Turones with cheese and carafee sauce After putting it off for months I finally grabbed the chance and time to make a very decent looking and delicious tasting turon (banana spring rolls). It’s not a personal favourite but once in a while I like sinking my teeth into one. After all it’s a…

Guacamole
Guacamole is essentially an avocado based sauce that originated in the Aztecs in Mexico. I haven’t encountered any bottle based guacamole yet but have heard about (never interested in) this condiment because I’m more of a chili based fan. The other day we were able to buy the deep purple skinned smallish type…
Cravings: Cheddar and cayenne crackers

Eggplant appetizer
Remember from last time when I made an ocha tamago (black tea eggs)? Well, as it turned out it I made another, this time its completely different. It is still something you can make ahead of time and prep just before the party begins. This one I think is a winner. It was…
