmalade is perfect for this cake. This cake is only for grown-ups because it is alcoholic as I added Whisky to the batter and brushed with extra Whisky on top. I believe Whisky …
If your rice cooker has ‘Cake’ setting, it cooks not only cakes but also crust-less Quiche and Frittata. My ‘Rice Cooker Zucchini Frittata’ is super easy. Today I made ‘Spinach and Ham Frittata’ using a 120g bag of Baby Spinach. I LOVE Baby Spinach because it is easy to use. If you use ordinary Spinach, …
The other day when I cooked ‘Oven-Baked Cajun Style Dirty Rice’, I ended up having some leftover Chicken Livers. I decided to make Chicken Liver Pâté using the leftover. I found lots of recipes on the internet and I was discouraged to try those recipes. First of all, many of those recipes require a lot …
This dirty looking Oven-Baked Rice is made with Chicken Giblets (Gizzards and Livers). I think Livers make the dirty colour. It is actually delicious and you know Gizzards and Livers are cheap. It is not hard to make, but you need to work fair bit to prepare Gizzards and Livers. Serve with a refreshing salad. …
Pancakes are such a popular snack and I assume you cook them, too. Why don’t you try these Coconut Milk Pancakes for a change? Just replace Milk that you usually use with Coconut Milk. The batter tends to become thicker than normal. You can adjust the thickness right for you by adding some Water. If …
Pork Speck is a type of cured, lightly smoked ham. It can create delicious soups. I am using it for many dishes, and this is a very simple one that I often cook with canned Beans. Today I used Cannellini Beans. The other day I used Boiled Soy Beans and it was really good. Please …
I have a very precious Gingerbread recipe. I often made Gingerbread Men with my children when they were young. But I don’t remember when was the last time. Today I made the proper Gingerbread for the first time in many years, but I couldn’t bother cutting it out into shapes. I rolled the dough into …
I often make this simple salad with ‘Ponzu’. Today I used leftover Boiled Soy Beans, but sometimes I use Edamame Beans. The other day I added Crispy Chilli Oil that I have been crazy about, and I was totally impressed with the improvement in the flavour. Crispy Chilli Oil makes anything taste better. I used …
I needed to use some leftover Mixed Dried Fruit, so I decided to add them to Scones. All my Scone recipes are based on Auntie Loran’s recipe that doesn’t require Egg. The amount of the leftover Mixed Dried Fruit was not enough, so I added extra Sultanas and Black Currants. I was afraid that I …
