I’ve not been very good about keeping up with my writing these past couple of weeks. Some of these entry was only transfered from my old blog. But today hubby had got a day off from work. And luckily, my kitchen is always here for both of us a comfort in times of stress and a stage for when there’s celebration.
Today we decided to cook together for our lunch and also bake something for merienda for our General Assembly in the afternoon (MS-HFC) the community we belong. As usual if I’m in the kitchen my “BUNSO” (Riyadh, my dog) join me always and of course not to forget my Laptop! (yes, you read it right MY LAPTOP…hehehe…)
Pork liver and radish with balsamic vinegar. Most people, especially those who grew up in the cities, may be reluctant to eat meat dishes with liver. But not me, I love this palatable taste!
According to studies, liver is excellent sources of vitamins like; A, D, C, thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin and other nutrients like pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, choline, biotin, and folic acid. The internal organs are even richer sources than the actual animal meat. But we don’t have it off in our weekly menu plan…wink!
Today’s lunch pinakbet one of my favorites, in which I’m obsessed particularly when it comes to vegetables cooking!
Fried tofu is great on it’s own or dipped in just about any kind of sauce. You can also use fried tofu in a vegetable stir-fry, fried rice or noodle dish, or just about anything. I like to add fried tofu to vegetarian soups and salads for extra protein and a bit of crunchy texture. My daughter loves it just dipped in toyomansi with crushed garlic!
At the end I did my baking for the community in the afternoon while seating down with my laptop
Fret not, I am staying true to my writing and the pleasures of food. Sometimes I think cooking is the only thing that keeps me somewhat sane in this crazy world:))
SCONE: A SHORT HISTORY
Scones are biscuit-like pastries or quick breads that are often rolled into round shapes and cut into quarters, then baked, sometimes on a griddle. Scones can be savory or sweet and are usually eaten for breakfast, but are also served with tea and in coffeehouses.
History
Scones got their start as a Scottish quick bread. Originally made with oats and griddle-baked, today’s version is more often made with flour and baked in the oven. As for the origin of the word “Skone”, some say it comes from the Dutch word schoonbrot, which means beautiful bread, while others argue it comes from Stone of Destiny, where the Kings of Scotland were crowned. According to Webster’s Dictionary, scones originated in Scotland in the early 1500s.
Scones became popular and an essential part of the fashionable ritual of taking tea in England when Anna, the Duchess of Bedford (1788 – 1861), one late afternoon, ordered the servants to bring tea and some sweet breads, which included scones. She was so delighted by this, that she ordered it every afternoon and what now has become an English tradition is the “Afternoon Tea Time” (precisely at 4:00 p.m.). They are still served daily with the traditional clotted cream topping in Britain. IMPROVE YOUR BRAIN!

TURON
Ang turon ay isang dulseng likha sa nougat, tipikal na gawa sa pulot-pukyutan, asukal, at puti ng itlog, binalutan ng durog at tinostang almendra, at madalas isinasahugis bilang rektanggular na tableta o bilugang keyk. Sa panahong ito karaniwan itong kinakain bilang kinaugaliang himagas pam-Pasko o meryenda sa hapon. Dito sa Vienna karaniwan na itong makikita sa mga handaan bilang panghimagas!
Picture down here home made Turon by my daughter, which was our merienda last Sunday afternoon:)
Lumalabas na may pinagmulang Arabo ang turon; tiyak na masasabi na may turon na kahit man lamang noong ika-16 dantaon sa lungsod ng Xixona, na ngayo’y nasa lalawigan ng Alacant. Sa ngayon madalas kinakain ang turon sa karamihan ng Espanya, sa ilang mga bansa ng Amerikang Latino, at sa Roussillon sa France. May pagkahalintulad ang Italyanong torrone sa uring Kastila, at tipikal ito sa Bagnara Calabra and Cremona.
Liban sa mga kaugaliang uri mula sa Xixona at Alacant, mataas ding ikinalulugod din ang uri mula sa Agramunt, at ang torró de gat (isang uri mula sa Cullera na gawa sa binusang mais at pulot-pukyutan).
Marahil na ang ika-16 dantaong Manual de mujeres ang naglalaman ng pinakalumang resipi ng turon na nabubuhay pa.
TURON (PINOY MERIENDA)

