This is a very versatile soft cream that can be used for many dessert, particularly perfect for the Trifle. Its softness can be altered by adding less milk or less whipped cream for firmer texture. If you want it sweeter, add more sugar. This recipe uses a half of my ‘Basic Custard’, but you can …
This ‘Prawn & Egg Fried Rice’ is not a particularly special dish, but I like lettuce leaves in it. Many people do not cook lettuce. Why don’t you try cooking lettuce?

This is what my mother used to cook for my sisters and me. She often used thinly sliced off-cut beef or pork, but minced meat is easier for me. Today I cooked Onion and Shiitake with mince, but you can cook whatever you have. When I was a little girl, it was such a fun …

I am writing this recipe for my son and daughter. When they were young, I cooked this Egg-only fried rice quite often because they asked me to cook it. They say it was one of their favourites and they are still fond of it. I always use dried Chopped Chives for this dish, and another …
I used to use Imitation Crab Meat (aka Crab Sticks) for this dish. Imitation Crab Meat is made of white fish paste, starch, sugar, egg whites and crab flavouring. These days I don’t use Imitation Crab Meat for cooking because I can’t find any good quality ones where I live, but you can use it …
