There are wedding favours, and then there are ROM favours.
For the benefit of non-local readers (if any), I shall explain what ROM refers to. In the strictest sense, ROM refers to the Registry of Marriage in Singapore but we Singaporeans who are fond of abbreviating everything have taken to calling the solemnization of a marriage […]

Why “funky”, was the question The Hubby asked. Because I would like to think that these two new flavours I concocted are original and unconventional, that’s why!
The idea to use matcha (green tea powder) and cocoa powder with the fantastic biscotti recipe I obtained (from a baking class I attended) came up more than 2 weeks ago. […]

What happens on a ‘happening’ Friday night when the hubby abandons the poor wife and two dogs to go enjoy himself outside? Tit for tat? Nah… the wife finds a nice recipe which uses her favourite ingredient to occupy her time.
I googled, and found a simple and sweet recipe. There’s only a slight problem; […]

Ended up that my biscotti became such a hit with men! The Hubby loved it (to my pleasant surprise) so much he had them for breakfast when I initially packed 5 slices for his supper at work, C’s husband loved it, and same goes for her colleague who was there for the movie night too.
Having received much […]

It’s the end of the work week, and a bunch of gal friends and I decided to chill it out at C’s house, sort of a Girls’ Night Out but instead of that, we are having a Ladies’ Movie Night In (well, I can’t exactly use the word girls when most of us are either […]

Biscotti are traditionally dry and crisp Italian cookies, and when loosely translated, means “twice baked” owing to the fact that they are usually baked twice. Different regions in Italy have also developed their unique ways of flavouring or consuming these endearing cookies.
Finding good and value-for-money biscotti in Italy is not an issue at all, but once you step out […]

Attended yet another of Joycelyn Shu’s workshop at Shermay’s. If you have been visiting Joycelyn’s blog, you would have read about her laborious undertakings to perfect the ‘jewel-like confections’, which she confesses to have quite a fixation on.
I myself missed quite a few perfect opportunities to taste these legendary cookie sandwiches made by some of the world’s best acclaimed pâtisseries […]

The Hubby couldn’t wait for me to use some of the cute Disney cookie moulds I acquired recently, so he requested for some cookies to bring to work. And as usual, I happily obliged; I’m usually more than happy to do some baking (when I’m not busy with other things, that is) so long as food […]

Proust’s childhood memories with a twist!
I’ve always been more of a tea person rather than a coffee person. As a matter of fact, I don’t drink coffee at all and I always marvel at how some people around me are able to down cup after cup of coffee to stay awake. Of the many tea flavours […]

This is another cookie recipe which I didn’t bake recently. About a year ago, I baked these cookies several times trying to achieve the most perfect cheesecake cookies, but somehow they always become sticky soon after being left at room temperature. Other than that one complaint, I really like this recipe which I found at […]
