Everyday cake – Blackberry Ricotta Cake

Are you a sweet breakfast person or a savory breakfast person?I used to be a savory breakfast person. Eating something sweet for breakfast sounds both uncomfortable and unfulfilling. My dad, on the other hand, has the biggest sweet tooth (and he’s ...

Scone obsession

So it all started with a pint of homemade clotted cream.If you followed me on Instagram, you probably have noticed I was really into scones lately. Scone is something I don’t usually eat before pregnancy. Although I have a soft spot for freshly ...

What I’ve been making lately + recent exciting news + a strawberry rhubarb compote recipe

This winter in Seattle does not feel as bad as previous ones. With all the snow going on (and actually many decent sunny days!), I didn't feel any PNW winter blues. So when I spot rhubarb at Pike Place Market two weeks ago, I was really surprised. ...
