This Fruit Salad Jelly is usually made with Kanten and it is very popular in Japan. My mother used to set it in cups for individual serves. Today I used my old Tupperware Jelly Mould that I bought decades ago and I am still using. It was a good investment. Kanten is hard to find …
I have a really good ‘Carrot Cake’ recipe. My family members started calling it Hiroko’s Legendary Carrot Cake, so I have named it ‘My Legendary Carrot Cake’. Key ingredients include Pineapple and Sultanas. I added those to these pancakes. These pancakes are not very sweet, but they taste lovely. One day this recipe might be …
I came across a blog story written about a fruit salad cake that was made with mixed fresh fruit such as Banana, Apple, Pineapple and Berries. When I read it, I hit on an idea that I could use the can of Fruit Salad, which had been sitting in the pantry for a long time. …
I used to make these doughnuts with finely grated Carrot only. One day I added some leftover canned crushed Pineapple, which I always add to ‘My Legendary Carrot Cake’, the flavour was improved and I liked it very much. Then I started adding Pineapple.

She shared her mum’s Pineapple Sago Pudding recipe on my Facebook page when I posted my Tapioca Matcha Milk Jelly recipe. As I have been asked a few times for this Pineapple Sago Pudding recipe, I …
‘Cassata’ is a traditional Sicilian layered cake made with Ricotta and Candied Fruit. However, for many Australians, ‘Cassata’ is an Ice Cream Cake containing candied or dried fruit and nuts. This is my Cheat Cassata that is made with store-bought Vanilla Ice Cream. You can sandwich it with two slices of Sponge Cake. Today I …
‘Piña Colada’ is a sweet cocktail made with Rum, Coconut Cream or Coconut Milk, and Pineapple Juice. I made this cake for my daughter’s 21st birthday on her request. This very alcoholic cake is only for grown-ups. You can make this cake without Rum, but it would be a Pineapple & Coconut Cake. Still delicious, …
