Mushroom mania
2007-05-21 06:18:00 I have always been a lover of mushrooms, they come in a huge variety of varieties and each have their own distinct characteristics and flavours that can really give a big boost to almost any dish. Though their bodies mostly consist of water (hence the drastic shrinkage during cooking), many varieties contain lots of fibre ... More About: Vegetarian , Mushroom , Room , Mania , Mush
Who said all fakes are bad?
2007-05-17 09:26:00 An ice-cream maker has long been on my list of things I wish to buy for my kitchen, but since quitting my job to concentrate on study in February, money has definitely been one of the things I’m lacking in (well, the purchase of my highly overpriced but much loved Canon G7 probably had a ...

The sweetest puff of all
2007-05-13 15:22:00 Cream puffs are one of those desserts that can appear either super posh or as everyman’s fare, depending on how you dress them. Filled with a simple vanilla pastry cream and dusted with a little icing sugar, they are delightful sweets that are easily held in the hand and devoured in a few quick bites. ...

Food bloggers are good for both body and mind
2007-05-11 15:16:00 One of the web’s many food bloggers who never fails to grab my attention is Neil from At My Table. A fellow Aussie and Melbournian, he’s a seasoned cook who makes delights such as infused cherry vodka and mussels in cider as well as writing on a variety of topics from wines and spices to ...

Too many food blogs, not enough time
2007-05-08 18:14:00 As my fellow food-bloggers and readers may know, there are a lot of food blogs out there, and with that many different people blogging their cooking, it inevitably leads to a situation where there are WAY too many recipes that you want to try, and to give them all a shot, you’ll need to stay ...

Melt-in-your-mouth macarons
2007-05-05 16:36:00 After seeing the darling chocolate macarons by Gilly over at Humble Pie, I was reminded of the fact that I hadn’t tried making macarons in a very long time. I last blogged about them in August last year, but the truth is that I had tried them a few more times with rather disasterous results. ... More About: Desserts , Mouth , Maca

Passion of the yoyos
2007-05-03 08:50:00 Okay, the fact that I’m STILL giggling at my own cleverness with the title of this post is proof enough that I am a lover of all things cheesy - of both food and non-foody things. Why am I giggling and why is the title so titillating? Because, dear reader, today’s recipe is for passiofruit ... More About: Passion , Desserts , Pass , Sion , Passi

A sucker for strawberries
2007-05-01 03:45:00 Who knows how it started? Perhaps I enjoyed those childhood viewings of Stra wberry Shortcake a little too much, or perhaps it’s the fact that a strawberry was the very first berry that I ever ate, all I can say is that I’ve always been a sucker for a strawberry, and I doubt that my love ...

Oops, I did it again?
2007-04-29 05:01:00 If I look to my right, there is a big, dark brown wooden bookshelf that reaches almost up to my ceiling, and it is absolutely bursting with books. Sure, there is plenty of casual reading, but two bookshelves are completely overwhelmed by cook books and food magazines. A lot fewer than some, but an impressive ...

Come on over, we?re firing up the barbie?
2007-04-25 01:00:00 Though I am fiercly proud of my Korean heritage, I have always maintained that my home is Australia, and that I cannot envisage living anywhere else in the world. Tucked away in our own little corner of the world, this country is about as extreme as you could get - wet leafy rainforests, tall alpine ... More About: Desserts , Ring , Barbie , Over , Come
Sugar beware, I?m armed and dangerous
2007-04-23 15:50:00 Halfway through last year, a few months after starting this blog, I decided that I should take the jump and buy myself a little kitchen blow torch. My custard-loving sister is always desirous of new desserts that elevate the humble custard beyond it’s status as yellow goop, and therefore crème brûlée was something that I ...

No bananarama here, just banana-love
2007-04-21 11:11:00 I have a confession. I don’t like bananas. It’s a bit strange really - I adore banana in things that utilize the flavour (tarts, cakes, smoothies etc) but I cannot bring myself to grab a ‘nana, peel back the yellow skin and take a bite. There’s something about that thick, sticky texture that makes me think that ... More About: Love , Banana , Desserts , Here , Nana
Moussin? about (and happy blog-iversary?)
2007-04-17 13:12:00 When Helen announced the theme for this month’s HHDD event, my ears perked up. Whilst I’ve tried my hand at most desserts, the humble mousse was completely unknown to me, and therefore it was a challenge that I was totally raring to go for! After all, what’s not to like about a nice, creamy, light-as-air ... More About: Blog , About , Happy
Oodles of noodles
2007-04-14 16:25:00 This colourful dish is one of my favourite Korean noodle dishes, warming, refreshing and filling at the same time! Korean cuisine has many brothy dishes, and the many that I love have a peculiar quality in that drinking them always makes me feel warm and refreshed at the same time. I can’t say exactly what it ...

What?s mine is not yours.
2007-04-12 18:42:00 I apologize for this non-food related post but there’s something that I need to air. The internet is a big, broad expanse and it is impossible to keep track of it all as there is simply no way of doing so. Therefore, when putting my words and images online, I realize that there is a chance ... More About: What , Hat , Your , Mine
How to say ?thanks!?
2007-04-11 06:47:00 Now, although my food photography skills have slowly been (in my opinion) improving, I’ve never been able to take nice landscape and scenery shots. I ended up finally getting together with Melbourne Flickrite Adam last Saturday, and though I doubt I’ll ever take pictures quite as well as he does, he did manage to give ...

Achoo!
2007-04-08 10:16:00 So, after a week of my body fighting off the onset of a cold, it seems to have finally dug it’s germy little claws into my body - I have been sneezing and shivering all day, with these ol’ bones of mine creaking and aching away. Of course, this is probably my own doing after ...
No frills, no fuss, just flavour
2007-04-04 05:06:00 This is ridiculously quick and easy and not too bad in the flavour department! Since quitting my job, I often have lunch at home with my ma and we take turns to cook. It’s usually a bit of a quick, whatever’s in the fridge, gotta get rid of leftovers affair, but sometimes we’ll do something a ... More About: Just , Fuss
Running a bit behind
2007-04-02 09:39:00 I’m running a bit late with everything at the moment - Weekend Dog Blogging being no exception to the rule! I meant to have this up last night to submit to Cate at Sweetnicks, but alas, I was up late studying and it completely slipped my mind! I do have a few recipes that need ...

This Nostalgia Tastes Bittersweet - the roundup :)
2007-03-30 07:32:00 Late last month, I was feeling rather nostalgic about the past, and as a result I decided to hold a once-off event celebrating foods tied to events in our past. Having extended this invitation out, I’ve been utterly overwhelmed by the response from food bloggers looking to take part and share some wonderful memories and ...

Deep Fried Delight (aka food bloggers rock)
More articles from this author:2007-03-28 16:31:00 So what are these crazy little sugar-covered, golden brown non-churrosy churros all about? Well, let me tell you… Early on in the month, I’d been going through my regular food blog reads when I happened across this post over at Matt Bites. Hoboy. Those golden brown nuggets of bliss absolutely won me over, and if that ... More About: Food , Blogger , Rock , Blog , Bloggers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 |
