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 experimenting with my air fryer. This is a piece of pork belly with perfect crackling.
It is a simple recipe and method. After an overnight marinating, the cooking time is 45 minutes. The result is delicious.

I have been experimenting with Air Fryer Cooking. This is my first attempt at a roast chicken breast. It is stuffed with cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, spinach, onions, chopped mushroom, spices then wrapped in bacon strips.
From assembly to finish it took 30 minutes and it was tasty and very juicy.

Basque Cheesecake

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.

Honey and Mustard chicken with crispy carrot and snow peas and pan roasted potatoes.

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.
