Greek yogurt lemon cake with poppy seeds

I decided to bake a cake on this lazy Sunday. When summer is here I always crave for citric fruits. They are so refreshing and makes my apartment smell wonderful.

This recipe is based on a quatre quarts cake, for a summer-y touch I added lemon to it. The Greek yogurt will make it more moist.

Cinnamon Rolls with Pecan Nuts

Hi everyone! I know I went AWOL in February, it was a crazy month at work.

Anyway, I’m back with a recipe for cinnamon rolls with pecan nuts. Nuts are quite expensive in Hong Kong and it’s not easy to find a big variety of them. However, my friend introduced me to this tiny shop in Sheung Wan where they sell all kinds of nuts: pecan nuts, hazelnuts, walnuts,...etc. they even have dried fruits like cranberry and occasionally they have dried figs.

Weekend Crèpes

Happy Saturday everyone! It's quite chilly today and what is better than lounging in your sofa, covered by a fleece blanket and surrounded by millions of cushions? Crèpes and hot cocoa perhaps?
These delicious flat disks are so easy to make, I've been making them since I was a child. My favourite topping is dark brown sugar. What about you, what is your favourite topping?

Hot cocoa with cinnamon

My craving for hot chocolate has been build up due to the chilly weather these past days. Rather than complaining about missing our central heating and the Christmas markets, I decided to make myself a cup of good ol’ cocoa. So today is the day, it’s a hot chocolate kind of day!

Instead of real chocolate, I’m using cocoa powder here. I know, I can hear you say why, but chocolate is expensive here. Even the cocoa powder is brought to me by my mum and sister who came to visit. But, I can assure you, you won't taste the powder!
