Black Glutinous Rice Dessert
By This is Life
06/13/12 11:00
Originally a Thai dessert (I think), I made sure that the black glutinous rice is only just cooked (when they started to split), instead of cooking them until soft. The texture of the rice is crispy outside and soft (but not soggy) inside, making the dessert...

Baked Raspberry Cream Cheesecake
By This is Life
05/04/12 13:02
My favourite cheesecake is Japanese Style cheesecake . It is light and feathery, smooth but with a slight crumbly texture. And if you are not careful, you'll find yourself eating the whole cake in one sitting. But there is a lot of work involved and every...

Raspberry Tiramisu
By This is Life
04/27/12 13:30
I bought a pack of Mascarpone Cheese and a packet of lady fingers about 2 weeks ago, but have been too busy to make something out of them. I thought of making a Tiramisu, but I wanted to do something different. I spent ages wondering what else I can make,...

Mocha Cake

Paper-Mache Easter Eggs
By This is Life
04/05/12 12:30
I have a problem. Every time I see some gorgeous craft made by really crafty and talented bloggers, I feel the need to make the same thing. However, since I'm not the talented crafty type of person, I always ended up making them ten times uglier. But I...

Painted Easter Eggs

04/04/12 12:30
Abby's school is holding a painted Easter egg competition for the pre-schoolers this week. Although I'm not really a very tidy person, I avoid children mess as much as possible. And the thought of painting at home easily adds another few strands of grey...

One Pot Meal with the Rice Cooker
By This is Life
04/03/12 12:30
I don't know how supermarkets can do it, but two whole roast chickens for £5.00 is extremely cheap! Obviously we can't finish two whole chicken between the four of us, so we normally keep the second one in the fridge, and the next day I'd make a delicious...

It has been a really warm Summery week and I'm sure most of my posts have revealed how we felt. A big shame that it has started to cool down now, fingers crossed it will be warm again during Easter! I made this for dinner last night because we still felt...

Inspired by the Avocado Milkshake I made two days ago, and the bunch of going-to-rot-soon-in-this-weather bananas, I decided to do an experiment and made this Banana and Avocado Mousse Cake. I made a mistake by not listening to all the signs shouting at...