GINATAANG MAIS (SWEET CORN KERNELS IN COCONUT MILK)
Want to try my own VERSION of “GINATAANG Mais”?
So here it is, we use to eat this as “merienda” (snacks), “panghimagas” (dessert) or ‘in-between-meals.
My hubby’s favorite too, he couldn’t get enough from it!
The abundance of coconuts in the Philippines means that a lot of its by-products find its way into the local cuisine and snacks are no exceptions. So you can find a lot of variation with sweet coconut soup with glutinous rice then flavoured with some other ingredients such as mais (corn), munggo (mung beans), chocolate, etc. These are often served hot but a lot of people love it chilled cold from the fridge.
If you can get fresh corn on the cob then by all means please use that. The flavour it imparts in the soup is the best. Shred or remove the kernels (yasyasin) by sliding off a knife diagonally across the side of the cob. It may be a bit messy but it just ensures that it will bring out the flavour from the cut kernels as which is much better than having the kernels intact. But if in a bind, you can use thawed frozen sweetcorn though not as packed with flavour as the fresh ones.
YOU NEED…….
* 1 cup of Glutinous Rice
* 8 pcs. fresh Corn on the cob (mais) or corn kernels in can would go also!
* 1 pack coconut cream and milk
* 1 tsp. Salt
* some sugar
* some sliced ripe Jackfruit (Langka)
HOW TO…….
* 1.) Cook Glutinous rice with 1 tsp. salt, while cooking prepare the Mais by sliding off a knife diagonally across the side of the cob.
* 2.) Pour in cococnut milk into the glutinous rice and stir in the corn and simmer again until rice is cooked.
* 3.) Then add jack fruit (Langka) and sugar. Serve hot or cold with some coconut cream on top.

MY BANANA ROYALE!
So, what is this dessert? The crust is made with crushed Graham crackers and butter, the filling is a mixture of cream and sweetened condensed milk and the topping is fresh bananas. There is no cooking involved, it’s all just mixing and assembling!
YOU NEED…….
* 1 kg of fresh Banana about 6 to 8 pcs.
* 2 cups of Heavy Cream or Mascarpone ( I used mascarpone)
* 1 cup of Condensed Milk
* 1 1/2 cup of crushed Graham crackers
* 6 tbsps. of melted butter (more if you want a less crumbly crust!)

SUMAN SA IBUS (My breakfast)
Suman sa Ibus is a rice cake originating from the Philippines. It is made from glutinous rice cooked in coconut milk and often steamed in banana leaves. It is served wrapped in buli or buri palm leaves and usually eaten sprinkled with sugar.
This one I got it fron Vietnamese Store near us. Which is made from thailand. The black spot you see in it is mungbean (mongo). While the recipe down here is from my late nanay which until now I tried once only. The reason is I don’t get buri palm leaves here in Vienna and using banana leaves is not the trade mark of “Suman sa Ibus”.
YOU NEED…….
* 3 cups of Glutinous Rice
* 2 cups Coconut Milk
* 1 tbsp. Salt
* young Coconut Leaves (for wrapping)
HOW TO…….
* Wash rice and put it in a bowl and soak the rice in coconut milk and salt. Leave it for 2o minutes or until the rice absorb the coconut milk.
* Wrap the mixture (do not fill then up completely)
* Put the Suman in a large pot. Fill them with water until the Suman is completely immersed or covered
.
* Cover and boil it for 25 minutes until the Suman is cooked. Serve with sugar on top :pump-:)
SOME TIPS FROM ME:
You can use banana leaves but you need to cook the rice first.
3 cups of rice to 3 cups of water combined with coconut milk, wrap it using banana leaves and steam for a while. The leaves will give a natural aroma to the rice. Desperately enough, you can use aluminum foil instead, hahahaha….. so, this was my breakfast this morning and tea with milk :pump-v_v:
BIBINGKA
When I first posted a recipe of this, the only thing in my mind is to put some grated coconut strips on top , but my family doesn’t like coconut strips!
So I decided to update my BIBINGKA or Rice cake recipe. By this time I doubled the ammount and added sliced boiled eggs and more margarine on top.

YOGHURT AND STRAWBERRY JAM
Yoghurt or yogurt is a dairy product produced by bacterial fermentation of milk. Fermentation of lactose produces lactic acid, which acts on milk protein to give yoghurt its texture and its characteristic tang. Soy yoghurt, a non-dairy yoghurt alternative, is made from soy milk. People have been making—and eating—yogurt for at least 4,500 years. It is a nutritional food with unique health benefits. It is nutritionally rich in protein, calcium, riboflavin, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12.
Fruit preserves or Jam (marmalade) refers to fruits or vegetables that have been prepared and canned for long term storage. The preparation of fruit preserves traditionally involves the use of pectin as a gelling agent, although sugar or honey may be used as well. There are various types of fruit preserves made globally, and they can be made from sweet or savory ingredients.
This is not only as dessert can be a part of breakfast too!
YOU NEED…….
* 1 cup Yoghurt
* 2-3 tbsps. Strawberry Marmalade (or your preference)
HOW TO…….
***Just mix the 2-3 tbsps. strawberry marmalade to 1 cup of yoghurt and enjoy it! You can also mix marmalade of your preference, like apple, pears, blueberry, peach, avocado or even banana, pineapple and mango. My family loves it!

