Tarts and Pies

Chocolate and banana again, well I think it’s one of the best combination in the food world, haha. Actually I happen to love both of them, they are great on their own and the best when coming together. I feel like there are nothing much to say about this kind of dessert, only that I...

It’s raining everyday, and it makes me want to sit down and read a book rather than doing anything else. Esp. shooting a video, it’s hard to make it beautiful in a weather like this, as I use only natural light. Anyway, I still live my life in the kitchen, ^^ having good time testing...

I have a lot of limes now, and the best thing that I can do is using them ^^. Using lime is a bit different from lemon as it has sharp tangy taste while lemon has a hint of sweetness. The first version of this tart was not as good as I expected, I tried...

 After 10 days of Hokkaido trip, I came back to my daily life again, ^^. I had a great time, and I will (try my best, hehe) to write about it and hope you will fall in love with Hokkaido too. But before talking about the trip, we need something to eat. This quiche is...

First, I want to try the recipe, second, I have a lot of strawberry in the fridge, haha, so it’s the reason why you see this tart in my blog. And the result is a lovely and delicious tart. The recipe comes from the book: キッシュ&タルト (quiche &tart) by  三宅 郁美 (Ikumi Miyake) If you...

^^, I know many people wait for this recipe, well after I talked about the puff pastry ( “inverse puff pastry”, or “Pâte feuilletée inversée”) in my blog and my page. I have a chance to post the recipe, finally.  Apple Jalousie is very easy to make if you have the puff pastry and don’t worry...

I made a lot of Macerated Dried Fruit Mix as I knew that there are many things that I want to do with it. Well, many of you asked me about Macerated Dried Fruit Mix, because most people think that it can only be used for making fruitcake. But the fact is there are many ways to use...

There are a load of banoffee pie recipes, and many of them using dulce de leche, that’s not easy to buy in some place. Plus, the homemade one is not easy to make (and I think it’s too sweet for my taste too). So when I really want to make the banoffee, I had to...

 I was really busy last week, so many things to do, so little time ^^”. Most of the things that I had to do was related to house renovation.   But everything is almost done, I can use my kitchen now (not fully function but almost!!!). So start from this week I have to put all...

I still try to test the recipe from my (too many) cookbooks, I know that I still have a lot to try, and a lot to taste (hehehe, the best part of baking is eating, right?). So, I feel my day that has 24 hours is very short, because I can bake only 2-3 things...
