Roasted Eggplant & Garlic Dip

I wanted to try something new with my all time favorite eggplant! So I roasted 5 Chinese eggplants and one head of garlic for an hour. I took a nap and woke up to the aroma of roasted goodness! Excited, I got up and unwrapped the parcel to reveal this precious eggplant dip! It was perfect with some toasted pita bread! :) I will be making this more often!

Mango Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches

 

 

 

 

I wanted to make a mango tart but the experiment some how ended with these ice cream cookie sandwiches! WOW! what a different product than what I had in mind! Nevertheless, they were good! The mango ice cream was very mango-y and I added crystalized ginger in there too! The cookies are just your regular vanilla cookies, but they made the whole house smell sooo yummy while they were baking away in the oven! :) Those two together made this BIG dessert a success!

Chicken Daikon Soup

Today is the best day for some hot soup. I almost got blown over by the wind!! And now it's snowing too! But all that just makes my chicken daikon soup more valuable. yum.

Chocolateless S'mores

 

Mum said only ONE marshmallow a day, so I got giant sized marshmallows that each needs 4 graham cookies to support. Pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds to get an even larger marshmallow! One marshmallow a day right? Make the most out of it. =D

Sesame + Goji Berry Brittle

 

 

It was delicious and the best part was that it perfumed the whole apartment! I will be making this again with different kinds of nuts and berries! The addition of goji berries gave the brittle a colourful playfulness and I believe that the flavors were well balanced too! Success!
