	Marbled Chocolate Castella Cake by Li It's been a bit difficult finding inspiration lately. My mind's kind of been bouncing off everywhere and not really focusing in anything. I've been baking, but only tried and true recipes that I've made before. I hadn't tried anything new for a while.Thankfully, I finally have something new to share! This is a Castella cake. It's been…	1 vote 487 views
	An Ode to the Egg Tart by Li Anyone remember their wisdom teeth extractions? I had a rather fun start to the week pulling one of mine, which had decided it would prefer to grow horizontally rather than vertically. So now one side of my face is swollen to the point where it looks square. The best bit? I get to do this all over again at some point later in my…	0 votes 486 views
	Panettone {Daring Bakers} by Li [The December 2012 Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by the talented Marcellina of Marcellina in Cucina. Marcellina challenged us to create our own custom Panettone, a traditional Italian holiday bread! Thanks Marcellina for a great challenge!]Hello, hello, hello! I'm back to blogging with a big backlog of posts to catch up on.…	0 votes 267 views
	No-Bake Date Pecan Cranberry Bars by Li Up until a few years ago, I didn't like dates. As a kid, I would think of them as giant raisins, a cousin to prunes, and that alone was enough to put me off. But it's true that as you grow up and grow older, your taste buds change, foods that tasted horrible before may undergo a miraculous transformation on your tongue and you find…	0 votes 332 views
	Strawberry and Cream Biscuits by Li I went to Orange last weekend on a road trip which, while woefully lacking the presence of real oranges, did have plenty of beautiful fall colored trees in various shades of orange, brown and red. It's known as the 'color city' and you can see why.Orange is packed full of natural produce. There is an abundance of farms, vineyards and…	1 vote 325 views
	4-Ingredient Nutella Cookies by Li It's Monday again. It just insists on rolling around every six days, doesn't it? I've been fortunate enough to be on a two week break from classes, but as it's Monday, it means it has officially ended. It's sad news, people.Luckily I've got something to give you that isn't so sad. Right the opposite. Especially if you love nutella -…	1 vote 362 views
	Sticky Banana, Walnut and Date Bread by Li Where oh where has September gone?My blog now has abandonment issues. The last few weeks have been crazy, but if you asked I actually wouldn't be able to pinpoint exactly why. Just a combination of work, multiple uni assignments and admittedly a little loss of my blogging mojo. It wasn't until I flicked back to my earlier posts that I…	1 vote 486 views
	Black Russian Cake by Li I was scouring the internet for quotes on chocolate cake to start off this post (oh, the life of a food blogger) and I came across this:"He showed the words "chocolate cake" to a group of Americans and recorded their word associations. "Guilt" was the top response. If that strikes you as unexceptional, consider the response of the…	0 votes 752 views
	Oats 'N Honey Bars by Li Here's something I've observed in the past week: there has been a sudden new found popularity of scooters.Yes, scooters. The last time I remember riding one was when I was in year 5. And now, all of a sudden, I see adults and kids alike rolling away on their scooters down the street. I can't decide whether it's the businessman I saw…	0 votes 314 views
	Peanut Butter Banana Bread by Li I love quick breads. Most markedly because of the pointed word quick. I love that you can whisk together the dry ingredients in a bowl, mash around the wet ingredients in another, combine them, dump the whole lot in a loaf tin and you're good to go. Like muffins, but even lazier.For me, banana bread is like the queen of the quick…	0 votes 386 views
