Perfect Madeleines – St John Bread and Wine
BEHOLD, I have with me, the only recipe you will ever need for The Perfect Madeleines Happiness. I will tell you a story about a girl who found her happily ever after… Once upon a time There was a young girl who woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Letting her emotions take over her, she got into a heated argument with her boyfriend as she was exceptionally petty about his neglect to fulfil a minor task. Despite the precipitation of a frosty atmosphere between them, they went ahead with their original plans to have lunch in central London. It has been more than an hour now and…

To be honest, I can be quite a lazy person sometimes. I’d find any excuse to procrastinate, cause that is just who I am – a person needy for “no-quality me time”, which requires doing absolutely nothing.

I then entered into a dilemma because I realised that I already bought all the ingredients of a lemon yogurt cake, and if I didn’t bake anything…

Hangzhou-style Braised Pork Belly Recipe, 東坡肉 (Dōng Pō Ròu)
GONG XI FA CAI! 恭喜发财！ I’ve decided to continue the Chinese recipes in lieu of Chinese New Year. If I were to bring a dish to a potluck party, this braised pork belly – Hangzhou style 東坡肉 – would be my signature dish. It is very special to me – proven to be successful in making friends (LOL). This dish has also earned me a decent boyfriend. Now his family refers to me as DPR, i.e. Dōng Pō Ròu – I kid you not, that’s what his grandmother called me last year. On the eve of the Chinese New Year, families gather (from near and far) for a reunion dinner.…

Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
Hi peeps! I am very excited to be able to finally share my classic chocolate chip cookies recipe with you. I have experimented with many test batches and received many heartwarming compliments, particularly those from people I have never even met! So if you are looking for a speed dial recipe, you’ve come to the right place. 😉 Now I know chocolate chip cookies should have more chocolate chips, but I replaced most of them with chocolates chunks as they give that wonderful gooey and melted chocolate effect. It is pure goodness and yet deadly sinful once in your mouth…. OOOOH! I do highly recommend chilling your cookie dough…
