More baking recipessssssss

=)

I am starting this blog with a great smile. This is because I am so happy that I have finally found these two cookbooks on baking.

The first book is edited by Alex Goh, a famous cake-making expert. It consists of English and Chinese translations, which makes it so much easier in acquiring ingredients. Level of difficulty is shown in each recipe and there are tips in making them. What I love is that it covers five basics cake recipes, ie: sponge cake, butter cake, cheesecake, chiffon cake and continental cake, all with clear step to step explanations and pictures to demonstrate. The best things are the accuracy of the recipes and the teachings on the use of each ingredients. Only one word to describe: all -inclusive!

The second one comprises recipes of Hong Kong Dim Sum and Pastry. They are not normally my favourites, but my" sifu" will love it. Or perhaps I should say that I have never tried to make these kind of pastry-they're too high up in the pyramid. XD One dumpling-making-from-scratch session really showed me the complication and hardship.

Anyway, my dear baking buddies, we have plenty to explore......... =D

My yummy cheesecake~~

It has been quite a long while ago since I last made a cheesecake. I was asked by a friend to show her the way of making it. With "keen determination" I made my favourite rich New York Style Cheesecake (with fresh strawberry from the garden) at 1am yesterday. It sounds like a hard work, but it's surely worth it! hehe... Ok the biscuit base is bit too thick, but that's how my cousins like it ^_^

Actually now thinking about it, I learnt this recipe nearly 5 years ago. But until now I am still making the same thing and have not improved the recipe =_= I should feel ashamed. Err, I need to be more adventurous next time. How does a tofu cheesecake sound? I found the recipe ages ago but still not dare to try it. Perhaps Baked chocolate cheesecake is next.

PS: It seems that I have linked this cheesecake with my first bf :) hehe so funny lar...

PPS: Anyone has any idea what to bake?? cookies, cake, desserts or pastry?
