Breadmaking is extremely time consuming but results are very rewarding. this loaf took 2 days from start to finish and the results were very good. It stayed soft and fresh even on the following day. I personally have an interest in bread baking as its more challenging to make and less fattening. Nothing beats eating bread fresh from the oven!!

Japanese cheesecake

i have a softspot for cheesecake and the japanese version is great if you feel its too sinful to eat the american’s version. for this cheesecake i only used 125gm of creamcheese for the entire cake and we ate 1/2 the cake even before it had a chance to enter the fridge! my dog loved it too!!

made a strawberry sauce to compliment the cheesecake too and the rest is going to the fridge to set (added some gelatin) for jam tomorrow.

My first post, my first macaron

this being my first post i decided to make something special.. after reading from various blogs on the difficulty of making macaroons, i decided to make some.

here they are and they have feet!! im delighted with the results even though i only used fresh eggwhites and did not grind my almonds properly resulting in a rough surface-of-the-moon appearance. i made them macha flavour and omitted the ganache as i wasnt sure it was going to be a success. i didnt do a very good job of pipping them well and it ended up not having uniform sizes. but they tasted delicious nevertheless.
