Here's a sweet and colourful coconut-flavoured treat that kids (and grown-ups) of all ages will love.

Rainbow Jelly
 

Ingredients

Part A

10 grams agar-agar powder

1 litre water

200g (scant 1 cup) sugar

Food colouring

 

Part B

10 grams agar-agar powder

600 ml water

200g (scant 1 cup) sugar

400 ml coconut milk

½ teaspoon salt

Food colouring

 

Method

1.       Prepare a container about at least 3 inches high, about 10” x 10” in size.

2.       Combine ingredients in Part A (except for food colouring) in a pot and bring to a boil, stirring frequently until the agar powder is dissolved. Turn off heat and keep warm.

3.       At the same time, combine the agar powder, water and sugar in Part B in another pot and bring to a boil. Then add coconut milk and salt, and bring it back to a boil. Turn off the heat immediately and keep warm.

4.       Measure 200ml of the mixture from A and pour into a jug, and add a few drops of food colouring. Mix well. Pour into the prepared container and leave in the fridge to cool for 5 minutes or until almost set (but not completely firm).

5.       While waiting, prepare 200ml of the coconut mixture from Part B and add food colouring.

6.       When the first layer has almost set, use a fork to lightly scratch the surface so that when you pour in the second layer, the layers stick together when they harden.

7.       Gently pour in the coconut mixture from step 5, and then leave to cool until almost set. Scratch the surface with a fork.

8.       Repeat steps 4-7 until mixture is used up. Refrigerate until cold before cutting into slices.

Best Ever Italian Almond Cookies

Image
These are the BEST EVER, absolutely moreish and delicious Sicilian almond cookies you'll ever taste. With a thin and crispy crust outside, and amazingly soft and chewy inside, it's quite impossible to stop at one. The secret is to use roasted almond meal, which gives it a rich nutty and almost caramel-like flavour. Continue reading for the recipe. Italian Almond Cookies Adapted from Good Food Ingredients 250g roasted almond meal 3 egg whites, beaten until stiff 150g white sugar 1/2 tsp vanilla essence 1/2 tsp almond essence Icing sugar, to coat biscuits Flaked almonds Method Using your hands or a large spoon, mix all ingredients (except icing sugar) together in a bowl and rest for 1/2 an hour. Preheat oven to 180C. Make small balls of about 3 cm by rolling them between your palms, then lightly roll them in the icing sugar. If the mixture is too soft, that's okay. Just drop spoonfuls of the mixture in the icing sugar and gently roll them until covered all over with sugar. ...

Thai Roast Duck Salad

Image
  So, I googled " game meat " and according to Wikipedia, " Game is any animal hunted for food or not normally domesticated. Game animals are also hunted for sport".  I never knew that duck was considered game until someone told me that it is not commonly served or eaten in the United States for that very reason. Well, it makes sense now that I recall seeing duck hunting on TV (specifically the old Looney Tunes cartoons featuring Elmer Fudd and Daffy Duck - rings a bell?). Maybe because I've grown up eating a lot of Chinese roast duck (and Peking duck during special occasions), and so I can't say that it tastes gamey at all. Or maybe duck just tastes best when it's roasted until the fat has rendered and the skin's gone all thin and crispy. The only thing I don't like about duck is that it's really boney and fatty. If you buy half a roast duck, you'd end up with half of it being bones and fat. The meat and skin however is very tasty. ...

Polish Plum Cake (with olive oil)

Image
It's been a long long while since my last post. Summer has been super hot these last few days and we've been staying indoors (although the air-conditioning didn't work too well in these extreme conditions). It didn't help that I decided to bake  yesterday afternoon knowing that it was already as hot as an oven outside! So, ever since i tried the Polish plum cake from Monarch Cakes at St Kilda a couple of years ago, I've been wanting to bake something similar though I never settled on which recipe to use (there are a few on the internet, where they differ in terms of whether butter or oil is used, and some are yeast-based (which is apparently the traditional Polish version). With plums being in season right now, I decided it was time I made the attempt to bake a light, airy, sponge-like cake studded with tart plums that have caramaelized to a jammy consistency. Well, at least that's how I remembered it. Ready for tea with a dusting of icing sugar Although using b...
