Join me on my quest of making homemade treats with less sugar!
I feel like that I have dedicated myself to making cookies the entire March. I’ve shared different cookie recipes like No Bake Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Energy Balls, Chocolate Chip Cookies as well as Triple Chocolate Cookies previously this month (how come they all contain chocolate chips?). This time I am sharing a wholesome one made... Continue Reading →
I've made some Chocolate Chip Cookies last week but I was still craving for something more chocolately. So off I went to my kitchen again. As its name suggests, these triple chocolate cookies were made with three kinds of chocolate: cocoa powder, couverture chocolate and dark chocolate chips. If you are a chocoholic you will...

I've developed a recipe for Dark Chocolate Chip Soft Cookies more than three years ago. The use of bread flour and melted butter gives the cookies a soft and chewy texture. With a more traditional version this time, the cookies are more on the crunchy side. In fact, the softness could be adjusted by varying... Continue Reading →
These no-bake protein energy balls are loaded with nutritious ingredients such as flaxseed, chia seeds and oats. Natural peanut butter is used as a binding agent. They are naturally gluten-free, egg-free and can possibly be dairy-free (and hence, vegan) too if the chocolate chips are either omitted or replaced by cacao nibs or vegan chocolate...

Here comes spritz cookies again! These cookies have same structure with Viennese Sablés but I flavoured them with matcha (green tea) powder. There is a subtle green tea flavor and the use of egg yolk makes the cookies extra crumbly. Even my kids who seldom eat green tea treat said the cookies were scrumptious. 再來擠花曲奇食譜！曲奇基本配方來自維也納曲奇，EC加了抹茶粉調味。因為改用了蛋黃所以曲奇份外酥鬆。曲奇散發着淡淡綠茶香，連EC甚少吃綠茶食品的孩子們也稱讚好吃。... Continue Reading →
Spritz cookies can be a little tricky to make. I have heard complaints about the batter being too stiff to handle and that the cookies losing shape in the oven. In order to be successful, it is crucial for the batter to be at the right consistency. For how to achieve the optimal consistency without... Continue Reading →
I have been experimenting with cookie recently. It is just a simple cookie recipe that is shaped by piping but I’ve spent two weeks to compare various ingredients in order to find out what texture I prefer most. EC這陣子都在研究曲奇。其實這只是材料及做法簡單不過的擠花牛油曲奇，但EC花了兩星期做實驗比較材料以便尋找自己最喜歡的口感。 The ingredients being used is extremely important in creating the cookie that you wish for. Preference... Continue Reading →
I prepared a macaron tower for my friend’s wedding banquet over the past weekend. The three designs were inspired by floral and tea flavors and sakura was one of them. I used pickled sakura (cherry blossom) as decoration and paired it up with white chocolate ganache. This sweet and salty combination was pretty good. EC於過去週末為朋友的婚宴做了馬卡龍塔，以花及茶為題設計了三種馬卡龍口味，以鹽漬櫻花作裝飾的馬卡龍是其中一款。馬卡龍以白朱古力醬作餡料，變出甜中帶咸的組合，EC覺得味道不錯。... Continue Reading →
This was another macaron flavor I tested over the previous couple of weeks. I got a bag of dried lavender buds from my friend so I was eager to try it on my macarons. The shells were made with the Swiss method as in my Earl Grey and Orange Macarons. Instead of using Earl Grey... Continue Reading →
I am sharing with you today a macaron recipe that is prepared with a less known method -- the Swiss meringue method. To make a Swiss meringue, egg whites and sugar are placed together in a mixing bowl and then warmed over a double boiler until sugar is dissolved. The mixture is then whipped at... Continue Reading →
