Proust’s childhood memories with a twist!

The first time I saw the picture of these cute brownie buttons on page 107 of Baking From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan, I knew I have to try making these petite cookies when I have the time to. Trying this recipe, however, wasn’t on my priority list - I planned to bake […]

So The Hubby chose to have chocolate brownies over the rest of the recipes in Donna Hay’s Modern Classics Book 2, which can be found in Kinokuniya. The recipe can be found on page 18 of the book, if you are interested.

My birthday gift from The Hubby finally arrived today. Well, not exactly… since the postman did come to our doorstep to deliver the parcel on Saturday when no one was home.
