Korova Cookies
These many people can’t be wrong.
For each word of the previous statement is a link to a blog/site that extols the magnificance of these cookies. And there are simply put, the best double chocolate cookies I’ve ever tried. With Varlhona cocoa, bittersweet chopped chocolate, organic fleur de sel, and pure European unsalted butter, I don’t [...]

Henna-ed cupcakes
I’ve been wanting to try this out for the longest of times. The first time the idea came to me was when I was applying henna for my cousin… I was thinking of what it’d be like to decorate an entire cake with these lovely patterns.

As soon as I saw this recipe on Maya’s blog, I knew I had to try it out…like yesterday. I have a soft spot for all butter cookies, but especially these pale yellow rossettes. I mean, how quiant can a cookie get? I’ve tried other recipes for melting moments but the rossettes always spread out during baking, becoming unidentifiable [...]

Eggless maple pecan cake
As you may have realised, there’s been a spate of vegetarian recipes on this blog.

Daddy dearest’s birthday was the perfect opportunity then. And with all the good-natured nagging he gets from [...]

I don’t usually get all superflous about frostings because it’s so hard to come by one that is good enough to warrant hyperbole like gorgeous, fantastic, mouthwatering etc. This cream cheese one, however deserves all that and more. Now, I’ve always had a problem with cream cheese frosting. I love how it perfectily compliments a plethora of ingredients like chocolate, berries, [...]

Maple butter biscuits
It’s quite difficult for me to find a good cookie-cutter recipe. Most of the time, I end up rolling out the biscuit dough, cutting it out into pretty shapes and bunging them in the oven to bake, only to discover when I remove the trays from the oven that the cookies have expanded and spread out so much [...]
