THE WEDDING THAT WAS



My son Nik and his bride Jun cutting their wedding cake.

The atmosphere turned out just the way I imagined and hoped it would be. Intimate, informal, sweet and beautiful. The wedding cake was as perfect as I wanted it to be. The theme was vintage. The flower girl as cute as a cherry pie. The bride and groom gorgeous. And the weather was perfect.

I couldn't have asked for more. I'm grateful. Alhamdulillah.

Will update more photos once they are ready.

AUNT MONTEL'S SUGEE CAKE

Gambar
She must have been about 17 or 18 and I about 4 or 5 because I remember standing in my grandaunt's kitchen having agreed, with a nod, to a cookie or something when my young aunt had asked me if I wanted a snack. Kneeling in front of me she tried to coax and bribe me out of my shyness so that I asked for it by speaking up. I couldn't.  So I simply stood there, blinking, head down, tongue tied while I felt my lips pursing up, hoping she would give it to me still because I really, really wanted it. And of course she did.  That was my first memory of my Aunt Montel. Thirty years on I found myself coaxing recipes from her instead. Recipes that she would not normally share because those were her trade secrets.  Food was a constant in her home even at the oddest hours.  I think she was born with a whisk and a wok in each hand and landed feet first in the kitchen. She was a foodie in every sense of the word. Sadly, she passed on a couple of months ago, a little too early. Sh...

BACK TO BASICS ~ HOME MADE BUTTER

Gambar
This is a truly inspired post. Inspired by the talented Quinn of  Quinn's Baking Diary. Quinn has not blogged about this yet but she had facebooked it.  I was smitten and so were many of her facebook friends. And I promised her I would make this since over beating is in my nature. Indeed if there is anything that I will over beat to a hilt and without a quiver of guilt in the future it will surely be cream. Yes Ma'am. When I had created the butter I felt like a little Miss Dairy Queen who had just milked a cow and who lives on a farm with plenty of know-how. Some of us, like me, after some googling, will know that cream is the butterfat-rich part that rises to the top of non homogenized cow's milk. It is not made. It is, in the words of www.ochef.com , "an ur -ingredient if you will." "It is not the product of another recipe, it is a naturally occurring food that you cannot make yourself." Like chicken livers, salt and apples" says he. But butter ...
