Cranberry-Pistachio Biscotti
After having tried multiple biscotti recipes over the years, this one is hands-down my favorite. The biscotti itself is firm after the second bake (as it should be) but not rock hard and hence, can be indulged as is, which is something I love to do! They are soooooo delicious!!! Enjoy! Slightly adapted from the […]
Malaysian Durian
It had been a long time since I had a decent durian. Hence, I couldn’t resist when I saw a good-looking batch of Mao Shan Wang durian at an Asian store in downtown Cleveland. Paid about $20 for a tiny one but absolutely worth it! The flesh was thick and creamy and had a delicious, […]
Tau Hu Hua (Soybean Pudding)
Tau Hu Hua, Tau Fu Fah, Douhua – it doesn’t matter how you say or spell it, it refers to a silky tofu dessert that is typically served with plain or ginger-flavored sugar syrup…..although lately, I have preferred it with palm sugar syrup instead.

Coffee Chiffon Cake
One of the best features of chiffon cakes is that they make a delightful afternoon (or anytime actually) snack and an elegant dessert at the same time. Here’s a simple but absolutely delicious coffee-flavored chiffon cake to usher in the new year. Enjoy! 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1-1/4 cups sugar, divided 1 tablespoon baking powder […]
Cranberry and Almond Citrus Biscotti
Over the years, I have tried a variety of biscotti recipes and this is the one I always come back to. The biscotti itself is hard (as it should be) but not rock hard and hence, can be indulged as is, which is something I love to do. At the same time, it softens wonderfully […]
