My Test Kitchen: Jamie Oliver's Ghanaian Groundnut Stew

I love collecting cookbooks. I remembered the time when my friends were raving about the Kindle and how the age of book printing will be coming to an end and how you can store millions of books in a small device, I have to admit that a small part of me deflated. You see, I love magazines and cookbooks. And of course, I love to read too. I remembered going to all the libraries of the different departments in my college and walking into the old building housing so many books. The feeling was just overwhelming. True enough, my love of books will always be there so I will somehow always have a rather small collection of books including cookbooks. Jamie Oliver's Comfort Food was a gift from my cousins from my most recent trip to Hong Kong. It took me sometime to go through it. This book is to be savored. I can sense that this was painstakingly well thought of. With one recipe more unique or humble than the next. I think it was based on the philosophy that as long as the ingredients a...

My Test Kitchen: Dorie Greenspan's Big and Tall Classic Cheesecake

A newly made friend at the office inspired me to make my very first baked cheesecake. She's a true blooded Filipina and I admire her because she stayed true to herself even after so many years of living in Australia. She has such an outgoing personality and gets excited at the thought of trying out new restaurants. She's my kind of gal friend. She's a dessert lover too - anything with sweet or with chocolate really. I'm a believer that anyone who loves chocolate is a good person and is very likely to be a good friend. Recently, she made a no-bake mango cheesecake and had me try a slice. She also makes a damn good red velvet muffin with cream cheese frosting. She made me fell in love with the moist crumb and rich and tangy frosting. No cupcake is complete without frosting. Over the busy work week, the only thing I thought of was what to bake on the weekend and I AM DESPERATE to bake something - anything! Thinking back on the no bake cheesecake and then to my weekend ...

On the Cheap: Kay's Chicken @ Hanaichi, QV Melbourne, Melbourne CBD

Kay's Chicken (AUD 9.80) You don't have to be rich to have a decent lunch in the CBD area. Living in a food-loving city has its perks for sure and that is variety. I'm pretty sure that I can eat out for 6 months in a row and still have choices left. However, when we can't eat like royalty, dining on the cheap side is the way to go. So, most people think Asian food when it comes to cheap food and there's no question why. Asian food is known to be served fast, hot and filling - Kay's Chicken at Hanaichi ticks all the boxes. Granted I've been here several times when I used to work on this side of the city and I had my fair share of delicious eats here. I never had this one before as I always liked their curry and didn't actually think of trying anything else...until today. M told me that this place served delicious fried chicken and I had my doubts. Really now? I had to accept the challenge so we trekked to QV from the posh side of Collins St. I ...
