Creamy Sweet Potato Mash Recipe
Welcome back to the (sweet) potatoes series! If you missed out on last week’s post, I talked about the benefits / drawbacks and highlighted the differences between regular potatoes and sweet potatoes. Po-tay-to, po-tah-to, what’s the difference you ask? More than you know, I say. How much do you really know about potatoes?! Last week’s post may have been a little heavier/geekier/nerdier than usual, but trust me, it will be worth it! Since we will be discussing the science of (crispy) Potato / Sweet Potato Fries in great detail next week , I reckon we should have a more light-hearted, yet equally delicious intermission in between! So fast and so…

Let’s talk… (sweet) Potatoes! #1
Hello everyone! Welcome to this sweet potato series, which will be featuring the Sweet Potato Fries recipe and Creamy Sweet Potato Mash recipe. 🙂 How much do you really know about potatoes?! When we hear the word “potato”, what do we think of? CARBS. Are carbohydrates really our worst enemy? The popular answer in our community these days seem to be a big Y-E-S, extremely contradictory to the food pyramid that we are all familiar with. It is funny how people can never decide whether a type of food is beneficial or harmful to us. As my mother always says, “Everything in moderation.” I grew up surprisingly disciplined when it…

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…

Let’s talk… Chewy Cookies! #4 Ingredients
Hiya! A quick recap: One day it’s beautiful cookies and the next day they transform back into spreading ugly ducklings – what happened?! After our previous talk on (#3 Leavening), we have finally arrived at the final episode of the Chewy Cookies Series, which is also leading up to my classic chocolate chip cookies recipe. Get excited!! #4: Ingredients As mentioned previously, I have been using the same recipe to replicate my cookies. However the fact is, I have been taking it lightly when it comes to picking out the exact ingredients, changing my constants into variables instead. *Below I have only identified a few ingredients which I may have…

Let’s talk… Chewy Cookies! #3 Leavening
I have been known for cutting school quite often in the past, not because I think I’m smart enough, but because I don’t like being forced into acquiring certain types of knowledge knowledge… that I might find pointless atm.. However there was one class that I would always try to attend, Chemistry Lab. My chemistry teacher loved to torture us. She would give us the experiment of the day but we would not be allowed to leave school until we finished the experiment and handed up our reports. Her favourite thread was “call a cab because you’re going to miss the school bus”. Anyway, that was never an issue for…

Let’s talk… Chewy Cookies! #2 Temperature
Hello everyone! I don’t know much about weather science, but I am truly convinced that there are only 2 seasons in the United Kingdom: 3 months of glorious summer and 9 months of winter (cries). A quick recap: One day it’s beautiful cookies and the next day they transform back into spreading ugly ducklings – what happened?! Moving on from my first puzzle (#1 Measurements), this post is in continuation to my Chewy Cookies Series, and en route to my classic chocolate chip cookies recipe. Let’s jump straight into it! #2: Temperature Temperature is simply the most imperative variable responsible for the outcome of your cookies. Baking at the right…
