Almond jam cookies

When I was a child, I always loved the little jam tarts that you could buy in the cookies section of the supermarket. Small, crumbly with very jammy jam, I could never manage more than 2 or 3 due to the intense sweetness, but I enjoyed every bite.I got this recipe from a book that [...]

Peanut butter and choc chip cookies

One of my earliest and fondest memories of being in the kitchen is of when I was barely tall enough to reach the counter top in the kitchen, and I had to sit on the counter in order to help my mom. She used to bake these wonderful peanut butter cookies which were light and [...]

Quick mix pikelets

I love pancakes – their light, delicate texture, warm out of the pan drizzled with maple syrup and topped with fresh fruit, they make a completely decadant breakfast. Unfortunately, the only people who eat pancakes/pikelets/crepes in my house are myself and my brother, so I don’t make them very often. They’re not fancy, there’s no [...]

Beware the dinner guests when you have chicken

Mom ended up having a tiny dinner party tonight with a few of her friends, in celebration of Mother’s Day tomorrow and their mothers all being in South Korea or having passed on. Now, whilst I love nearly all of my mother’s cooking, some dishes are a bit of a headache to eat – tonight’s [...]

Janet’s sauce

Okay, before I forget, I have to document this sauce. Originally invented by A’s grandmother, it was perfected by his step-dad to the version which exists today. Believe me when I say this sauce will beat ANYTHING you can buy on a shelf. Sure, it’s tedious and time-consuming, but when you pour it over a [...]

Relief!

I spoke to my supervisor for my Media Project at uni today, and she has said that this blog (along with other documentation which I won’t go into here) will qualify as my project? You know what this means, right? It means I can say that cooking is my STUDY! HAH! I may never make [...]

Madeline & Me

So, there is a special someone that I need to impress with bakery/cookery prowess tomorrow. No, not the boyfriend as I’m not seeing him till majority of my assignments have been handed in as I don’t have the time for a social life right now. Sigh. At any rate, I got home at 7:30pm, soggy [...]

Easy Peasy Sweet & Sour Chicken

Got home from uni at 1pm and was starved, so I wanted something warm, comforting and filling. Not including time taken to prepare the chicken (I am a chicken nazi – I’m terrified of the fat in the skin so will painstakingly sit and remove every piece of skin and fat from the chicken pieces, [...]
