Babka is a Jewish bread made of rich brioche dough that is spread out and rolled with a filling. Typically it’s filled with chocolate or cinnamon but sometimes it can also be with a savoury filling! Typically when I go for savoury breads my go-to choices are cheese or pesto, so I thought why not combine both into a delicious babka? This recipe takes a bit of time but promise you the wait is definitely worth it! Your house will smell AH-MAZING!

Chinese Beef Brisket | Instant Pot
Whenever I visit Hong Kong style cafes, I will always order this dish with “ho fan” noodles. This dish incorporates the most amazing flavours from the savoury beef to the incredible crunch of the daikon and carrot. All tied in together with the most amazing aroma of star anise, Chinese five spice, and lemongrass. Traditional Cantonese beef brisket has no lemongrass, but recently I tried this and I absolutely LOVED it! If you want to stick to the traditional route, you are more than welcome to take this out. This dish still tastes delicious without it. You can then pair this dish with either noodles or a nice bowl of…

Simple Tomato Pasta Sauce
Last summer I travelled to Italy with one of my closest friends, we were in Florence at the time staying in an AirBnB. One night, we decided that for dinner we were going to make pasta. We went to the grocery store and grabbed all of the necessary ingredients for the dish, and then went home and started to prepare it. About ten minutes into the preparation, this elderly Italian man came into the kitchen and actually told us that we were preparing it all wrong! It turns out that he was actually the owner of the house and started to show us how to cook authentic Italian tomato pasta sauce.…

I want to know how to make it to truly appreciate it!!!”. And that’s how the gnocchi journey began. This recipe is delicious but is definitely labour intensive, so grab a team to help you…
