This week I’m continuing my journey of using tea in desserts, because I’m absolutely in love! I used Earl Grey tea in these scones with a touch of sumo citrus zest. It has super soft crumb and slightly crunchy exterior…and the tea flavour just brings so much depth to it. Happy baking! ☕️🍊

Hi guys, the egg tart recipe is up! I hesitate to call this Portuguese style egg tart because the crust is not done in a traditional manner. That being said, this is my favorite liquid custard recipe, so easy to make and browns perfectly. If you don’t have time to make the crust, store brought crust works just as well. Happy baking!

Hi everyone, the cream cheese chiffon cake video is out! Chiffon is both easy and hard to make. Easy as the ingredients are easy to find: you probably already have them in your fridge. Hard as in it's quite technical: but I've broken it down with detailed explanations in the subtitle. If I can give one piece of advice for making the perfect cake, it's to read the recipe thoroughly, prepare your ingredients before you start, and just go without hesitating. Happy baking! https://youtu.be/EXmJLmwpFIY

Hi everyone! Hope you enjoy the new video about jam I posted. Normally we have to cook jam for around an hour to achieve desired consistency, but it’s time consuming and dulls the flavour of the fruits. In this video, I will use a method popular in professional kitchen where we do a night of maceration and only around 15min of cooking the second day. The addition of glucose helps to lower the sweetness level while acting as a natural preservative. You’ll see the difference in flavour and texture once you try! Happy jam making 🍊
