All in One

I've been in a lazy mode to update the blog at the moment while I never fail to feel like baking ! Instead of posting one by one , I kind of mix them up and make it in one go !

Starting with the imperfect banana fosters crumb cake...












Then show you the better piece of work.. a peculiar version of double chocolate danish !














And a simple, yet tasteful cashew gateau with green tea mousse cake..













Here is last but not least.. a fabulous chocolate and oat crunchy bar !













Please check up for more details from here...

Oatmeal Rum Raisin Cookie Bars

Oatmeal is good...raisin is good..rum ??..oh even better!!..so these bars are a combination of my favorite things..


The original recipe from Nicole of bakingbites doesn't have rum in it..but I added some to jazz it up and the result didn't let me down !













Thanks Nicole for such a good recipe..and if you find it interesting,please click here to find out more details..

Best Drop Biscuits

This is not the first time I've made these biscuits..and there are more than one source that i've seen it posted on ! I firstly saw it on Joe's site (culinary in the desert) a while ago and I gave it a try twice..but I didn't manage to get a clumpy butter and buttermilk mixture as stated in the recipe both time( the tastes were still great though) so I just left it unrevised...and went ahaed to try something else !


Then recently I saw it again on everybody likes sandwiches which got a link to the site that shows some photos of the method and I then found out how the clum in the buttermilk mixture is supposed to be..and I decided to have a go..for the third time!!


It's flawlessly done this time...I gave some away for a party hosted by a friend of mine, people ate and said it's like KFC's...wow wow wow...I took it seriously as a success ! lol..

Chorizo & pork belly with haricot beans

This is absolutely not what you'd like if you are a weight watcher..Fortunately, noone in my household falls into that catagory !

Tahinli

It's been a long while since the last time I got my blog updated on the blogger !! I've ,in fact, made numbers of baked goods but I just didn't bother to get it published here...only have done it on my other blog where I was settled down to begin with.


Now, it's time to be back and it's nice to begin with something excellent which I've found on this site ( thank burekaboy for the fabulous recipe !). The look of this bread really got my attention , besides its ingredients like tahini or orange flower water that are totally new to me!!


Only one thing I didn't follow the original recipe is to omit mahlep.. it's not that I really wanted to but I couldn't manage to find it anywhere in HK ( within a short timing!)..


Speaking of the outcome, it's peculiarly nice to me and I am , no doubt, very pleased with what I've got ! If you are a fan of sesame seed..this is something you shouldn't miss out!!

Macadamia Caramel Squares

Tiger Woods won the US. Open Championship...I, as a big fan of him, needed to do something to celebrate on his victory !! And this is all for you, my dear..lol

Creamy Gruyère and Shrimp Pasta

I would normally cook a meal when there is a recipe that I am interested in and would like giving it a try and/or on a long weekend that my helper is not around to cook us meals..

As a homemade-food lover, my husband always enjoy eating and is happy with whatever I would cook for him..no matter how good or bad my cooking turns out ! The original recipe is made for 6 servings , so I halved the recipe... And the result is that my daughter had about 6-7 pieces of penne and few shrimps and I had about a teaspoon of it to taste while cooking..the rest was gone into my husband's tummy !! Well..I therefore allow myself to think that it's such a nice dish...lol


I've got the recipe from here but I used penne instead of orecchiette..

Orange Slices

Between orange and lemon which both are citrus , I, who doesn't fancy a sourness, personally always think that orange is better than lemon/lime at any rate !! And when it comes to baking, I, of course, give orange a priority..


I came accross the recipe from repicezaar and after looking through it..I knew immediately what to do with that out-of-date-to-be orange in my fruit tray!!

Flowery Buttery Sweet Buns

I like the looks of this bun which is made into a flowery shape.. and that's the only reason why I gave it a try !


As for the result, even my shaping skill is far too bad (to be compared with the original ) but the taste ,please believe me, is much much better than the looks.. lol
