Chicken Tagine with Quinces

My friend V kindly shared several quinces with me. (Thanks, V!) This is my first time in the kitchen with quinces - part I: savoury. I tried this recipe I stumbled upon online a little while ago.


It was very tasty!! A bed of couscous plays a supporting role really well here.

The dish is supposed to be "pretty darn hot", but I didn't find it so at all. My tolerance for spicy food might have changed a bit lately... wonder why?

Apple Cinnamon Muffin

Apple compote, cinnamon and toffee bits - together they made my entire apartment smell very autumn-y.

Tiramisu Eclairs

I moved from Vancouver to Coquitlam two weeks ago, and here's the very first thing I made in my *new* teeny tiny kitchen. Filling is made from mascarpone cheese, whipping cream, icing sugar, and instant coffee granules. I wanted to add some vanilla extract but couldn't find it (I'm still unpacking & organizing...). Eclair shells turned out pretty well, I think.

Green Tea Chiffon cake

This is the first chiffon cake I baked in almost 12 months, and probably it'll be the last chiffon cake made in this teeny tiny kitchen...


I used the instant green tea powder from Itoen.
