Chocolate cloud cake

20 January 2012

I was leafing through my favourite cookbook, “Classic Home Desserts” by Richard Sax (thank you !)  trying to look for a recipe with chocolates.   Found the recipe “Chocolate cloud cake” and since it sounds simple to prepare, no flour (means no measuring and no sieving),  ...

Tuna and egg in puff pastry

04 January 2012

This is another quick meal you can prepare, provided you have ready-rolled puff pastry in the freezer.  Thaw the frozen pastry about 1 hour before using.   The topping variety is endless, here I am using a can of tuna, fried with onions and eggs. The ingredients: 2 or 3 sheets of ready-rolled ...

Strawberry cheese cake

08 December 2011

This is a very simple no-bake cheesecake.  The base is made of crushed biscuits – you can use digestive biscuit, oreo, cream cracker, marie etc.   Melted butter is added to bind the crush biscuit and then baked to make it crispier.  This strawberry cheesecake to me, taste more like a ...

Mini pavlovas

01 December 2011

Apple pudding

18 November 2011

Another very easy dessert to make at home using apples or pear.  Looking at the ingredients,  I thought it would taste like pancake.  But because it is rich with eggs, it turned out tasting like Cream Caramel with apples !  Super-easy to do, you won’t even need a mixer to whip up this ...

Apple crumble

08 November 2011

This is one of the easiest dessert to make.   The only boring process to endure is peeling and slicing the apples.  The rest can be done in just a few minutes.   I made this Apple crumble last nite and totally forgot to take a picture before devouring it.  But at least we get to see ...

Pumpkin custard

12 October 2011

This is one of my favourite dessert when eating at any Thai restaurant.  Tried making it the other day,  had to write it down in this blog, even though it does not involve any baking (just steaming) .  The Thai pumpkin custard is quite easy to make, actually.  Here’s the recipe : 1 small ...
