Cheese cake!!! No need to bake this time :D

I went to a party last weekend, which means I got to bake something AGAIN! Yay! I mean, right now bringing the desserts seems to have been my routine. I'm actually pretty happy about this- my baking has been finally approved, to some extent, and I need someone to share those calories when I just want to play with cream and butter so much <(￣︶￣)>
But as I didn't want to spend a whole day on a fancy protocol, I mean, recipe lol, I went for the NO-BAKE cheese cake. It was sort of like a pudding; the texture was built up by cream cheese, egg yolk and gelatin. It was SO simple- mix all the ingredient, pour on a shortbread crust, and let it cool down in the fridge for 4 hours till it doesn't flow. To make it more presentable, I spread some whipped cream topped with fresh blueberries. The recipe is as follow, still in Chinese, though...http://www.xiachufang.com/recipe/1074414/
Btw, all my friends loved my cheese cake. (I heard "btw" in English actually means "Wait, I'm going to say the most important thing XP)

Continue the whole crepe theme: cocoa& banana infused crepe cake

I've been making crepe cakes in a row for three weeks! That sounds ridiculous even to myself, but I just like to keep practicing one recipe until I finally feel happy about it. As a result, I never get the have the 'beliked' cakes often. Now, after my crepe cake battle, I did learn some tricks, especially about how to have really thin crepes. Let's have some troubleshooting, shall we? For those who are not familiar with crepe cakes, or care only about how they taste but never bother to know how they're made, crepe cakes are assembled by layers of crepes, filled with cream in between. To make a crepe cake, you make the crepes individually, let them cool, and layer them to compose the cake with the cream as 'glue'. The whole process is nothing fancy, just get your 'bricks and cement' ready and be a good builder! What is tricky are the quality of your materials, in other words, to get your crepes as thin as possible. There are professional crepe ...

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...

Mooncakes from scratch: what I learn from both BAKING& EXPERIMENTS

Here comes my yearly tradition: making my own moon cakes! You know, it is Chinese tradition that everyone should make moon cakes on Mid-autumn Festival (Moon cake Festival)- just KIDDING... But we do eat those sweet& delicate cakes on that day every year, and you can always find them in Chinatown if you're ever curious how they taste. Since I moved to US, I've more&more realized that I never really appreciated things I easily reached to enough, such as moon cakes. I used to have tons of well-packaged moon cakes at home, fancy-looking and of so many different flavors. And I used to complain quite a lot about having to consume them while they're always too sweet for me. I NEVER imagined it is so complicated to make good, authentic moon cakes. Basically, to make your own mooncakes from scratch, you need to make some special caramel syrup for the dough, slowly saute bean paste to dehydrate them and render the filling, and last but not least to use extrem...
