Recipe Test: Chicken Alfredo
Recipe Test: Chicken Alfredo
I tried this Delish chicken alfredo recipe. Is it really the Best Perfect Chicken Alfredo? Outside of the problematic English, can something be the best and perfect? It’s pretty good. Except that the timing and proportions are all wrong. I followed the time they told me to cook the chicken breast and it was all still raw, and that there was not enough broth or milk to cook the noodles. By the…

Food Experiment: Monkfruit Sugar Meringues.
Food Experiment: Monkfruit Sugar Meringues.
melted meringues I love sugar. I love sweets and I love baking. The problem is I want to keep my weight down, and also was diagnosed with pre-diabetes last year. I was able to control it with diet and exercise and my blood sugar went below the marker, but I still want to be careful. So I want to try out different sugars and flour. This week I tried out monkfruit sugar with egg whites to make a…

Recipe Test: White Pumpkin Pie
Recipe Test: White Pumpkin Pie
I live across the road from a pumpkin patch. When my son was little, I would bring him there and let him run around as if it was a playground. I got to know the woman who runs the place, her name is Anita, and as the years gone by, she began giving me the pumpkins for free. This year, she kept a white pumpkin for me and gifted it to me, as she remembered last year I was looking for one. The…

Cracking Sea Urchin into Uni
Cracking Sea Urchin into Uni
This experiment has been gearing up in the last few months. First, I was invited to a dive where we would harvest sea urchins in the morning and eat them for lunch. Then I was at the farmer’s market, and saw a woman buying a few of them. I wanted to get one, but she had bought them all. They looked intimidating, curious and dangerous, as the last time I touched one, I had stepped onto one of the…

Cheese: Le Delice de bourgogne, Cheese lincet
Cheese: Le Delice de bourgogne, Cheese lincet
I always get the same few cheeses, and the other day I went out and grabbed a random one, and I LOVE it. It’s really soft and creamy but has a full round taste with a slight sharpness in the end. It doesn’t smell harsh after a few days like a lot of other soft cheeses. It’s a brie which surprised me, as I generally don’t like brie that much. The rind is really soft, like it’s part of the cheese.…

Farmer Market Finds: Pink Lemons
Farmer Market Finds: Pink Lemons
I found these in November 4th. They are the size of a very large limes, pink inside and striped outside. They taste like lemons despite looking like grapefruit. I used these to make lemon poppy seed and almond cookies. https://www.instagram.com/p/CV6RYepveNz/

Trouble Shooting Cantonese Steamed Eggs
Trouble Shooting Cantonese Steamed Eggs
I had a lot of bubbles in my steamed egg mixture and it left the finished product with bubbles inside making it not smooth. I also read somewhere that you can steam eggs in an instant pot for six minutes and natural release. I did that, and it was overcooked, so it didn’t turn out well at all. I showed my mum the photos and she asked me if I used CHOPSTICKS to mix the eggs with the water/chicken…

Recipe Test: Chicken Cacciatore
Recipe Test: Chicken Cacciatore
I was going through somethings and my friend Jackie brought over some dinner for me. It was her leftover chicken cacciatore. I’ve never had it before, and really enjoyed it. So I tried the recipe she made it with. Dinner at the Zoo’s slow cooker chicken cacciatore . It came out well, I had some leftover marinara sauce from another dish, so I added two chicken thighs into the recipe and poured a…

The Elusive Pumpkin Soup Recipe..... :(
I can't seem to get the pumpkin soup right....
For Halloween, I was given a white pumpkin by the lady in the pumpkin patch across the street from me. I had heard you can cook with a white pumpkin, so decided to try. My goal was to make a pumpkin pie. That only took two cups of puree so I had a lot of it left, and so I made soup with it. I followed this recipe which I felt was standard. The soup looked good, but there was something missing…

Buttercream Frosting Test
I just tried this frosting:
500g of icing sugar
150g of butter
60ml of soy milk
vanilla essense
whipped for 5 minutes
It was okay, was really soft, and I couldn’t make any florets, not that I really knew how to make it but it had no strength it it. I think it didn’t work so well in hot weather. Do frosting work or not work depending on temperature?

Once completely dissolved, add 1 cup of cold water.
Let liquid cool before put in fridge for…

Thoughts on Cooking…
Cooking has always been a pleasure for me. Preparing and putting the different ingredients together, waiting for it to heat or cool, then eating.
Often cooking your own food tastes better than the bought version especially when it came to baking, and I enjoyed the process of experimenting and adjusting. I also loved making other people happy. I especially felt that way, when my son was young,…

Everything Quiche Recipe Base
I’ve been searching for a good quiche base for a long time. They are all different, as how much cream, how many eggs. Sometimes they come off dense. At times too soft.
I recently tried this ratio:
4 eggs and 300ml of cream.
40 minutes at 200 C (392 F)
It turned our beautifully. Fluffy and light.
I have to admit, it might have helped I used really great quality cream. It was a…

Blue Eggs....
Blue Eggs….
Farmers Market Finds
At the farmers market I found these multicolored eggs. I was especially taken with the blue ones. The vendor said blue eggs were from Americana chickens, while there we Easter Egrets, Rhode Island Red, and Black Copper birds as well. He said that they tasted all the same, but some people felt that they were more “nutritious” which be both doubted.
Once cracked, they…
