Hearty Vegetable Stew for Meatless Monday

Hearty Vegetable Stew

Happy Meatless Monday everyone!

First things first, I am glad to report that dear microwave of mine survived its water ordeal and did not drown. I am so relieved that we do not need to get a new microwave.

Steamed Chinese Herbal Chicken

Hello everyone!

Yes, I am back after a long absence! Not sure whether that is a good thing or not for you, but I am hopeful that it is good. 

After a splendid 6-weeks with family and friends in Malaysia where I was truly spoilt rotten, I am back in the UK. The first week was downright busy, just trying to clear stuff and organise our storage space as well as doing some gardening. I planted some bamboo as well as some winter violas. I am now willing them to grow and flourish. 

Strawberries & Cream Chiffon Cake

Strawberries and Cream Chiffon Cake

Hello! I realised that I have been cooking and baking a lot but I haven't had the time to sort out all the photos and blog! Really need to get more organised. I guess it is hard to stick to a schedule when you are on vacation but at the same time there should not be any excuses.I also need to compile a collage of all the photos of food that I have consumed in the past 3 weeks or so. Maybe, maybe not - it is a scary thing when you look back at the amount of food that you ate! Perhaps ignorance is really bliss in this context.

Enough of that, remember my previous post on the Original Chiffon Cake? Well, I got an idea, also from the same book, to take the cake a step further and make it into a light strawberries and cream chiffon cake. Oh look at that, isn't it perfect for afternoon tea?
