2 days, 2 cheesecakes!

I guess I just have some 'cheesecake' mood recently- one cheesecake a day! Well, the real reason is that I happen to have so many friends who are really big fan of cheesecakes. And I'm just such a good person XP.
I tried two recipes: the first is a really 'heavy' one-lots of cream cheese, some sour cream, a little bit butter.
 The second contains similar amount of cream cheese, sour cream and heavy cream. They are quite different, but both are amazing! With more cheese, the heavier one is so rich and cheesy, vs. the lighter one is more moist and soft, but rich still.
 (I also tried a 'light' version before, using only cream cheese and milk- it melts in your mouth!)
The recipes are from some Japanese bakers. I really like Japanese cheesecakes, which seem to be more delicate. (I used to think there couldn't be bad cheesecakes, until I tried some ones literally with NO cheese flavor, and super sweet!) Be nice to yourself, from making your own cheesecakes :)

How to feed A BOYFRIEND when you have no intention to cook

I had almost given up cooking before my boyfriend! I've always been enjoying spending time in the kitchen, but, often time, I just gave in to my laziness. Plus, I had my perfect excuses: 1. I'm a busy phD student; 2. I'm spending most of my "kitchen time" baking. So I'm really used to a rather simple meal plan myself: homemade bread for breakfast, salad for lunch and yogurt for dinner. (I try to balance the protein and starch in it, so, don't worry, I can totally be filled up.) With all my passion (and time), I made bread for myself and cakes for friends. However, all these routine somehow changed when I started to take on the responsibility to feed someone- someone who is an ultimate meat lover, who hates salad (I mean, all the green leaves), who would never join my meal plan. Alas, the game completely changed- only I'm still the lazy girl as I've always been. So I came up with a couple of tricks for the "game": 1. Make it simple...

First bread in my new kitchen: Thomas Keller's multigrain batard

Follow my blog with Bloglovin Isn't spring the moving season? Yes, to me I guess as I've been moving for two years in a row at this time of year. Sadly I finally moved out from the glorious upper east side of New York after being there for 4 years (can't believe! is it that long already??), to the "humble" Queens.. However, after I moved in, I'm starting to love my neighborhood. There is actually quite a few to explore and to discover (I mean, hmm, restaurant) in Queens. Indeed, I can't just improvise to make a call to order some Chinese food delivered to my door, or walk to the French bakery a few blocks away whenever I want. Luckily I can opt to make my own.  With a good multigrain bread, some jam/spread, slices of good cheese, I am considering myself having a perfect breakfast/brunch. Of course, the world is even better if there is a cup of tea :) Multigrain batards are the most frequently-ordered bread I do in store- they're crust...

I hope it is a good start- devil's food cake&red bean cream&chocolate glazing

I could have one thousand reasons to open a blog- just about some random pieces of life, my crazy ideas, people I hate and love, and most importantly, my love about baking!!! But I was so hesitant to actually do so (OK, I admit that lameness is one of the reasons), coz I'm not satisfied with the pictures I take! I was looking at the hundreds of pretty pictures on several popular food blog, enjoying and complaining- since when has photographing become an essential life skill besides computer and replacing the bulbs?!! (I'm good at neither btw.)  After all, I do want to present my cakes in a more pleasant way. So here is the decision I just made: I'm going to work hard on photographing. Hopefully the blog can see my growing~~~~ The small cakes are adapted from Thomas Keller's devil food cake. Love the rich chocolateness 'enriched' by mayonnaise! I added red bean flavored cream (so popular in Asian sweets!) between two cake layers, and glazed the layer ca...
