The August 2010 Daring Cooks’ Challenge was hosted by LizG of Bits n’ Bites and Anula of Anula’s Kitchen. They chose to challenge Daring Cooks to make pierogi from scratch and an optional challenge to provide one filling that best represents (read full article)
I came across this "oleh bread" recipe at Sonia's blog. The word "oleh" is her direct translation from its Chinese name "欧蕾". I later found out that "欧蕾" is a direct translation of "au lait" which means "with milk" in French. Anyway, I bookma (read full article)
Here's another simple and delicious recipe made with canned stuff. When I went back to Malaysia in April, I got more canned food from my mum. Luxurious and expensive canned goodies she got during Chinese New Year to be exact. Although my mum has 3 ki (read full article)
I've been eating lots of broad beans recently at restaurants but have never cooked them myself, so I thought I'd give it a go. I decided to toss them with some couscous and serve with the spiced roast lamb I made. The beans reminded me of edamame be (read full article)
It is summer but our oven has been working more than it should be. And in fact, more than the winter months. I'm not a huge fan of salads or cold noodles, I prefer my meals hot - stews and braises..YUM. Standing over the stove cooking in the kitchen (read full article)
Do you bother cooking for yourself if you are home alone? Because I don't. I usually eat whatever I can find in the kitchen but very often cereal or 3-in-1 Milo. The only thing that I'd cook for myself is oats. Oats with matcha, agave nectar and a t (read full article)
Every now and then, the wild boar works during the night, which means he works 8-8 (pm-am) for a week. He usually arrives home at 9 am after work, and sleeps from about 10 am to 6 pm. I love this night shift system because I get the whole bed to myse (read full article)
Butterflying or spatchcocking is my current preferred method of preparing a whole chicken for roasting or grilling. It involves removing the backbone and keel bone of the bird then flattening out the bird before cooking. I find that the chicken cooks (read full article)
My grandmother used to cook this a lot which kind of explains why I was once a 65 kg KID! Bear in mind that I'm currently only 158 cm...so...Anyway, this dish involves deep frying pork belly and then braising the fried meat with black fungus. My gran (read full article)
Sad to say that I've used my my last batch of homemade gnocchi. I actually planned to serve this with a tomato-based meat sauce but since asparagus is in abundance now and it's Summer, I decided to make some light and more refreshing. Ingredients: (read full article)
I bookmarked this recipe straightaway when I saw the picture at Foodess. The pile of gnocchi has nice really nice golden hue to it, how can anyone resist that greasy shine on food?! The sauce is really simple yet full of wonderful flavours. The brown (read full article)
I never knew homemade gnocchi could be this good! When I told the wild boar I was going to make gnocchi, he made this really sour face at me. He's not a huge fan of gnocchi as accoding to him, they are "starchy, stodgy, and heavy". But after eating (read full article)

Our hostesses this month, Evelyne of Cheap Ethnic Eatz, and Valerie of a The Chocolate Bunny, chose delicious pate with freshly baked bread as their June Daring Cook’s challenge! They’ve provided us with 4 different pate recipes to choose from an (read full article)
I love pairing daikon and meat in braised dishes. Daikon adds such a nice distinct flavour which complements the meat really well. It also acts like a sponge which soaks up all the delicious sauce. So, to carry on the Japanese food craze here, I've m (read full article)
This has been on my to-cook list for years! Firstly, the original recipe calls for brined ham hock end, which I've never seen before at my local grocer. Then it requires 2 cups of brown sugar for the crust. 2 cups??!! But the idea of a huge chunk of (read full article)
Kenny, I used it to fry rice too! Apart from eating olive vegetable with rice porridge and using it in stir-fries (especially with long beans), fried rice is another popular recipe. Fried rice is comfort food and I cook it at least once a week. It's (read full article)
I was introduced to Chinese olive vegetable 橄榄菜 in my recent trip to Hong Kong. They served it as a porridge accompaniment and was also used in a French bean and minced pork stir-fry dish. It is extremely tasty and has very strong taste and aro (read full article)
I love my iphone! There's just so much you can do with it and there's always something new. I recently found out that you can actually order food with your iphone! Wagamama sent me a press release regarding their recent launch of UK's first food-ord (read full article)
I'm not a huge fan of tofu. The only tofu I enjoy eating is Japanese egg tofu 玉子豆腐. It is smooth, creamy and eggy, a bit like undersalted chawan mushi. Other tofu like Silken tofu, however, has a really weird aftertaste and so I often cover t (read full article)