MY GULAMAN CHIC- VERSION 1
Gulaman, in Filipino cuisine, refers to the bars of dried seaweed used to make jellies or flan, as well as the desserts made from it. Just like what I want to share to you here. But this is in a form of powder which I think some kind of new products in the market now a days (Seaweed Extract). It has also come to refer to the refreshment or dessert.This drink consists of gulaman cubes and/or sago (tapioca pearls) suspended in milk (just like what I did here), fruit juice or brown-sugar water flavored with pandan leaves. It is most likely a cheaper local version of the Chinese conjac jelly.
This was a very long time request by a friend of mine on Youtube!
You know who you are, so here you have it…sorry for the delayed response, better than not ever…
YOU NEED…….
* 4 packs of unflavored Gulaman, I used MR. GULAMAN green, from Philippines
* 2 to 3 Liters Milk
* 1 bottle of Kaong

HOW TO…….
— Measure 6 cups of tap drinking water in a casserole but not warm or hot. Then gradually sprinkle Mr. Gulaman jelly powder into water while stirring constantly until completely dissolve.
— Heat but stirring continuously until jelly comes nearly to boil, then remove from heat and pour into mold. Let jelly seat preferably in refrigerator to make it faster, firm enough to cut.
— Cook separately tapioca pearls in boiling water and set aside to cool.
— Add the rest of ingredients all together and allow for about 30 minutes inside the refrigerator to make it cold before serving. ENJOY!
QUICK FRUIT SALAD
Ditch the canned fruit cocktail with the rubbery content that is 90% chewy papaya. Fresh fruits tossed in a mixture of cream and sweetened condensed milk may entail more work but the result is a far, far cry from miniscule fruit pieces swimming in white mass.
Again, just to get rid of the canned fruits which I don’t need for cooking pata hamonado, beacuase only the syrups I used. Result, a very good quick fruit salad for dessert!
YOU NEED…….
* 1 canned Peach (without syrup)
* 1 canned Fruit cocktail (without syrup)
* 1 canned Corn Krenels (without syrup)
* 1 Apple, peeled and cut into small cubes ( I used Granny’s Smith)
* 2 cups of Sour cream
* some sweetened Condensed Milk (depends upon your preference, how much you need)
HOW TO…….
*** There’s no cooking involved just mix all together the ingredients in a big bowl and once the salad has been assembled, place in a covered container and keep in the fridge until needed.
MY YEMMA BALLS!
Yema is a sweet concoction made with milk and egg yolks. But this onother version of mine with less eggyolk I replace cocout milk or cream powder instead. Traditional recipes don’t include coconut cream but I wanted something unique, so I decided to add some. They were so good that my daughter was “tasting” the cooked mixture before she could roll it into balls.
This is not the traditional way, MY VERSION!
This is also a request by loudasspnay channel from youtube!
YOU NEED…….
* 1 1/2 can of Condensed Milk
* 2 cups of powdere full cream Milk
* 150 g pouch of Coconut Cream pewder
* 1 Eggyolk
* 1 tbsp. Butter sotened
* 1 cup of white Sugar
* small paper cups
HOW TO…….
*1.) Heat the condensed milk over medium heat. Don’t boil.
*2.) Beat the eggyolk in a bowl. Pour in the half of heated milk and stir to blend the eggyolk. Then ad the coconut cream and stir until smooth.
*3.) Pour the egg-milk-coconut cream mixture into the saucepan and continue cooking. Stir, scraping the sides and bottom of the pan to prevent scorching. When the mixture thickness a bit, turn off the heat and cool for abot 5 minutes.
*4.) Place the powdered milk in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the egg-milk-coconut cream mixture. Add the softened butter. Stir until smooth. Cover the bowl and chill for 45 minutes. After chilling. mixture will thicken and shaping will be easier.
*5.) Place a white sugar in a wide shallow bowl and shape, wrap on small paper cups.
CHAMPORADO
Champorado is a sweet chocolate rice porridge in Filipino cuisine. It is traditionally made by boiling sticky/sweet rice and cocoa powder giving it a distinctly brown color. However, dry champorado mixes, which may be found in some Asian food stores, are prepared by adding just boiling water. It can be served hot or cold and with milk and sugar to taste. It is served usually at breakfast and sometimes together with dried fish locally known as “tuyo”.
The pudding becomes very thick and the lighter milk helps to “loosen” it. It’s almost like eating “chocolate oatmeal.” It can be eaten as a snack or dessert as well. Sweet rice can be found in most Asian aisles of a grocery store.
Requested by dranny79 channel a.k.a. Ann. One of my youtube family.
The secret of good champorado is patience. Slow cooking, continous stirring so the rice and the cocoa wont separate, until the rice becomes mushy. I do not have a recipe for this comfort food. I cooked mine out of my memory and from my own estimates. As you see many times when I cook I do not measure.
YOU NEED…….
* 3 cups of water
* 1 cup of glutinous rice (malagkit)
* some cocoa or cacao
* some sugar
* some milk
HOW TO…….
1.) To start with you might need more as the volume of the rice expands, put water on a pot around 3 cups. Bring to a boil, add the malagkit and cocoa. Stir once in a while, but lower the heat once it boils.
2.) Add more water if necessary and simmer for a while until the mixture thickens and the rice soft. Then add milk and sugar. At this stage you must stir continuously.
3.) For those who love condensed milk over their champorado make sure yours is not so sweet. Thickness of the champorado may vary I do not like mine so watery.
Serve with a drizzle of condensed milk and eat with dried fish like “Tuyo” or “sinangag na dilis”.
GRANNY SMITH (apple) WITH ICE CREAM
It’s just a very simple dessert for everybody!
Granny Smith apples are light green in colour. They are crisp, juicy, tart apples which are excellent for eating raw and cooking. This accounts for the fact that Granny Smith apples are ideally suited for pie baking. They are favoured for salads because the slices do not brown as quickly as other varieties. They also tend to have a harder texture than other green apples.

