Recently, a PR company emailed me asking me if I was a “chocolate lover” and whether I’d be interested in writing a piece about pairing chocolate with tea in time for Mother’s Day. I, of course, said yes and a few days later, a package of four large chocolate bars from Green & Black’s Organic […]
Coconut bread, also known as “cocktail bread” (gai may bao in Cantonese), is readily available at Chinese bakeries and grocery stores (like T&T). This sweet-tasting bread is perfect for making French toast, which is what we did on Christmas Day. As I didn’t really feel like using a skillet, I decided to bake mine. I […]

The great thing about it is, once you’ve gotten the hang of making this cake, the flavours are endlessly interchangeable. For example, I’ve used this same […]
Valentine’s Day is on Tuesday so I’ve created the perfect dessert for a romantic dinner. My lemon sabayon, served in a martini glass over a layer of cranberry coulis and finished with a spongy lady finger, is not only pleasing to the eye, but packs a big punch of flavor without making you feel weighed […]
Recently, I had an unexpected out of town visitor. Since I don’t see her very often, I wanted to welcome her with a sweet treat, but only had about an hour to bake something before she arrived. Luckily, my easy, quick peach cobbler came to the rescue. While I used peaches in this recipe because […]
