Remember I have a talented contributor who is a baking goddess? She is back with another popular cookie recipe (previously, she shared the recipe of cornflakes cookies)—the all-time favorite chocolate chip cookies. I have to admit that I am not the biggest fan of chocolate (I know!) but I love chocolate chip cookie because it has the the benefit of…
After a few savory dishes, I thought it’s time I share a Chinese New Year baking recipe with you. Chinese New Year calls for major baking and kuih (local sweet cakes) making sessions in Malaysia. The popular items are pineapple tarts or pineapple rolls, kuih kapit (check out the step-by-step in pictures!), kuih bangkit, kuih bahulu, peanut cookies, kuih loyang/kuih…
I am a Costco (a wholesale mega store in the US) junkie. I love shopping there and one of the items I often purchase from Costco is madeleine—an adorable shell-shaped French cake/cookie well loved by many. Even though I love madeleine, I have never attempted to bake them at home. First of all, I am not a great baker and…
How time flies. It was just like yesterday when the world was gearing up for Y2K bug and the potential millennium meltdown; fast forward 10 years, we are counting down to 2010, and 45 days left on 2009. It’s almost that time of year again…(get butter cookies recipe after the jump)
Ever since I set eyes on Annie’s marble cake post, the image of her rich, buttery, chocolaty marble cake has made quite an impression on me. Annie is a superb baker and she once shared her aunt’s butter cake recipe with me that had me oooh and ahhh for the delicious great taste. I know her marble cake recipe will…
I am a bad passenger, airlines don’t like me. I am a magazine hog who snatches every in-flight magazine, pile them up in my seat, never return them back to the rack, and then I rip off interesting pages on these magazines. (Oops, did I just confess my dirty secrets?!) Yes, I am one of those passengers that flight attendants…
Here in California, we are lucky to have berries all year round, even though they are not in season. Last weekend, I got a box of fresh blackberries from Costco and baked a batch of these beautiful looking blackberry muffins. Blackberry is a great source of antioxidant–in fact, the highest of all accordingly to this article—meaning you’re more likely to…
On my recent flight back from Asia, I read a very interesting article about 10 superfoods that one should integrate into the daily diet: garlic, tofu, mushrooms, blueberries, kale, flaxseed, beans, carrots, tomatoes, and strawberries. These foods are referred to as “immune boosters” by the author, a MD and medical director of a cancer treatment center. Earlier this year, I…
These pineapple tarts need no introduction. I had previously blogged and raved about pineapple tarts when I first tried out Novice Baker‘s pineapple tarts recipe. This time, my pineapple tarts come in a different—but smaller—shape. They are still crumbly, buttery, and addictive. Once you pop one in your mouth, you just can’t stop and want more… (Click Page 2 for…
There is something very comforting about baking on a Sunday afternoon. First of all, the smell of baking perfumes my whole house with sweet and buttery aromas; secondly, there is no better way to beat my Monday blues than with homemade baked goods and start off the busy work week on the right foot. So, that was exactly what I…
A dream comes true. I met Anthony Bourdain of No Reservations, who was shooting an episode in Penang. More people will discover Penang soon!
