    Creamy Tarako Pasta (Cod Roe Pasta)

    It’s only natural that a month after returning from my Tokyo holiday, I have a distinct hankering for Japanese food. Fortunately, my local Asian grocer seems to be ever increasing its range of Japanese groceries so a taste of Japan is never too far away. There are of course still many Japanese foods that are hard [...]

    Chowder (With Clams)

    Gluten Free Waffles

    It’s a Good Friday evening and up until a few minutes ago, it was indeed a good one. Unfortunately a few short fuses have resulted in me throwing in the kitchen towel and taking refuge in the study. Needless to say I think I will be afforded a quiet moment to get this blog post [...]

Some items were forgotten BYO’s acquired after hosting a succession of New Year’s Eve parties while others were purchased on a whim while travelling overseas (who can say no to duty free booze??). In spite [...]

    ‘Mont Blanc’ Cupcakes

    Many, many years ago when I first started blogging in 2009 (as Retromony), I wrote a post about a popular Japanese dessert called Mont Blanc or Monburan. You can read that post here to learn about what it is exactly but in a nutshell, Mon Blancs are light sponge cakes filled with fresh cream and topped [...]

    Gluten Free Graham Crackers

    While I was on the raw food diet earlier this year I dabbled with making flourless, dehydrated crackers using everything from buckwheat, almond meal and linseed. Some crackers came out quite nicely whereas others were interesting to put it mildly. They were still cracker-like though and very much appreciated during a time when all I [...]
