Following up my shortcrust pastry recipe with this Peanut Butter Banana Pie recipe. It’s a bit embarrassing how easy this pie is to make, it doesn’t even have a proper recipe. This left me wondering if it deserved a separate blog, but one look at that peanut butter banana pie, you know it deserves everything. […]
This sweet shortcrust recipe is the only recipe you will ever need for making any pastry dessert. It is so versatile, there are just endless things you could make with it. Desserts, pies, cookies, all taken care of. Simple, easy and of course, I had to throw in a cheat’s way of making it. Busy […]
When I had my first bite of red velvet cake, I must have been well in my 20’s. So unfair that I spent the first 20 odd years never having known about this gorgeous cake, especially when I probably had better metabolism to burn off all those calories. I won’t lie, Red velvet cake is […]
What is it about a semolina yoghurt cake that makes it sound exotic at the very mention of it? I set my heart on this semolina cake the minute I lay my eyes on this simple recipe. If you read my earlier post on Baklava, you are aware of my new found love for rose […]

Baklava is a simple and easy dessert to make. Now repeat that as many times as it takes for you to believe it. I’m telling you that because no one ever told me. For the longest time, I always thought Baklava was a complicated dessert to make, one best left for trained chefs to try. […]
Everybody needs a simple recipe for chocolate cake. There are so many kinds of chocolate cakes that it’s almost impossible to find a simple one that is basic and one that uses readily available pantry ingredients. It’s true. I looked through my ginormous collection of baking books trying to find the recipe to a simple […]
Father’s day is coming up this weekend. I thought hard about what I could bake for Father’s Day. I wonder why, but almost instantly, this beer cake popped up in my head. Dad of the house does love his beer, maybe that’s why. Also, this is a recipe I’ve tried so many times. Having changed […]
There’s something so charming about having cake at tea time. Although I’m a “tea”totaller, I love tea time with all my conviction. Freshly brewed tea sitting in a kettle, warm cake slices lying beside, and a good conversation to accompany, sound like an evening well spent.
