CNY baking




I baked a fair bit of cookies this year for chinese new year. Lemon Cranberry, Chocolate swirls, meringue kisses and toffee walnut cookies. All mainly as gifts for friends and family.

Lemon Pistachio Cakes



Now that Marc is more independent, I have found myself baking a little bit more. I recently stumbled upon this recipe and since I had quite a lot of pistachios (from chinese new year hampers), I decided to give it a shot. The shelling of the pistachios were painful but the cake turned out fragrant and nutty. If had similar flavours to baclava, the middle eastern sweet. Will definitely make this again.
