Hi folks I was born in Singapore but moved to Australia when I was young. I’ve lived here for 50 years but I still crave the ‘home food’. It’s not always easy to get here and the authenticity is usually compromised.

I have been practicing making cookies for Christmas. These are Chocolate Crinkle Cookies. Easy to make and delicious.

I recently made Sugee Cake, classically an Eurasian staple. It was my father’s favourite cake. I was thrilled that it turned out well.

…..another one from this month. Seed covered baguette

…..more bread from this month

Hello everyone I have spent this month learning how to make bread. It is so rewarding and relaxing. The homemade bread is much tastier and has a better texture than commercial bread. Plus it is so much cheaper. I have many photos but I can only post one, it seems. That one is a cheesy garlic bread.

Chocolate cheesecake. It’s a huge cake and very rich. If you make this you should do it for a Lethe crowd otherwise you will have leftovers in your fridge for a fortnight!

This month I have been experimenting with all kinds of bread and focaccia.
I’m following a YouTube channel called Fast Easy Delicious. All the recipes are wonderful and foolproof.

German Chocolate Cake
This cake is VERY rich but delicious. It’s definitely for special occasions and a large group of people because a small slice is quite enough.

A simple Flan for dessert.

I wish it was more exciting but it’s Mongolian Beef tonight! A family favourite.

Artisan Bread. I have been experimenting with making Artisan bread. The photo is a loaf of bread with cheese and I added sun-dried tomatoes and olives. It worked out well. It will feed a whole family and is great in the dinner table.

Wat Tan Hor Fun is a family favourite. I’ve made it with a different recipe this time. The measurements for the ingredients are much better.

Drunken noodles with Beef and Prawns. I used a recipe but I added a lot more vegetables. Delicious.
