    Japanese Black Sesame Ice Cream

    August 29, 2011 /

    This is one delicious nutty ice cream . The color of the ice cream might not be so inviting , but believe me , looks can be deceiving sometimes . I really think this has become my favourite ice cream , on the top list .. more than the vanilla ice cream !! It’s not hard to make , just make sure you watch it closely when you roast the sesame seed because it might get burnt easily since it’s black and you wouldn’t be able to tell . So anyway , here it is You need : 1/2 cup of roasted black sesame seed 3/4 cup of sugar 4…

    Carrot Cake

    August 21, 2011 /

    I have been looking for a better recipe of carrot cake . I used to have this recipe , that needs 3 sticks of butter to make a 2 layers of carrot cake . No i don’t have any complains about it , but the 3 sticks of butter plus another stick for the cream cheese icing ,doesn’t make me feel better about it . Luckily i found this one recipe that does not even require any butter !!  And it tasted so good , i don’t even bother to make it into a round cake , but i made it into cupcakes and loaf cake . And since i…

    Couscous au Poulet

    August 20, 2011 /

    Or you can always call it chicken couscous , either it’s  Tunisian dish or Moroccan dish .. not quite sure about it . But all i know is , that this dish was delicious . Despite that it’s not that hard to make . Me and my family love couscous , we really enjoy couscous every once in a while . And usually we pair it with some grilled chicken or some fish . Couscous au Poulet , was easy to make , it’s not really hard .. except you need some spices for sure . And if you have saffron , it would be even better , unfortunately i…

    Hachi Parmentier

    August 20, 2011 /

    No no , this dish doesn’t have anything to do with dogs .. Maybe most of you heard and seen Hachi , a movie about dog , but this dish here , has nothing to do with dogs . I love dogs , i would rather starve to death than having to eat them . So anyway , let’s talk about hachi parmentier , it’s another french dish . It’s actually contained of meat and mashed potatoes , and baked . I guess you can call it French shepherds pie . Although my family loves it , i don’t really care for this dish that much . The taste was…

    Quiche Maraichere

    August 15, 2011 /

    This quiche is amazingly delicious , i thought it wasn’t going to have too much of taste since it’s all vegetables . Turned out it’s so good !! I can’t really say that’s it’s easy to make , it’s not bad , but it takes time . I started making the pate brisee yesterday . And then had to let it sit overnight . Tart isn’t hard to make , it’s like making any other pie crust . I used my food processor which makes the job a whole lot easier .. you can do it by hand too , but if you don’t have food processor , i suggest…

    Pain a l’ancienne Focaccia

    I wanted to bake yesterday , everybody was busy with their own project and i decided to try to make Focaccia , the right way this time . The very first i made it , i used bread machine and basically i cheated and it also didn’t turn out as good . So yesterday .. i decided let’s do this the right way .. i used Peter Reinhart’s artisan bread book , and that’s where i found this recipe . It took time , but i just didn’t have the patient to let it sit overnight , and it seems from the recipe .. i can always pan it right…

    Provençal Soup ( Soupe au Pistou )

    August 7, 2011 /

    This soup is similar to fresh vegetables soup that i usually make during summer month where we’re having lots of fresh vegetables . Both are delicious , although i think this one has a better taste , it could be that added the home made pesto into the soup changed the tastes to be a lot better than regular fresh vegetable soup . Soupe au Pistou is from Provençal area of France , and all it is just fresh vegetable soup , and when you serve it , you add pesto in it . At first i wasn’t too sure about adding pesto , but i am glad i did…

    Red Velvet Cake

    August 6, 2011 /

    Southern speciality cake , red velvet cake is a deliciously moist cake with cream cheese icing as the frosting . I love the cake , but i don’t care too much for any kind of icing , esp. cream cheese icing . Even when i make carrot cake i scraped off the icing off my cake , i still make the cakes the right way of course , with the cream cheese icing , except when i have my own slice , i scrape it off 🙂 Anyway , this red velvet cake is quite easy to make , as any other layer cake , the consuming time is the…

    Poulet Basquaise & Gougère

    August 5, 2011 /

    Tonight was a french night at our household . Although i started cooking this really late , i think it’s perfectly worth to try ! Poulet Basquaise is Chicken Basquaise , it almost tastes like Chicken Cacciatore , without all the italian herbs . Instead we used a lot of vidalia onions , green and red pepper , enough tomatoes , thyme and bay leaves , i also added a little of mild peppers and chipotle chili powder .It turned out very yummy , it does take a little time to cook the ragout , which is onion , green and red pepper , tomatoes etc .. But once everything…

    Basil Pesto

    This is one my summer favourite , pesto , I grow my own basil during spring / summer , and i found out how easy to make pesto , especially during summer months , where i can just go out and get some fresh basil and turned them into a yummy delicious pesto ! You can use pesto for a lot of thing , but my favourite is to use pesto in a sandwich , i heard about pesto for pasta too . But never tried it before .. So here is my pesto recipe , the only down thing is that pine nuts are so expensive , if you…

    Seafood Pot Au Feu

    August 2, 2011 /

    This is a very delicious french soup recipe . The broth is so delicious and rich in flavour , although the base of the soup only required a little ingredients . The combination of the seafood in this stew/soup will give the delicious flavour .I used mussels , sea scallops and salmon . I know all these ingredients are not cheap , well at least they’re not in my area , maybe if you live by the coast , all of those will be come cheaper . But let me assure you , this soup is worth to try . Not only they’re easy , they’re also super healthy .…
