Moist banana muffins with sweet drizzle

July 14, 2014 Breakfast

I used to make banana bread pretty regularly using butter and sour cream. It was tasty, but pretty unhealthy, so not something I would eat for breakfast. This banana muffin is the healthier and moister version of the banana bread I used to make. Plus it’s vegan! Because this is the lightened up version, you […]

Update: Some of you have asked me where to find certain cooking tools and ingredients, particularly Asian cooking and cake decorating material, so I have set up an amazon shop with links to where I get the things I use.

This week it was one of my friend’s birthdays, and to celebrate a couple of us planned a surprise birthday party for her. When I think of her, I think of the color lavender because she’s very warm and comforting. She also likes flowers, so I thought it would be fun to make an edible […]

I hope this cake will have him thinking of fresh brewed coffee. He eats pastries with coffee, so I tried to make this cake as healthy […]

Chewy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

February 15, 2014 Cookies

These are the *yummiest* chocolate chip cookies that I have made yet. They are chewy, with a soft chocolatey center that fills your mouth with melted chocolate when they are warm right out of the oven. And the best part is, these cookies are vegan!

Szechuan string beans are one of the staple dishes I always order at restaurants. Growing up in San Diego, I ordered this dish at almost every Chinese restaurant in the city.

Pipette Cupcakes

October 24, 2013 Cakes

A while ago, a friend of mine had the idea of making pipette cupcakes. It is probably the most brilliant science cooking idea I’ve tried, and I think these cupcakes are perfect for your next nerdy get together. What are pipette cupcakes? Or rather, what is a pipette doing on a cupcake? Well, in addition […]

Pan Fried Tofu

October 17, 2013 Asian Dishes

This recipe is one of the ones I make most for dinner. It’s pan fried tofu wrapped in a caramelized ginger, sugar, and soy sauce mixture. My mom made this dish a lot while I was growing up, and it’s my favorite recipe that I’ve learned from her. After helping me move into my new […]
