Black Sesame and Banana Cake
Diary: 13 October
Desperate situations call for desperate measures.

Fresh Ginger and Cranberry Cake
Today’s cake reminds me of a recent Korean Drama.

Gochugaru Corn
This is the sweetcorn dish that accompanied our roast lamb dinner.
Here is the story of how it came about.

This cake is quite special, being both gluten and dairy-free.
Its topping is a marriage of East and West, being a combination of Korean honey citrus and French marmalades.

Diary: 04 September
We woke up this morning to a lovely smell emanating from the kitchen.
This is the day we tuck into our communal dinner.
