cold fusion – pineapple-coconut stack cake

May 3, 2013
Pineapple-Coconut Stack Cake

This cake is the culmination of a few ideas that co-mingled in the most opportune way. It all started with something called the Tennessee Stack Cake that I’ve read about a while ago. The fact that it’s made with layers of cookies–not cake–intrigued me.

Matcha-Azuki Cake w Azuki Meringue Icing

The fanciful pastel clothing flutters in the early [...]

Ginger Panna Cotta w Black Sesame Geleé

I have many fond memories of family rituals, most of which involved food, to no surprise—the Sunday congee brunch, weeknight dinners at home that ran like clockwork one dish after another, weekend afternoon tea and shopping with my grandmother, among others.

i’m not a seder schlimazel – almond pear-blueberry cake

March 30, 2012
Almond Pear-Blueberry Cake

When I posted my Spiced Apple Cake last year for Passover, I expressed my deepest desire to be invited to a Passover seder. (To get in the right mood, I did write the post while sampling bitter herbs.) The response was overwhelming–I received invites from all over the twitterverse. Though most of them were from [...]

Ginger-Lime Coconut Scones
