MNC perks and sugee biscuits
My dad got a casio exilim 6mega-pixel camera from work. Brand new. And free. It really does pay to work for a giant multi-national cooperation, which also happens to be in the multi-gazillion dollar petroleum industry. Free 6mega-pixel cameras I tell you!

pimp my creme
Came across a recipe for creme brulee that I had copied down from Gary Rhodes’ Sweet Dreams and decided to try it out, even though I vaguely remember doing so years ago and not really liking the result. But why not, i thought. Maybe twice the charm. And Gary Rhode’s desserts always look divine. Scrumptious [...]

cake in a cup
Frosted and topped with a little red heart. Sweeeet!
Bought my first one kilo block of varlhona (64%) a few days ago and I’ve been saving it for a good recipe.
this.was.it.
I’ve never really cared for cupcakes. They tend to be dry ‘cos they’re so easy to overbake; never as moist as slices of cakes. And [...]
