Who doesn’t love Milo right?
I remember as a kid coming home from school, and, the first think I would do, would be to grab the milk out of the fridge. I’d add a couple of scoops of milo and stir the cold milk through, for a mug full of goodness!
For us adults, this treat [...]

Apologies for the not-so-great photo, it’s taken with my iphone!  This recipe was thrown together after wanting to make some quick coconut roti-type pikelets to have with my curry and I have to say these are a great little treat!  They are a little softer than your normal pancake mixture and absolutely-must be dried through [...]

These little biscuits are an attempt to make the accompaniment to Cumquat Tea at Fo Guan Yuan Art Gallery.  It’s really not much like it but I have to say, it’s a great alternative!

Who can’t resist waking up to crusty bread, spread with butter and fresh marmalade?
I guess when you’re a child, it’s not very appealing but for those a little older it’s [...]

I love Saturday mornings! It’s the only morning that I can get up and make some pancakes or crumpets, indulging after a long hard week!
Crumpets have been somewhat of a tradition in our family. My grandmother always made special crumpets to have with our curries. Two of her crumpets were enough [...]

I rarely make sweet recipes. It’s not that I can’t do it, but I find it messy and too much cleaning up afterwards. Lately though, I’ve come up with some easier ways to reduce the mess. I’m sure these aren’t new methods at all, but they certainly are new to me!
