My First Love or Loaf?

53 1
Alright alright.. It was expected. Seeming that I'm such a "wholemeal" and "whole grain" person. Well, grains are more hearty to eat rather than white bread because they contain nothing but carbs and trans fat. They're something most Malaysians[...]

When Fast Food are Slow

53 1
It's been quite some time since I actually had pizza, even though it's just a phone call away. I have bugged my god sister to make me a homemade, thin crust pizza. I prefer eating thin crust cause I get to eat more of the filling. And yes, she[...]

It was just recently when I started blog hopping into the Chinese foodie blogs just to look for a more Asian or Chinese delicacies. Having toast, eggs, oats and cereal has finally bore me as I kept asking mum what to have for breakfast tomorrow.[...]

Not Quite a Stollen Recipe.

53 1
"Hey, try my stollen!" "What did you just say?", they looked puzzled "A stollen!" Noone knew what was a Stollen Bread. Not my aunts. Not for those who celebrates Christmas every year. So these breads were never known in Malaysia. Infact, I've[...]

The Spiced Life Family Sweet Rolls

John: "Are these healthier than your family's sweet rolls?" Me: "Yes, probably." John (said with sadness): "I can taste it." Me: "Well would you eat them (as well as the family sweet rolls) if you had both?" John: (An incredulous look) This was[...]

A Convenient Dough (no-knead, 100% whole wheat)

53 1
When Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day by Jeff Hertzberg and Zoe Francois came out last fall, it didn't even make a bleep on my radar screen. I didn't read any review or go to a bookstore to browse through it or check it out of the[...]
