Pumpkin gnocchi

I love to eat pumpkin. Japanese pumpkin is my favorite because it's sweeter than other types of pumpkin and the texture when it's cooked is powdery. Plain steam japanese pumpkin is my all time favorite snack. Love it. Unfortunately, I'm the only one in the house who love to eat pumpkin. CP and the boys, they don't like to eat pumpkin. So I try to find ways to make them eat pumpkin. Making the gnocchi dough at home with the children and get them to help kneading and rolling is so fun! And such a great experience for them. G finished one bowl of pumpkin gnocchi by himself. G said "This piece of gnocchi was made by me, I remembered.", before he popped the gnocchi from the spoon to his mouth happily. 

Chocolate pot de crème with macarons à la vanille

Like crème brulee but no burnt sugar on top, like crème caramel but no burnt sugar on the bottom

Cream Puff

This is one of my favorite. So easy to make and so easy to eat. Delicious!

Fig galette

As I said before, I have a lot of figs in my fridge. Here is another way that I've transformed the figs into a dessert. And we finished it right away after the photo shoot. Yum!

White truffle buttercream macarons

This is my favorite macaron flavor. The white truffle oil goes so well with the buttercream, it enhances the buttercream flavor. After you have a bite, you'll definitely smell the truffle at the back of your tongue.  

How did I come up with this flavor? CR is a good friend and a foodie. She and her husband eat out a lot and told me that they went out for dinner at a restaurant and the dessert served was truffle macarons. I have no idea what it tasted like, but she gave me the idea to make it. Thanks CR for sharing the idea with me. You gave me a lot of ideas from your restaurant eats.

Tagliatelle carbonara and panna cotta passion fruit

We love pasta. This pasta is a quick fix meal that you can make in double quick time. G and Z had this for lunch after they came back from school, and they had panna cotta that I had made the day before for dessert.

Caramelized figs with mascarpone and maple syrup

Grocery day at the regular supermarket. Suddenly my eyes caught the nice beautiful fresh figs lying on the shelve. Couldn't resist, and now I have a lot of figs in my fridge. I'll do a quick and easy dessert as in Donna Hay's, Fast, Fresh, Simple. Fresh fruits are always good. They taste best when they are in season. CP and G love figs. This will be the dessert after dinner.
