Spinach Mushroom Sausage Quiche with Goat Cheese

First post in 2015 and it already February, time really flying so quick. During my Christmas time, I went to Singapore and Bangkok with my family and in January I went to Melbourne to watch the Australia Open for the first time. It had been pretty busy at the beginning of the year for all the holiday and catch up with friends. Now I finally have time to update my blog and do some serious cooking/baking. My mum almost thought I gave up baking because I didn’t bake for a month when I come back from Thailand.

Super Easy 30 minutes Potato Dill Egg Salad

I’m back in Sydney for more than a week now. Finally settle down and kill my post-holiday blue with another holiday end of this year. I’m pretty sure I am very addicted to travel and you cannot believe how depress I am when I just came back from Japan. Seriously Japan is full of delicious food and fun thing to do where I just want to live there. I shall share my Japan Trip with you soon when I start catch up a bit with my study.

Simple Soft and Fluffy Buttermilk Scone

Scone has always been one of most frequent recipe I baked very now and then as breakfast or afternoon tea. Even since I was young, I always love scone so much and whenever I went to different hotel or café for High Tea (or should call Afternoon Tea as per British), all I want from is the soft fluffy scone with lot of jam and cream on top. However, it not easy to found good scone, since it is best when they freshly bake and serve it warm.

Sauce lover - Nutty Pesto Sauce

I always dream to own a kitchen where I can own a little garden and grow a lot of spice and fresh herbs. But I guess it did take a lot of commitment when you are trying to grow some plant (I don’t want to kill any plant), so far I only have basil and coriander in my garden (not inside my kitchen but next to my pool, so my dog can't play with it).

Mon Petit Déjeuner - Pear Cranberry Almond Tart

Even since I start baking, Sunday become the most exciting day of the week. Which mean I get to try all sort of recipe I had in mind during the week made them and get my family to taste testing. Most of the times I will make savoury breakfast like big breakfast, Baked egg or open sandwich etc. But you know some day you just feel like something sweet for breakfast like pancake or Danish pastry. And this Sunday I was craving for tart. 

Mon Petit Déjeuner - Cranberry Lemon Muffin With Crumble Topping

Last night I felt so tired and didn’t want to bake anything too complicate which I usually call “Big Job” because it involves lot of washing or mixing. So I decide to make myself some breakfast/snack and bake some muffin.

l literally did not know the difference about muffin and cupcake, the only way I use to define then is cupcake involve lot more butter than muffin. Therefore I consider muffin is a healthier option of cupcake. So when I dig around my kitchen and search for ingredient, I found some frozen cranberry which I bought from Costco while ago and some lemon. At first I plan to use the frozen cranberry to make smoothie but they are so sour, so I left it in the freezer and didn’t touch it again. Why not make a muffin with cranberry? And I also add some Lemon zest to add on some aroma which is better and more natural than any other essence. 

At first I did not intend to add the crumble topping but then I feel like something crunchy on top of my muffin. I’m not sure about what other people like, but for me I think the best part of a muffin is the muffin top. You can also use the same crumble recipe to make dessert like apple crumble, also one of my favourite recipe with apple. 

Brunch idea - French toast with caramelised banana & Greek yoghurt

Thank god it Saturday which mean no work no worry. But today I have to wake up early to walk my dog Baileys and decide to be a healthy wannabe - run and swim. 

After all those exercise I'm pretty much exhausted and decide to pamper myself for a nice brunch. No need to just had toast, banana and yoghurt for breakfast but I did a little twist to it, so it look more gourmet like those hipster cafe in Surry Hills. 

It is one of my favourite recipe for weekend brunch that I normally make for my family. Basically French toast can go with any fruit you like, my choice would normally be green apple & banana. You can never go wrong with these fruit. 

Today I made it with caramelised banana because I've been craving for banana spring roll so badly which my family and friend think I'm crazy but it was really delicious (trust me!!!).
