[Recipe] Tiramisu for Your Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day! This day last year I made Mr. molten lava cake. This year, I made a Tiramisu and I would like to share the recipe of this easy-to-make dessert with you. Traditional recipe calls for mascarpone cheese, but it's not available at all grocery stores. I replace it with cream cheese because it's more common. The flavour of cream cheese was masked by other ingredients so it's not over-powering. I also added some Kahlua to spice it up!

La Terrazza

Double date night with Mr., and our friends WK and MS. We spent a good amount of time on emails trying to decide on where to go for Dine Out. After a series of discussion, we chose La Terrazza in Yaletown. Our Dine Out experience was overall quite enjoyable. Service quality is often compromised during Dine Out but staff at La Terrzza didn't disappoint us.

Short Take: The Soup Meister

Often referred to as the best soup place in town, The Soup Meister is a local business that produces soups, stocks and sauces. Located at the Lonsdale Quay, it claims to use only freshest ingredients available in all its products with no preservatives. The retail outlet sells only a few varieties of “soup of the day”, but most of their business appears to be in frozen goods. The layout of the business is diner-like, with the kitchen/prep area in plain-sight.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!

Mr., Frank and I would like to wish all of you a very happy holiday season. We hope you will enjoy lots of juicy birds, yummy meals and tasty treats. Thank you all for the support this past year. We're taking a break for Christmas and New Year. We'll see you in 2011.

[Recipe] Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

As promised, today we're sharing with you the recipe we used to make the celebratory red velvet cupcakes on Monday. We found two different recipes online and combined them with a few tweaks. This recipe makes 24 servings so feel free to cut it down by half if you only want to make a dozen of them.
