    Ginger Pork & Eggplant Rice Bowl

    Pork and Eggplant is a great combination. This is the easiest Pork & Eggplant Rice Bowl recipe. I just covered the Rice with the popular Ginger Pork, but I cooked it with Eggplant. Using thinly sliced Pork and Eggplant, it won’t take long to cook. You need to prepare everything before you start cooking. Makes …

    Custard Powder Custard

    Occasionally I make Custard using Custard Powder. It is the quickest and easiest way to make Custard to serve with cake and pudding, and it is Egg-free. I followed the instruction on the package and I found the Custard too runny. This is how I make Custard using Foster Clark’s Custard Powder. You might be …

    Impossible Coconut Pie

    I hesitate to call this dessert a ‘Pie’ as it has no pastry, but it is called so. Absolutely easy and ‘Impossible’ to go wrong. There are many slightly different recipes and you might have your own. This is my recipe that is just right for my 22.5cm Pyrex pie dish. Some people use Coconut …

    Chia Seed Pudding

    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 …

    Chestnuts & Dried Mushrooms Rice

    You can use any Dried Mushrooms, but I strongly recommend to use some Dried Porcini. Today I added Dried Mixed Forest Mushrooms as well. These Dried Mushrooms are available from most supermarkets in Melbourne where I live. Chestnuts might be hard to find. I have very sore hands and can’t peel Chestnuts, so I used …

    Coffee Jelly Chocolate Parfait

    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. …

    Chocolate Syrup

    Chocolate Syrup is easy to make. You can find so many recipes on the internet, but I believe my recipe is easiest. It is basically soft Chocolate Icing. You need Icing Sugar (Powdered Sugar) and Cocoa Powder. I add a very small pinch Salt and Vanilla as well. No preservative and anything else is it. …

    Theo’s Green Tomato & Onion Preserve

    Theo is my husband’s grand father. Theo used to grow vegetables for a hobby and this is his recipe that was originally called ‘Green Tomato Pickles.’ However, it is not pickled Green Tomatoes. The recipe says the ingredients need to be boiled for 20 minutes. It is a kind of relish. You may wish to …

    Leftover Pumpkin Soup Risotto – Rice Cooker Method

    Using leftover Pumpkin Soup, I made ‘Macaroni Cheese’ yesterday, but I still had some leftover. To use it up, I made this Rice Cooker Risotto replacing a part of Chicken Stock with the Pumpkin Soup. We shouldn’t underestimate computerised rice cookers. Rice Cooker Risotto is not disappointing. Makes 2 Small Servings Ingredients 1 tablespoon Olive …

    Boiled Sultana Cake

    This is a very basic Sultana Cake, that our Grannies used to make. A little bland, but very comforting, and you would want a nice cuppa with it. To make this cake, you need to boil Sultanas first, so that Sultanas become soft and juicy. Then you add Eggs and Flour. It’s very easy to …
