What is Sugee Cake? Sugee cake is essentially the Eastern counterpart of your regular butter cake. Originating from Malaysian and Singaporean ancestry, it is one cake that holds a sweet place in my heart. Also known as suji cake, Eurasians often serve this cake on special occasions such as birthdays, weddings, and New Year. Considering…
These days, Veganism and vegan foods have been on the rise as people take into account being responsible for the planet. Although I am not vegan myself, I usually try to avoid dairy as I have trouble digesting it. Because of this, I have explored many different alternative vegan dairy options, and have incorporated many…
All right, all right… I get it. This may sound crazy, but boxed cake mix is one of the best things to have in your kitchen. Like many other bakers, I used to believe that cake mix pales in comparison to cakes made from scratch. When done right, this is simply not true. Boxed cake…
I have been in bed with covid for the last week. Yes, after 2 years of restrictions and 3 vaccinations, I managed to get sick within 2 months of restrictions loosening. Despite the cough, fever, and fatigue, the worst outcome of my positive test so far is that I haven’t been able to go into…
I don’t know about you, but I’ve always been a fan of no-bake desserts that are easy to make and don’t take a lot of time. One of my favourites (that I discovered while I was trying to satisfy my sweet tooth one day), was this peanut butter and chocolate no bake recipe. I almost…
The weather this past week has been dreadful, leaving most of us holed up in our homes. While we may not be able to go out with friends or play sports outside (or go outside at all…), we can still learn a few new recipes. I posted a mochi brownie recipe a couple of months…
Do you ever feel like baking? Let me describe the perfect scenario when baking. You decide to bake, but you are not sure what to bake. You are craving something sweet, but not too sweet, and something that has a wow factor. As you look for an easy recipe, you stumble across a simple cookie…
Growing up, we have all heard the phrase “breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” However, throughout the years, I have found that this statement could not be more true. Whether you have a big test or a relaxing day ahead of you, breakfast is a truly important part of any day. So…
In April of 2021 I decided that I wanted to learn how to make focaccia. I had been in quarantine for just over a year when my feed had suddenly been bombarded by photos, videos, and seemingly over complicated recipes for this dish. I handled this how any sane person would: by researching focaccia recipes…
During the winter months, I’m pretty sure everyone craves a warm bowl of soup sometimes. Vegetable soups have a special place in my heart, especially potato and tomato soup. Today, I’ll be sharing one of my family’s favourite potato soup recipes that we make without fail almost every winter. There are quite a few ingredients,…
Crunch! As your friend chews on the slightly burnt part of her bread, she slowly yanks the smooth cheese. She eats her bread so seamlessly. Meanwhile, you have yet to finish the same salad that you pack for school almost every day. But change is always fun, and maybe it’s time that you treat your…
Gilgeori toast is a very popular snack in South Korea. It directly translates to “street toast”, which is fitting as it is often sold on the streets.

Nearing the end of the week, many of us begin to run out of groceries and more importantly, our patience. When this happens in my house, the dish I make is Thai red curry. It’s a simple curry dish that is comforting, effortless and most importantly, a great way to get rid of leftovers. Today,…
I’m one of those people whose skin, mood, and overall wellness is determined by the foods I eat. Over the holidays I can confidently say that I overindulged in sugary foods, making me feel horrible and ruining the clear skin that I worked so hard for during previous months. My eyes are also weak, so…
