Chocolate Truffles »
These truffles were made from my leftover chocolate filling for the milan cookies. I didn’t get to use much of it because I only had few cookies that were “perfect”.
Truffles are easy to do, but it can get pretty messy especially if you have warm hands like me, it will help if you touch [...]
Leche Flan Cake (Custard Cake) »
Since I started baking I am in quest for recipes of my favorite childhood treats and I try to re-create them at home for my children, especially since some of them are not readily available now. This flan cake is one of them.

[...]
Chicken Tetrazzini »
I first heard of Tetrazzini from Tyler Florence’s Food 911 show, if you’re not familiar with that, it was a show from the Food Network where Tyler answers a person’s kitchen emergency, he would go to their house personally and rescue their recipes, sort of.
Anyway, there’s this episode where he helped a woman make hearty [...]
How To Make Chicken Stock »
I have never made a chicken stock ever before. I usually just replace it with water when a recipe calls for it or use a boullion instead, but I seldom use that one too because of its MSG content.
Another way I replaced chicken stock in a recipe is by pre-cooking the meat by boiling it [...]
