A bit wicked midnight habit...
I am just a very rotten insomniac, and by rotten I mean I occasionally indulge in the most sinful of habits at midnight, hmmm…
If I am not feasting on a buttered toast that is unashamedly dipped into a soft boiled egg flecked with sea salt, I am either caught red handed fishing green olives straight out of a jar or reheating a slice of chocolate and cinnamon bread pudding which I dribble...

A Minty Sugar Rush : Pretty in Pink Dinner Mints
I’ve always been in love with dinner or butter mints. It is that refreshing taste of peppermint and the spontaneous disintegration of it the moment I pop the candy in my mouth are the reasons why I am quite addicted with these.
I also have fond memories of dinner mints in my childhood. I remember one time I was babysitting my 2 year old cousin all alone (I was 11 years old that time)...

Basking in the warm summer sun and relishing the...
As I’ve mentioned a few times now, I love shooting food in natural light. Not only do I capture food in its natural beauty but it saves me a lot of time with the editing process.
These days I am shooting food either by the window or outdoors (not necessarily in direct sunlight, but somewhere nicely lit at the same time shaded).

Ingredients:
2 large yellow onions or if Vidalia Onions are available, those are much preferred, cut crosswise into 1/8-inch slices

Nutella-Peanut Butter Banana Bread Sandwich
Contrary to how sinful this sandwich looks like, it is actually not too sweet but yes, quite decadent for a midday/midnight snack because really it’s almost the same as eating a piece of cake, only you call this a sandwich which makes you still sound like you are still sticking to your daily dietary allowance.
My original evil plan was to whip up honey roasted peanut butter (from a jar)...

Pavlova with Whipped Lemon Curd, Cream and...
Pavlova is a meringue basket or case, the best being of beautiful in appearance, with a crisp and soft texture, filled with cream and fruit. This is the national dessert of both Australia. The meringue is made from egg whites whisked with vinegar and a little cornflour (cornstarch) as well as sugar to give the crisp crust concealing a marshmallow inside. The whipped cream filling is topped with...

The Summer Romance of Al Fresco Dining
I believe that Al Fresco dining shouldn’t be reserved just for an intimate group of family or friends nor only just for two people to share a meal together.
I am all for practicing self-love once in a while and a dinner for one outside, with a good glass of wine to go with a single serving meal is as romantic a treat as we can possibly give ourselves most specially when about to face the...
