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. …
This sauce can be used as a salad dressing, but it goes particularly well with Lamb. Grilled Lamb, Lamb Meatloaf, Lamb Koftas, etc. You can add Pepper OR Chilli, OR your favourite herbs such as Parsley, Mint, Dill, Oregano, etc. If you add some crumbled Fetta, it can be a yummy dip. See the photo …
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.

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).

Japanese Soufflé Cheesecake needs to be steam baked using a water bath. The batter is simple to make, but it’s tricky to keep the right temperature for the perfect result. Today I was just curious to find out what would happen if I cook it in my rice cooker, as I know Rice Cooker is …
My ‘Lemon Chicken’ is, in other words, ‘Kara-age’ (Japanese style Fried Chicken) with Lemon Sauce. I deep-fry the Chicken, but you can cook it in your favourite way. The main part of this dish is the sweet & sour Lemon Sauce. I always find the store-bought Lemon Chicken is too sweet. You can season the …
No-bake Cheesecake can be made without Gelatine and I have a recipe ‘Super Easy No-bake Cheesecake’. Today I added Gelatine and the cheesecake had an excellent texture. I made a top layer of Lemon Curd that is also softly set. Everyone enjoyed it and I am quite happy with the result. This No-bake Cheesecake is …
The other day, my daughter was trying to make Lemon flavoured cookies for her colleague who loves Lemon. I suggested her to add Lemon Zest and Juice to a basic cookie dough and drizzle Lemon Icing on the baked cookies. That’s the easiest way to make Lemon flavoured cookies. Here is my recipe. These are …
