As the title denotes, these Spirals are made from the Danish dough. It is to be noted that it is important to make a full recipe of danish dough or the sufficient layering will not be achieved, although you only need half of the dough. An 'oven proof' jam containing a gelling agent that will not not melt out during baking is preferable. Look out for the 'gelling agent' under the 'ingredients'

Chicken Picatta/Piccata The word 'piccata' or 'picatta' (wish i know which is the correct spelling cos both should sound the same) is generally associated with veal. but the chicken piccata recipe is more popular. Deliciously rich, lemony flavored and it is even made better by the fact it's so simple to prepare. The term 'chicken piccata' is quite a generic one and it gives the gourmets among us

These Swans are made from Choux Paste which is also known as 'pate a choux' of which the French term means 'cabbage paste', so deemed because of the cabbage-like appearance of small cream puffs. There are two schools of thought when baking with choux paste. One method is to bake the dough at an extremely high temperature, approximately 425f(219c) for a short period of time to cause steam to

This is a very popular dish in Asia which appears on the dinning table during any asian festivals. It is very deliciously sinful, mouth watering. Taste the intense flavour and the fats of the pork melting in your mouth. . The preserved Mui Choy (dried salted veggie but sweet) has a nice balance which is light tasting and goes well with the meat soft texture. This dish might not be so

Iranian food (also referred to as Persian food) is some of the most delicious and fresh in its region. It is also quite healthy, using only small amounts of red meat (usually lamb or beef), emphasizing larger amounts of grains (especially rice), fruits, and vegetables. Although it is often lumped under the category of general "Middle Eastern" fare, the Iranian cuisine is able to retain its

Food in Egypt - Egyptian Food, Egyptian CuisineIt has been some time since I blogged about Egypt. Being one of the oldest civilisations in the world, Egypt sure stands out for retaining its traditions and culture. If I were to put on Egyptian outfits, wrap my head with the 25 pounds and stay in Egypt for a little while longer, I might really brainwash myself that I’m living in the ancient world.
