Mandarin yoghurt slice



With Mandarin oranges aplenty at this time of the year I was toying with the idea of baking a cake with these sweet-tangy citrus.   The cake was moist and dense but on the whole it was delicious served as breakfast, tea or as a snack.  What I liked most was the crispy sugary crust.

      You can use other fruits as well, like nectarines or peaches.

    I think this recipe is great seeing that the fresh mandarins didn't bleed into the cake batter.

      Yes, I thought that the mandarins would be covered up by the batter while baking. Good thing they stayed 'afloat'.

    Love the step by step photos and can't wait to make it but you don't mention what temperature the oven should be. Would I be correct in guessing 180'?

Hazelnut orange mini Bundt

Upon going through my cake pans and trays I realised that I had neglected this mini Bundt pan for quite a while.  Hmmm, time to take it out and make use of it.  These mini Bundts were soft and moist with a nutty texture and weren't overly sweet, just right for breakfast or to serve for tea.  The ingredients are a slight resemblance to that for Friands.

Fold in the melted butter and chopped cranberries, stir well to combine. Spoon mix...

Spicy Chicken with Korean sauce

I had a look at the Korean sauces that were sitting idle in the fridge and thought what would be the outcome if I mixed them up.  I had to experiment to find out.  So, I got hold of some chicken leg, debone them, mixed in some sauces and cooked up this dish.  Family members said that they tasted somewhat like satay chicken but nodded in agreement that they were delicious :) Recipe for Spicy Chicken with Korean sauce Ingredients                                                                   3 chicken leg, deboned        4 pips of garlic, minced 1  tsp sugar 1/2  tsp salt 1/2...
