THIN AND CHEWY DATES AND RUM COOKIES
DENSE AND CHEWY AND BORDERLINE STICKY [ezcol_1third] Sometimes, I feel, if a recipe could talk… it wouldn’t be thanking me for lovingly bringing it into this world, nor telling me how it did at school today over a cup of hot cocoa, nor about its hopes and dreams as we laugh and cry together in the kitchen…

PERFECTLY BAKED SAUNA EGGS
[ezcol_1third] SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN 50~55 MINUTES, IS THE FIFTY SHADES OF YELLOW [/ezcol_1third] [ezcol_1third] OK, I admit. For someone who has, more than once, cried sympathy for her egg-allergy, I spend an unnatural amount of time studying the perfect way to cook them.

CURRIED LENTIL AND SHRIMP POPCORNS
[ezcol_1third] PANCETTA TARTARE. WHAT-EH-WHADAT? [/ezcol_1third] [ezcol_2third_end] OK, here’s the thing.

PEPPERONI MEATBALLS SPAGHETTI
[ezcol_1half] EACH MEATBALLS CONTAIN… A TON OF AGE-FORTIFIED FAT-BITS AND TIME-CONSUMING FLAVOURS Last night, as I unleashed the freezer-section dumplings onto my most festive-looking plate, as part of our mostly-take-out Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner that didn’t even get bothered to be removed from its cleanup-friendly plastic-wares, and watched the annual city-wide shelling of fireworks carried out…

BACON CRACKLIN’ PANCAKE W/ SALTED HONEY
[ezcol_1third] WHEN DID THE ALL-STAR WORD “CRUST” LEAVE THE PANCAKE CONVERSATION? I know, there are a lot of you out there, who loves pancakes. And I just want to say, really, I tried. I’ve never understood pancakes… I’ve never understood the appeal of it. I’ve never understood the logistics of it. The oftentimes blandness and monotoned textures of…
