Epicurean nirvana at Momofuku Seiobo
A few weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to be part of a group who had gained a coveted reservation at the rather exclusive and exquisite Momofuku Seiobo, David Chang’s restaurant in Sydney. I’ve been to his noodle bar and Milk Bar in NYC and absolutely love his rock star chef style of Asian fusion … Continue reading
Salted chocolate chip oatmeal cookies
So yes I make cookies all the time (really…at least 1-2 times per week), but it’s been a long time since I’ve posted about the good old chocolate chip cookie. Like the brownie, the chocolate chip cookie is just one of those items that is a baker’s delight to play with since so many varieties … Continue reading
Curried lentil burgers
Ok, so this post is healthy looking enough to be fairly controversial and potentially make you not want to try them, but I beg you to at least consider it if you are looking for a vegetarian burger type option. I actually don’t like lentils that much at all but absolutely loved them in this … Continue reading
Casual Italian at Jamie’s
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of going to Jaimie’s Italian with a large group of ladies. Practically everyone has heard of Jaimie Oliver and as the result of being a celebrity chef, his restaurant in Sydney is literally full to bursting at all hours. Even though the place has been open for … Continue reading
Brownies with dried cranberries
How many brownie recipes can one actually have? If you’re me, a lot. A brownie recipe was one of the first things I posted on this blog, but even when I have a good one, I am always looking for more. This one is great because it combines both dark chocolate and cocoa powder for … Continue reading
Coconut bread
I’ve noticed that when I don’t do chocolate desserts, they tend to have some coconut in them. I never used to like coconut but I’ve developed quite the taste for it particularly since coming to Australia and also after spending a fair amount of time in Southeast Asia. At Australian cafes, you can get coconut … Continue reading
Browned butter chocolate oat bars
It is officially my blog’s first year anniversary! I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since I started this blog and that I’ve actually been able to keep up with it. Thanks so much to all of you who take the time to read the entries – I really am so flattered that my … Continue reading
Roasted vegetable soup
Due to a lot of socialising (which normally entails eating out and drinks) recently, by the end of every weekend I typically find myself desperately in need of a healthy Sunday night meal that will have leftovers for lunches throughout the week. Given that it’s “cold” here right now, meaning Boston spring weather, I have … Continue reading
Best blueberry muffins
I love a good muffin, and since I’ve gotten a really versatile mini muffin silicone pan, I enjoy looking for new muffin recipes to make in it whenever I can. Like a good brownie or chocolate chip cookie, I think a classic blueberry muffin recipe is a must for anyone’s baking arsenal. I’ve made quite … Continue reading
Sunday feast at Ms. G’s
I’ve kept this blog for a while now and figured it was about time I post about one of my absolute favourite restaurants in Sydney: Ms. G’s. It’s one of the few restaurants in Sydney that I’ve gone back to again and again, and an automatic recommendation when friends visit. They have an incredibly innovative … Continue reading
