Gochugaru Girl had a long conversation with KL Sister this morning.
The subject was this: the perfect cake for the Christmas season.
Recipes
Sesame Prawns on Toast
Gochugaru Girl has had another long day of church meetings.
The week has not ended and there are more meetings tomorrow.
Banana and Sesame Cake
Gochugaru Girl loves sesame seeds.
In fact, crushing them by hand is a very therapeutic thing to do.
Pickled Carrot and Radish Salad
Gochugaru Girl attended a very interesting lecture on the Ming Dynasty recently.
Uniquely, the lecture was not about vases but about food.
88 ways to know you are Chinese
Gochugaru Girl once sent this list, of unknown provenance, to her mother.
Incredulously, she thought I had written it.
Orange, Honey and Ginger Cake
Gochugaru Girl is a bit embarrassed to admit that she made a mistake with her latest cake.
In my desperation to prevent dehydration, I misread the recipe and drank the orange juice instead of putting it in the cake.
Fresh Soya Milk
Gochugaru Girl was advised this week to drink more.
It is a good thing the consultant didn’t say I should eat less.
Japchae (잡채)
Gochugaru Girl has been consulting a treasured book on noodles.
This book* has been sitting on my shelf for 15 years, and re-reading it shows how much London, and I, have changed.
Cranberry and Orange Cake
Gochugaru Girl is not happy with the sudden change in weather.
Much as I like collecting umbrellas, I really prefer not to use them.
