Ricotta & Rocket Gnocchi in Tomato Sauce & Bacon

By • Oct 27th, 2011 • Category: What's Cooking

So, Miss B. is on a three-week gluten-free diet. But before I go on, I digress by saying, the blender blew up. There was a really loud POP! and the only way I knew it wasn’t the bacon fat sizzling was the gradual smoke snaking from the blender. I hope my FIL isn’t too attached [...]



Eggplant & Mushroom Cannelloni

By • Oct 11th, 2011 • Category: What's Cooking

Hooray! I get to use my new swanky Svenskt Tenn place mat. I have been in love with Svenskt Tenn since I interviewed them for an article back in 2008. Everything is so marvelously stylish at Svenskt Tenn and, of course, as all brilliant things do, they come with a generous price tag. I have [...]



Quinoa with Tuna & Potato Tagine

By • Feb 24th, 2011 • Category: What's Cooking

There’s this little craze going on in Australia now about quinoa. Every now and then, there’s a new ingredient that everyone’s curious about – a fruit, a vegetable, a grain. I guess that’s what I love about living here (well, now that I’m in Sweden, I have to say, ‘there’). There’s always some great, big [...]



Guest Post: Zucchini pancakes

By • Aug 5th, 2010 • Category: Guest Writers/ Etsy Sellers

It’s hot here in Malaysia and I’m just getting used to being sticky and smelly. I’m sitting in my childhood room, with me and my laptop on the bed feeling a little chillied out. It’s only my second day home but my tummy is already suffering a slight burn. I forget how much of the [...]



Taro Cake

By • Jul 7th, 2010 • Category: From My Mother's Kitchen

Making taro cake reminds me of when the women-folk in my family come together and chatter. My grandmother would be there, along with my mother’s sisters, and together they would do whatever women do best in a group – gossip. Someone would always bring up the past, and they would reminiscent of good and tough [...]

Now that wedding fever is over, I’m stuck with a cold. A bothersome. Flu-ey. Cold. Maybe my body is trying to tell me something. Blog this!

Vegetarian Basil Fritata with Blood Orange Salad

By • Sep 8th, 2008 • Category: What's Cooking

I always thought fritata to be a funny name for an omelet. It’s a bit fancy. To me, it’s a big beautiful delicious omelet filled with anything you can imagine. I read up on Wikipedia that the fritatas in Naples has spaghetti or other other pastas leftover from last night dinners along with sauce. How [...]



Vegetarian Quiche

By • Aug 20th, 2008 • Category: What's Cooking

I love quiche. But the fact is I’d only had my first slice last year (yes, I know, how embarrassing). It hasn’t been too long a love affair. Another important fact about quiches: it’s easy peasy Japanesy – to make and to eat. You can use ready made shortcrust pastry or make your own which [...]
