February 25th, 2012 Sharon Bean soup….hmmm, I don’t really get the concept of bean soup because for us here in Malaysia, that’s more of a hot dessert thing. But I’m game to try anything Italian because I find sometimes the name sounds fancier and harder than it really is. The weather is a bit wonky these days. It gets [...]

February 9th, 2012 Sharon I have never made pesto before and I must confess that I’m not a real fan of the basil ones.

January 3rd, 2012 Sharon I love butternut squash, I personally think they have a better flavour to pumpkins but lately it’s been out of my budget to acquire more than I’d like to. So yeah, here I am always complaining about increasing food prices that you must be bored out of your wits to listen to me rant by [...]

October 23rd, 2011 Sharon Family size serving Let me tell you, cannellonis are not easy to find in M’sian grocers. It’s only lately I saw an influx of this pasta. Actually, I’m beginning to see an influx of different, more unusual varieties of pastas in stores like huge rigatonis and orecchiette.
