I made two fruited ice-creams for my ice-cream party on Sunday. Apple, at the insistent request of my best friend, and banana frozen yoghurt. The apple ice-cream is from Nigella's Forever Summer, while the banana frozen yoghurt is adapted from Nigel Slater's banana ice-cream recipe in Real Food.I bought a big bag of apples from Yering Farm on...
This is the basic ice-cream recipe. Cream, egg yolks, sugar and vanilla - combined and then cooked slowly over a low heat until thick and velvety and gorgeous. Unlike the plain American Ben & Jerry's ice-creams bases, which are very suitable for delightfully garish flavour and textural additions, the cooked-custard base is best when flavoured quite simply. I...
Those of you following my Ice-Cream Sunday Project will have noticed that I tend to use ice-cream recipes that have a cooked custard as their base. However, there is more than one way to skin a cat, and more than one way to make an ice-cream.Butter Pecan Ice-CreamBen & Jerry's ice-creams involve no cooking at all. They give...
This is just a quick post to show y'all what we ate for Chinese new year's eve dinner on Saturday night. Every Chinese new year's eve the family gets together for reunion dinner, and we eat delicious Malaysian-Chinese food, prepared lovingly by my mum.Loh-Bak: Minced belly pork, mixed with spices, wrapped in beancurd skin and deep-fried.

Look, deep down I know that Valentine's Day is a completely commercial holiday, designed by gift card-companies to make money. But some things are just too cute to pass up!I whipped up a batch of Nigella's Coca-Cola Cupcakes last night to commemorate this "holiday". (And really, there is no other way to describe the process; they are so...
To tell the truth, I hadn't planned on making Nigella's Dime Bar Ice-Cream at all. It just sounded too plain - an ordinary egg custard, chilled and churned, with processor-pulverised Dime Bars folded through. However, numerous visits to Ikea in the past month prompted me to change my mind. You know how it is. You walk into Ikea...
More Donna Hay. This time I made the double chocolate cookies from Modern Classics Book 2 to while away a lazy Saturday afternoon with a friend of mine. They're simple and delicious - less than an hour of mixing, squishing and baking gives you a trayful of warm cookies and a kitchen full of gorgeous smells.I cannot tell...
I have recently been fortunate to come into a big store of fantastic German recipes, courtesy of my lovely friend Sandra, who is German, and knows how much I love to cook. This particular cheesecake recipe is her grandmother's, and is ridiculously easy to make. It is a plain baked cheesecake, bottomless (which means "no crust", rather than...
This delightful triple-chocolate semifreddo served as a birthday cake for my cousin Catherine's birthday dinner tonight. The last time I cooked dinner for my relatives, Catherine was flicking through Falling Cloudberries, and I suggested she bookmark the recipes that looked good so that I could make them for her sometime.MenuChickpea, feta & coriander saladCalamari with butter, lemon &...
After a big day of shopping at the market, we were very ready for lunch. I cooked the mussels (which had to be cooked ASAP) in the Belgian style, and serve it with roasted potatoes. The lady at the potato stall did say you could eat the mini potatoes simply deep fried, instead of chips. So I guess...
