happyhomemaker’s heritage Malaysian chicken curry recipe required a trip to the small Asian grocer just up the road. This lady continues to expand my horizons. She is very generous with her precious family recipes, and her advice.
I needed curry paste ( I found a Malaysian chicken curry paste for $2.50), curry leaves, coconut milk, lemongrass [...]
Golden like sunshine, these mangoes were spectacular. Big, fragrant and juicy.
This ice-cream is summery, rich and light - all at the same time! The coconut milk adds a “tropical” feel, and is well married to the mango. Very luscious!
This is my recipe:
MANGO & COCONUT ICE-CREAM
300ml cream
300ml milk
400ml coconut cream or milk. I used canned coconut [...]

This was it.
A moist chocolate cupcake, topped with [...]
