Weekend Cooking: Khaliat Nahal (Beehive)
•
To me, cooking is a way to destress after a long week slogging at the office. Making bread, however, is what I find most enjoyable. When a bread recipe appeared in Saudi Food Eman’s Facebook feed, I knew I had to try it ASAP. I mean, bread stuffed with cream cheese and drizzled with syrup?…

Weekend Cooking: Roti Golok
•
I saw this recipe on Facebook some time back. Apparently it was something that was going viral here in Malaysia. Looking through the ingredients it did seem quite yummy, so I started writing this post, with some small adjustments and notes. It took me two tries to get this right, using my trusty old…

Weekend Cooking: Breakfast Biscuits
•
For the Breakfast Mac and Cheese I needed a quick and simple breakfast biscuit recipe, because I just wasn’t willing to fork out 20-plus ringgit to buy the frozen ones from some upmarket grocer. There are probably other better recipes out there, but this one gets the job done. I find rolling out the…

Make Your Own: Basic Pan Pizza Base
•
When making my Pull-apart Stuffing Rolls, I originally just wanted to use ready-made pizza dough, and bought some from the store. I thought nothing of it, but when I finally took the dough out from the fridge, to my horror the stuff I bought turned out to be pre-baked pizza crust, and was therefore…

GobbleFest 2016: Pull-apart Stuffing Rolls

When having roast turkey, one usually would have it with stuffing. Even though I butterfly my turkey and therefore there’s nothing I can stuff my stuffing into, I usually would still make stuffing on the side. So far I haven’t found any stuffing recipe that Rudy actually liked, and dinner wouldn’t be complete without dinner…

GobbleFest 2015: Brown Butter Cornbread
•
When putting together the menu for this year’s GobbleFest, I asked the Round Knights for suggestions and Azuan pointed out that we were missing a bakery item. Serious Eats had already put together an amazing classic Thanksgiving menu, and this cornbread recipe was on the list, so I decided to try it out. I’ve tried other cornbread…

Dinner Club: Parker House Rolls
•
For last night’s Dinner Club session, I needed a few good sides to serve with my roast lamb shoulder, and while surfing around the Net I came upon this site which lists out some really good side dish suggestions. Who can resist good dinner rolls, let alone rolls completely coated in butter before baking. I just had…

Bread Maker Recipe: Banana and Cinnamon Tea Bread
•
So we forgot that we had a bunch of delicious pisang emas sitting in the fridge, and when they were finally discovered yesterday they were already beginning to turn black. So, before they became completely inedible, and since I was having the Round Knights over for dinner tonight anyway, I decided to make banana bread. I used my…

Weekend Cooking: Sweet Honey Cornbread
•
I was writing a draft of a different recipe I planned on making soon, and when looking for tips for making good cornbread, I stumbled upon this simple but yummy looking recipe on NotJustBaked.com. I’ve tried several different cornbread recipes before and didn’t find one that I particularly liked, but this one was amazing. Despite using…
