Wannabe Kale Frittata with Beef and Cherry Tomatoes
This is a wannabe frittata because I didn’t add cheese nor did I bake this dish and it could be called an omelette except that there’s more kale than egg. I found this dish incredibly tasty and stir frying the kale will eliminate any bitterness that is inherent in the veg. This recipe serves 1....

Replacing Eggs In Baking
If you’re a lazy cook/baker like me, there will be times when you realise that you have missing ingredients just when you’ve taken out the flour, chocolate chips and what nots. Most likely, you’ll find out that you have run out of eggs. We tend to take it for granted that our egg tray is...

You’d think that rice is rice but different types of rice (and therefore, grains) require different amounts of water to cook.
