I wanted to add something new to my bread so decided to try five-grain powder that is believed to be health preserving. I replaced 30% of the flour with five-grain powder at first.

I bought a jar of dark chocolate spread from Lindt store last month, planning to spread it on my bread for breakfast. Then I thought, hm… why don’t I make bread out of it?

Now I’d like to elaborate more. This time … Continue reading Piped Vanilla Bean Shortbread Cookies 雲尼拿唧花牛油曲奇

I shared all my pictures and recipes initially on my page but then I started to realize that it was quite inconvenient for me or my readers to look for a particular recipe. Finally I purchased my own domain … Continue reading Chocolate Chiffon Cake 朱古力戚風蛋糕
