    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.

    Melon Buns (Meron Pan)

    Hot on the heels of recreating my childhood baked favourite of Castella (Kasutera) this month for the Sweet Adventures Blog Hop (Love At First Bite), I managed to stretch my trip down memory lane further with a batch of Melon Buns (Meron Pan in Japanese).