Every weekend it’s either hubby or I, we use to bake our own apple strudel. At home we are all apple strudel lovers. Maybe this is not the traditional recipe, but according to my family’s preference. Our 2 kids doesn’t like the filling in the apple strudel should be prepared with raisins but I still add sometimes. Once it’s done no question at all, they get treated to a mouth-watering, oven-warm slice.
In Vienna, confectioners the filling in the apple strudel should be prepared with or without crumbs and raisins. I learned not only how this famous Viennese dessert is made, but also given the original Viennese Apple Strudel recipe to try out at home, and an oven-fresh slice to indulge in on the spot. The aroma and taste of baking strudel will follow back home!
Apple Strudel is a real Austrian Speciality and if you by the dough it is not at all difficult to make.
Either baked in an oven or Turbo broiler, doesn’t make any difference at all. One time we tried also the one with vanille sauce, was not bad but we prefer without. For us it’s not only for dessert or snack (“meryenda”) but also we use to have it for breakfast and for in between (brunch). I love my apple strudel with a cup of tea with milk.
So take it from me folks and Enjoy your APPLE STRUDEL :pump-;):
The dough is allready buttered (with melted butter). It is important to make it so thin. Here with the apples, sweet bread crumbs and raisins. I used phyllo pastry… you’ll have a less traditional strudel, but one that is just as delicious. Can be served warm or cold, usually sprinkled with powdered sugar.
YOU NEED…….
STRUDEL DOUGH
* 2 c. flour
* 1/4 tsp. salt
* 1 whole egg
* 1 tbsp. butter
* 3/4 c. lukewarm water
HOW TO…….
Mix flour, egg, butter, and salt, Add lukewarm water and mix. Place on board and knead for 10 minutes. The more you knead the dough the better it will be to work with. Place in greased bowl. Cover and let rest for 1 hour. Divide dough in half.
How to Stretch Dough: Spread table with cloth to hang over sides. Sprinkle lightly with flour and place dough in center. With a floured rolling pin, roll out dough into 8 inch circle. Slide hands gently under dough and let dough rest on the back of your hands, with your palms down. Now pull the dough gently toward you. Stretch and pull dough as you go around. Dough should be thin as tissue paper.
YOU NEED…….
APPLE FILLING:
4 lbs. of apples
1/4 c. butter, melted
1 1/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 tbsp. flour

Pick table cloth up to roll. Shape roll to fit 9 x 13 inch greased with melted butter. Brush the roll generously with melted butter. Bake at 180 C degrees for 45 minutes, until lightly brown.
APPLESTRUDEL (Apple strudel) a la Dada (my hubby)!
Applestrudel, everybody’s favorite at home!
Inspired by my hubby, I learned this method from hi…wink!
Take it from me Baby, made from Austria!
I would say; Sweet apples, currants, and raisins are spiced with cinnamon, wrapped in phyllo with fresh breadcrumbs and baked until golden and hot. Take note: I baked it in my TURBO BROILER!…Try it folks
Apple strudel can be accompanied by tea, coffee, or even champagne…lol…
Toppings of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, custard, or vanilla sauce are popular in many countries. If the strudel is cooked right, you won’t need any toppings. It should turn out puffier than when it was frozen.

* some butter
* 1 pouch of Kotanyi applestrudel mixture
* some bread crumbs
* confectioner sugar, about 2 tbsps.
