Nutella Madeleines

Nutella Madeleines by Li

Madeleines! Whenever I hear them mentioned I automatically think of Proust and his infamous madeleine-memory passage in Swann's Way. Please don't tell me I'm the only literature geek here.Whenever I return to Hong Kong (or, really, anywhere) I usually come back with some new baking knickknack or the other. This time was no different…

Candied Sesame Walnuts & Snapshots of my Hometown

Candied Sesame Walnuts & Snapshots of my Hometown by Li

It's been a while (again)! But I have a better excuse this time; I've been away to my hometown Hong Kong (again) over my uni break and in going to the opposite hemisphere I left my blogging duties behind (yes, again). It isn't that I haven't been baking, either - I made a total of three cakes in three weeks of which I only took photos…

Pecan Tassies

Pecan Tassies by Li

I have an attention span problem, particularly when it comes to baking. I can't seem to remake a recipe twice most of the time (there are, of course, exceptions). Once I make a recipe, I taste it, I photograph it, I share it, and then I store it away and move on past it to the next recipe. I can get irritated if I have to remake a…

Orange Ginger Marmalade Crostata {Daring Bakers}

Orange Ginger Marmalade Crostata {Daring Bakers} by Li

There's been this little monster of guilt gnawing away at that all-things-baking-related part of my mind telling me that I've been failing miserably at completing my role as part of the Daring Bakers. It wasn't until I looked back on my posts that I realized I'd missed the last three challenges. Uh, whoops. So I went and gathered…

Yogurt Pot Cake

Yogurt Pot Cake by Li

It's starting to get cold here in Sydney. Cold and wet, and then cold and sunny. It poured with rain for half of yesterday before the sky decided to somewhat reluctantly let the sun come through. Literally hot and cold. I hate it.There are two things to do on a rainy day. 1) Watch TV and 2) make a cake. If you're anything like me then…

Coconut Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies

Coconut Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies by Li

It occurred to me as I was looking through my previous posts that I haven't posted a cookie recipe for a month. One whole month. This might be a record.I was left with a jar of half finished coconut oil when I made the raw cheesecake in my last post, so that left me with half a jar and over a dozen recipes that I had favorited a while…

Raw Cheesecake

Raw Cheesecake by Li

I have never understood this whole 'raw foods' trend. Suddenly everything's being converted into what is essentially its 'healthified' version - vegan, gluten free, sugar free and raw. It's been everywhere lately in the form of cookies, bars and even brownies. And while a part of me thinks it's great to focus on using natural, pure…

Jaffa Muffins

Jaffa Muffins by Li

I don't know about you, but I love discovering new kinds of food through books. Literature has a way of making you look at food differently. In the particular case of jaffa cakes, I discovered their existence when I was about eleven through a book I was reading at the time which unfortunately I can't remember the name of - the…

Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread

Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread by Li

Afternoon tea is a tradition that's been ingrained in me since primary school. At least one afternoon each week, my mother would pick me up and we would go to McDonald's for a teatime treat of french fries, cokes and cheeseburgers (the stuff every kid dreams of). I'm not even kidding; I visited Maccas so often as a kid I managed to…
