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: Mac and Cheese
•
I wanted something to go with the peri-peri wings I made yesterday, and decided on a comfort food classic – mac and cheese. I’ve tried all sorts of recipes before, and honestly not a single one of them blew my mind, even though they were generally good. This time I based my recipe on the…

Korean Dumplings (Mandu) In Soup
•
Kak’mbang really loves her Korean TV shows, just like a large population of the world today. Every now and then she sees people on TV eating dumplings in broth, and the dish does look really yummy. So, recently she asked me to make our own pork-free version, and I based it on a great recipe by Maangchi. Trust…

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…

Mary Ryan’s Chicken Pie
•
This one has been on the back burner for a while (yes the kitchen expression was deliberate. Haha!), but I finally had all the ingredients and equipment I needed on hand. I totally underestimated how much time it would take to make these, so what was originally supposed to be last night’s dinner ended up being…

I still wanted to make something, though, and being a bread lover, I decided to make some for breakfast over the coming weekend. I decided on these rolls by Chef Wan from his book, Langkah Demi Langkah…

For Your Spice Rack: Taco Seasoning
•
I mixed this a while back, so I don’t have pictures, but this is the taco seasoning I used in the Taco Salad I made recently. You can always find the ready-made ones in grocers, but if you have the ingredients on hand, why not $ave$ome$ and make your own 🙂 To make enough just for…

•
The Dinner Club is back, and this time the theme is… Tex Mex! I decided to bring back some old favourites while trying out new recipes, so the menu was as follows: Taco Salad | Chilli Con Carne and Chilli Con Queso | Chicken Enchiladas The main dish of the night was of course the enchiladas,…

For your spice rack: Mandy spice mix
•
Am trying out Chef Ammar’s Lamb Mandy with Rice tonight, but I didn’t buy his Mandy Spice Mix when I got his Bukhari and Kabsah spice mixes the other day, so I had to make my own. I found a few seemingly highly rated recipes online, and scaled it up to make 1 cup,…

For Your Spice Rack: Baby Bam
•
I’m trying out Emeril’s Perfect Roast Chicken today, which requires this Baby Bam spice mix. Looks like this spice mix is used in quite a few more tasty looking recipes I wanted to try, so I decided it was worth the trouble to make a batch. The only spice I didn’t have on hand was the…
