  • Pineapple Tarts

    Pineapple Tarts

    Pineapple tarts are small pastries filled with pineapple jam. They are commonly eaten in different parts of Asia: Malaysia, Singapore, China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

    They are made with a crumbly pastry base and a paste made with pineapple cooked and caramelized in sugar and spices.

    Considered a must-have ‘festive cookie’, pineapple tarts are usually eaten during Chinese New Year, Hari Raya (Eid el Fitr) and Deepavali and are offered to the guest and family.

    There are several shapes of these biscuits depending on the country: roll, dumpling, tart…But the recipe for these biscuits does not change so feel free to be creative on the shapes! 

  • Salted Caramel Chocolate Tart

    Salted Caramel Chocolate Tart

    The salted caramel chocolate tart in my opinion is one of the best desserts I can eat. The chocolate ganache and the salted caramel go perfectly together and it is so easy and quick to make.

    This cake is literally the bomb… a calorie bomb but it’s totally worth it. It melts in your mouth and you only crave it even more!

    The ingredients for the caramel are listed on here but the recipe for it can be found on here.

  • Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Chocolate Chip Cookies are small, dry, round biscuits with chocolate chips and originated from the United States.

    These fluffy chocolate chip cookies are secret weapons when you do not know what to bring to a social event. They are also a classic favorite to give to children. Once baked, these soft biscuits are crispy on sides and the middle melts in your mouth.

    This traditional recipe combines dough composed of butter, both brown and white sugar, semi-sweet chocolate chips and vanilla. There are many variations of this recipe and are not limited to the use of just chocolate. You can use with other types of chocolate as well as swap some ingredients for peanut butter, banana or oatmeal.

  • Galette des rois

    Galette des rois

    The ‘Galette des Rois’ is typically a French tradition that celebrates the Epiphany. This celebration derived from the night the three kings (wise men) Gaspard, Balthazar, and Melchior, voyaged to pay their tribute to one of the world’s most famous enfant born on earth, bringing with them gifts.

    This tradition has lost much of its religious significance over the years. For many French families, this tradition has become a day where the family gathers and shares a Galette des Rois (a puff pastry pie filled with a smooth mixture of frangipane, a mixture of both almond and pastry cream, and finished by hiding a small charm in the frangipane).

    The most important part of this tradition is the ritual that goes along with it. The youngest child of the family must hide underneath the table while an adult cuts the Galette. The hiding child must then call out which slice goes to whom, in order for it to be totally random. Whoever gets the charm in their slice is the King (or Queen) for the day and gets to wear the golden paper crown, that the Galette typically comes with. Also that person has to pick who will be their Queen or King for the day.
