I like ‘Takikomigohan’, a dish of Rice that is cooked with other ingredients and all seasoning. I particularly love ‘Takikomigohan’ that is seasoned with Soy Sauce, and I sometimes crave it. When I don’t want to bother preparing other ingredients, I cook this ‘Soy Sauce Rice’. It’s just Rice, but cooked in Dashi Stock seasoned …
This is Dairy-free version of my ‘Whatever Fruit You Have’ Cake. I used Sunflower Oil instead of Butter. I like the fluffy and soft texture of the cake that is made with Oil, but the flavour can be bland. Spice, Citrus Juice, Vanilla, Brandy can improve the flavour. I added all of them. Cake Tin …
I bought Cooked Ramen Noodles from supermarket and I was totally disappointed with it. The same brand’s Cooked Udon Noodles are a great product and I like its texture, but the Ramen Noodles are too thick and the texture is not suitable for Ramen Soup. Probably it is OK for stir-fry. However, for this Quick …
Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding is a very popular dessert in Australia. This is an old classic recipe I wrote down in my recipe book decades ago. It requires a scary amount of Sugar. You can reduce the amount slightly. I have once halved the amount, but the pudding was not very tasty. You need a reasonable …
I use a same volume of ‘Flour’ and ‘Egg & Water mixture’ to make Tempura batter. For Fritter batter, I do the same. It’s easy to remember. Today I used Milk instead of Water and added a little Sugar. You can use the same batter for other fruit fritters, however, you need to coat the …

She was afraid Potatoes were not ready for harvest, but she dug up anyway, and found a lot of Baby Potatoes. I cooked them with …

This is the essentail sauce for traditional Christmas Pudding, but for grown-ups only. I don’t make this Custard Sauce very sweet as I always serve it with sweet dessert, but you may wish to add extra Sugar. The sauce becomes thicker as it cools. You can make it thinner by adding a little extra Milk. …
The other day, when I found Lamb meat was on special at a supermarket, I bought a block and thinly sliced it. I divided into easy-to-use portions and froze them. Thinly sliced meat is quick and easy to cook. It took less than 10 minutes to cook this Lamb Curry Rice Bowl as I used …
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 wonder why these biscuits are called ‘Empire Biscuits’. It seems there are different names in different regions, but I call them ‘Empire Biscuits’. I use my old classic ‘Shortbread’ recipe for the biscuits. Many people use red coloured Glacé Cherries for the topping, but I prefer natural coloured ones. This is a perfect treat …
