Today I am doing something different. I am sharing with you my ten fondest food memories. Just ten? Well, I do have so many, but these are my fondest by far and I go back to them every now and then. My inspiration for this post comes from Caitlin of Food Nerd who is hosting Top Ten Food-Related Memories this month. It’s a lovely idea and I think you would enjoy heading on over to her blog and checking out …
Continuing on with our new series 10 Questions With A Food Blogger, we have today the lovely Yuie from Lemonpi joining us to answer some fun questions. I discovered Yuie’s blog earlier this year and was fascinated by her extremely unique take on the subject of food and blogging. You will find some really rare recipes on her wonderful blog with delicious photos and a writing style that ebbs and flows delicately. When I started chatting with her on Twitter, …
I have a few roses popping up in my garden every now and then as the weather turns cooler. And I have plenty of odd and end uses for the rose petals. I use them to make ice creams, spike desserts, infuse in tea, cook into a chutney and garnish cakes. This time around I decided to try out a fudge recipe that I had been thinking of. I have taken my 5-minute microwaveable fudge recipe and tried out …
I recently got a copy of Belinda Jeffery’s Mix & Bake cookbook from my local library. It is full of delicious looking goodies and at the turn of every page, you have to stop yourself from rushing to the kitchen to churn out something from your oven. The recipes are delightfully simple in this book and there are quite a few nice ones for brownies, another one of my favorite indulgences.

When I came across a post where Bron‘s lovely daughters dressed up as fairies, held up wispy pieces of paper with some magical ingredients scrawled on them, I knew I was going to bite the bullet and participate in my first ever Paperchef. The task at hand sounded like fun, the fours ingredients revealed for the challenge were floury potatoes, proscuitto, thyme and Mother’s Day. What would I make with these …

I have been craving chocolate a lot lately. Maybe it is the chill in the air or the fact that I am running my knees off three times a week, visions of brownies and fudgy chocolate ganache cloud my thoughts throughout the day. So I thought about making NTTC May 2009 about chocolate, anything chocolate really. Sounds like fun right? The official NTTC No. 3 MAY 2009 Challenge begins today as I write this post and ends on May 31, …
The first ever NTTC, Not Time To Cook happened in March 2009 and 6 people participated. It wasn’t a lot, but it got my hopes up and I was really excited to do the next one. This time around I even came up with a theme to make it more fun. Make a dessert! I said. Use Fruits! I said. In my eagerness, I also designed a bunch of nifty banners to use and promote the event. Nutty Ten to …
