My method of making Basic Syrup is simple. I cook same amount of Water and Sugar until slightly thickens. You can make Lemon Syrup in the same way. Cook same amount of Lemon Juice and Sugar. I don’t cook it for too long, but you can simmer it down to make the Syrup thick. This …
There are some foods that I crave when weather is getting warm. ‘Sushi’ is one of them, and ‘South East Asian flavoured Salad’ is another. This Rice Noodle Salad with Fish Sauce Dressing is perfect for the craving. Today I added Prawns, but Chicken is also good. Makes 2 Servings Ingredients 2 servings Rice Vermicelli2 …
Lemon Delicious is a classic dessert and it is similar to my ‘Lemon Magic Cake’. It has layers of fluffy sponge and gooey lemon custard. Many recipes require a lot of Sugar. 1 cup OR even more Sugar for 4 servings is scary. I feel 2 tablespoons per serving would be the maximum. I understand …
Last night, I really wanted to eat a lemony sweet. But I was too tired to make anything. Then, I decided to make ‘Instant Mug Cake’ that is super quick and easy. I poured a mixture of Lemon Juice and Sugar over it. It didn’t take 5 minutes to make it. But this lemony mug …
Magic Cake turns into three layers when baked. Sometimes it turns into only 2 layers of Custard and Sponge, but it is still good. My basic ‘Magic Cake’ recipe is very versatile and you can add extra ingredient(s) for flavours. Today I added Lemon Zest and Lemon Juice. I was happy with the result. The …
Several years ago, I bought a bag of Raw Sugar to make ‘Kasutera’ Cake. I still have a lot of it because it’s been difficult for me to use those large Sugar crystals. I am trying to use it up now as it is getting old. ‘Sugar Coated Cookies‘ is a good way to use …

Sadly it was the war in Ukraine that introduced me Sunflower Oil. When I started my challenge to cook Ukrainian dishes and cakes, I started using Sunflower Oil and I fell in love with it. I often use it for cakes lately. Sunflower Oil makes the cakes soft and the cakes stay soft when cold. …
I am a big fan of Lemon Curd Slice, but Lemon Curd contains a large amount of Butter and you need a lot of Lemon Juice to make it. This ‘Lemon Squares’ tastes almost the same but much lighter, and you can make it with just 1 Lemon. This is a very easy recipe. You …
My husband’s great auntie Betty’s Belgian Shortcake was absolutely delicious. I made the same shortcake with different filling today. I used Stewed Apples and Lemon Curd. Why? Because I had Stewed Apples that was getting old and I needed to use it up. This happens frequently since my family’s fruit consumption dropped after my daughter …
Lorna is one of my husband’s grandfather Theo’s sisters. My Scone recipes are all based on Lorna’s Scone recipe. Recently I have discovered another great recipe of hers. It’s her Cottage Cheese Cake recipe. Cottage Cheese used to be the most accessible cheese and it is quite easy to make at home. Cottage Cheese, Lemon, …
My ‘Super Easy No-bake Cheesecake’ is literally SUPER EASY. You only need basic ingredients, BUT you must use full-fat Cream Cheese and Thickened Cream (OR Heavy Cream). This ‘Cream Cheese Mousse’ is almost identical to the Cheesecake, but you can use fat-reduced light type products because the mixture should be set in the serving glasses …
