Quick & Easy Moist Gluten-Free Brownies 简易湿润无麸质布朗尼 （中英加图食谱）

It's been a long time since I last shared a recipe here. These days I'm busier guiding my boy who is in the Gifted education programme (GEP) on top of doing my endless household chores. 

Well, this doesn't mean that I've stopped baking or sharing recipes. I'm still active in sharing recipes as well as my food adventures but over at Instagram (IG). So do click 'HERE' and follow me on Instagram if you would like to see more frequent and active updates from me. :) Now and then, I will share videos of my food preparations in IG stories which last for 24 hours after posting, you can also find the past IG videos at the highlights where my Instagram bio is.

Here's sharing a really simple brownie recipe which I've baked last Friday for my boy's 11th birthday. A gluten-free and fuss free recipe as no mixer is required at all!

Low-Fat Almond Butter Cake 低脂杏仁奶油蛋糕 （中英加图对照食谱）

Finally, the kids are back to school today after a month of school holidays! I've not been blogging for the past weeks as the June school holidays have kept me really busy. With the kids around, I hardly have time for myself and also I'm involved in a new project and am so EXCITED about it! (it's a secret now but I'll tell you when the time is right, ok? ;p)  

已将近一个月没在这儿与大家分享了。六月的学校假期，孩子们没上学，全职妈妈的我特别忙碌，几乎每天都安排一些活动与孩子们互动，没什么个人时间。同时，也参与了一个新项目而感到非常兴奋！ （暂时是个秘密，时机成熟会告诉大家的！）

Today I'm sharing one of my three recipes which was published in the 'Gourmet Living Magazine' April/May 2016 issue.
今天要与大家分享在‘食尚品味’四/五月杂志刊登的其中之一食谱。

Banana Blueberry Yogurt Pound Cake 香蕉蓝莓优格磅蛋糕 （中英加图对照食谱）

I haven't bake a pound cake for quite some time and decided to try a new flavour. Since I've got honey greek yogurt, bananas and blueberries at home, I decided to combine these ingredients to bake a healthy one, at the same time try out my new Mastrad Savarin Cake pan. This cake turns out moist even though butter is cut substantially. This is due to the generous amount of Greek-style yogurt and mashed bananas which are healthy substitutes for fat in this recipe. 

好久没烤磅蛋糕了，也想尝试新口味， 就做了这健康的香蕉蓝莓优格磅蛋糕。这食谱用了大量的希腊式优格和香蕉，所以即使奶油的份量减了许多，蛋糕的质感依然湿润。 

Chocolate Eclairs 耶克蕾亚泡芙 （中英加图对照食谱）

A happy and blessed 2016 New Year to all my readers! 

Sharing my first bake of the year - my first attempt to bake Chocolate Eclairs. Eclair is a french word meaning lightning, rumor has it that it came about because a pastry chef would joke that this cake is so good that it is gobbled up as fast as lightning! It is a hollow, log-shaped shell of choux pastry that is filled with vanilla, chocolate, or coffee flavored pastry cream. The top of the pastry is usually dipped into a vanilla, chocolate, or coffee flavored glaze or fondant.

Milo Ice-Cream (eggless version) 美禄巧克力冰淇淋- 无蛋版（中英加图对照食谱）

Hope you have enjoyed my creation of the Milo Ferrero Rocher Swiss Roll in my last post. This time I am gonna share another personal creation which also got the big thumbs up from my family. This Milo frozen treat can be made with or without an ice-cream maker and definitely cheers us up in this time of hazy condition in Singapore caused by the Indonesia fires. 

创作了美禄金沙巧克力卷后，又创作了无蛋版的美禄冰淇淋，家人一样赞好吃，好开心！即使没有家用冰淇淋器也一样可以做​的​出来！

Due to the deterioration of air quality, my family has been keeping all doors and windows shut (hubby even bought air-tight tapes to stick on the windows and doors to ensure a tight seal to prevent any air from coming through) and making our IQAir Healthpro air-purifier work extra hard. We are also diligent in donning our N95 masks when the PSI level hits unhealthy level.  

We are kind of disturb to see many people taking the haze too lightly and still do not wear N95 mask (surgical masks, tissues or handkerchiefs will not protect you at all!) at outdoors. According to Wikipedia, the PM 2.5 particles which made up the majority of haze particles is the deadliest form of air pollution due to their ability to penetrate deep into the lungs and blood streams unfiltered, causing DNA mutations, heart attacks, premature death and lung cancer, thus even short-term exposure can be damaging!   

Hence, I do urge my Singaporean and Malaysian readers to take good care during this haze period and be proactive in taking care of your own/family's health. 

Butter Cake (Famous Mrs NgSK) 奶油蛋糕 (中英食谱教程)

  

This famous Mrs NgSK butter cake recipe needs no introduction. It is so raved about in the bloggersphere and everyone who tried it deem it the best butter cake they have ever made. This recipe uses the egg separation method and yields a light, soft, moist and fragrant butter cake.

这著名的Mrs NgSK 奶油蛋糕不需要我太多的介绍，因为好多博友们试过了都赞不绝口, 也认为是做过最好吃的奶油蛋糕。 食谱的制做过程中使用了分蛋打发方式，做出来的奶油蛋糕轻盈, 柔软, 湿润又香气十足。

I have used this Mastrad mini bundt mould (made of premium silicon, easy to hold safety handles, easy to demould and odourless) to make some small and dainty cakes in different flavours using natural ingredients like organic vanilla paste, uji matcha powder and cocoa powder. This is my trial bake here and I intend to make this again for my kids' teachers for the upcoming teacher's day. 

我用了这款Mastrad法式优质硅胶的迷你蛋糕模，试做了一些小而纤巧的奶油蛋糕。用了三种天然材料 - 含有香草籽的有机香草糊，宇治抹茶粉和可可粉做了三种不同口味的，都很好吃。

 I have also received a box of Mastrad macaron kit to try out. 

Using this kit, I have made a batch of French method Macarons and I am so glad that it is successful on my first attempt! Though it is not very tall, it is close to the ideal macaron which should have a perfect circle with solid smooth bases, have a ruffled “skirt” or “feet” along the edges where it has risen in the oven, taste slightly chewy and yet crunchy! 

Smooth and Creamy Vanilla Custard 柔顺又滑腻的香草卡士达奶油 （中英食谱教程）

Here's a nice, smooth and creamy vanilla custard which I have made 2 days ago and would like to share it with you. It is also my first time using vanilla bean. Yes, no kidding, I have only used vanilla extract and vanilla paste in my bakes so far. 

这是两天前做的香草奶油，觉得口味很棒，跟大家分享。这也是我第一次使用香草荚。烘烤至今只用过纯香草精和香草糊。
