Lemon Meringue Pie

By • Jul 1st, 2010 • Category: Baking Projects

I’m going to do some shameless advertising now: … … … I need guest bloggers. There. I’ve said it. You see, I’m … (a) leaving for Malaysia/ Bali for a break and there will be a point where I will not be able to find the time/ motivation to blog and it’ll be sooooo quiet [...]



The Pie That Got Away

By • Jun 16th, 2010 • Category: Baking Projects

This is The-Pie-That-Got-Away. It was one of my most beautiful creations. Like Gepetto, I was floating with pride and I wouldn’t let anyone touch it (at least until the next day to be photographed). I sighed after it. I lovingly gazed at it. I thought it was perfect from crust to the pointy tips of [...]



Fig Flaugnarde

You know how I get around a new ingredient, especially, with one I have never used before – I simply become obsessed. I start finding 101 ways to use it. Cook it. Bake it. Stew it. Roast it. You-name-it, I’d do it. My cousin once wrote on my  Twitter after my plum episode that I [...]

Having spent most of my life in a non-seasonal country, I’m fascinated by the way things grow in a timely manner in Australia. The last of the blood plums are picked but the green apples are just starting to ripen. I like to think that it’s a little bit like life, no? With science these [...]

I used the last of the stone fruits mom bought (this is two months ago now) in a late summer fruit tart. This is basically a throw-whatever-you-want-to-get-rid-of-in-your-fridge-tart. Just make sure its civil and edible. When my mom came to visit, the only place she thoroughly enjoyed herself was at the Queen Victoria Markets. She was [...]



Pear Tarte Tin

By • Jul 14th, 2008 • Category: Desserts

I love fruits. I admit I don’t have enough as I would like to but I’m getting there. I’ve also grown very fond of puff pastries. It’s incredibly useful especially on days you don’t want to cook. It’s a throw in and all and I absolutely love that idea. Blog this! Bookmark on Delicious Share [...]



Mascarpone Berry Tarts with Caramel Sauce

By • Jul 13th, 2008 • Category: Desserts

When I was in high school, my sister started working in a French cafe and for almost every night, she brought home breads, tarts, dough nuts that didn’t sell during the day. We were ecstatic of course. However, after a few weeks, the novelty wore off. Blog this! Bookmark on Delicious Share with Stumblers Share [...]
