Hello everyone, and happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and welcomed 2017 with fresh perspective and motivation. Remember me? It has been a while since my last post. I want to share with you what I have been up to during my absence. My beloved and I have moved back […]

I can’t believe how close we are to the end of 2015! It makes me really happy to see Christmas decorations are already up in supermarkets and tell me, how many of you have started thinking of gift ideas? I am a fan of edible gifts. For the most part, I find making edible gifts […]

This post is brought to you by Coles Not too long ago, my mum raved about a clay pot rice that a family friend had cooked for her. The unexpected part was the clay pot “rice” was made by farro. I was quite intrigued by the idea of incorporating grains into Chinese cooking and it has […]

This sauce has become a regular in the Fuss Free Cooking […]
