My Kitchen LabMonday, 6 September 2010In between my bread baking frenzy, I was pretty much involved in conducting experiments with chiffon cakes. It is a cinch to make a chiffon cake...everything can be done within 30mins, and that includes cleaning up.

Breakfast ChiffonWednesday, 18 August 2010For the past week, I have been reading up every night, on how to make chiffon cakes without using any leavening agent. In the past, all my chiffon cakes were made with either baking powder or self-raising flour. I have copied several recipes from this chiffon cookbook '戚风蛋糕秘法传授' which I borrowed from a close… |

Matcha Swirl BreadThe first thing I wanted to bake with my fresh tin of matcha, green tea powder, is none other than a loaf of bread. Having tried both tangzhong or water-roux (汤种法) and scalded-dough (烫种法) methods to make bread, this time I returned to my usual straight-dough method (直接法).The straight dough method is as straight forward as it is. There… |

for the love of sconesWednesday, 25 August 2010Although it is something very simple to throw together a batch of scones, if you over look some details, you may end up with a tray of hard, flat, bread-like buns instead. That happened to me on my maiden attempt (^^")I have made enough mistakes (at least 3 failed attempts) before my oven could churn out a… |

把点点心意装进一盒饼干里I got down to made a batch of Cranberry Walnut Oatmeal cookies yesterday morning after I heard the evening before, that my DG will be able to meet up with my DH overseas today.

What's your reason?I believe there is always a reason behind an action. Even a no reason is a reason itself.There is always a reason (and sometimes several reasons) why I choose to bake something...be it cakes, cookies or just a simple loaf of bread. Sometimes my reasons could be quite frivolousness (^^'). I could have bought a new set of muffin cups or… |

Afternoon TeaI don't usually have afternoon tea. My kids do.That's because I live my life around my kids' schedule. We have late lunches and early dinners. They won't be home from school before 1.30pm and we have to have dinner before 7 in the evening as bedtime is just a couple of hours away. As a result, I don't have any desire for food in the… |
