Hi!
Today I am posting May 2017 class schedule ^^.
Our theme for May is fresh lemon! I will be introducing “Week-end Citron Cake“, a French style lemon butter cake as our new recipe.

This is Strawberry Pistachio Tart I made the other day. I was testing at home how many strawberries can fit in one tart. I use Korean strawberries for the tart lessons and is bigger than local Cameron Highlands strawberries… of course, sweeter too!
And this is me making tarts during the class, hehe… my student took photos of me… I seldom get this kind of photos. Thanks!
I will be conducting some strawberry lesson in March! Will be posting class schedule next week so kindly keep yourself posted!

Hi there!
August passed very fast for me. The exciting Rio Olympic games is about to be finished. I was supporting Japanese players and also Malaysian players every night and morning… I especially liked the swimming part! In the meantime, my daughter had a long school holiday and despite us planning to do things with her, our family fell sick one by one… from either fever or food poisoning during her entire holiday^^; So we ended up watching the Olympic games and doing some non-physical activities in and around our house. In any case, it was an interesting summer holiday for me and I am glad my family is well now. Nothing beats staying healthy!
I would like to post September & October 2016 class schedule today, as I will be going back to Japan in the middle of October to early November. Summer is ending and autumn is coming, and I would like to introduce a couple of new yummy autumn recipes. Let’s enjoy the apple fiesta in the next two months ^^*!
