We love food, and we love Jesus.
Combining the two, we conceptualised an idea for our Additional Piece assignment that revolved around food — namely, The Weekend.
The Weekend
Healthy Orange Poppyseed Cake GF DF
“Healthy” is a really ambiguous term. People have different definitions of healthy. For some it means going back to the caveman diet – paleo, and for others it might just mean cutting out sugar or gluten. Now look. This cake is a gem. Whatever diet you follow, you can make changes to it so that it can suit you (ha yes you can say this for every recipe but whatever just let it go).
After a few weeks of ‘crappy’ meals a.k.a throwing everything into a pot to steam/boil food (yes thats how I normally cook lol), I/we decided to make something good today, even though its 2 weeks to our finals. Great choice. (I really think it is).
(VERY) Matcha soufflé cheesecake
Our exams are in fifteen days and we have a separate assignment deadline coming up pretty soon.
Yep.
This cake wasn’t in the plan. It wasn’t supposed to happen. We’re second year med students and we are supposed to be busy with work.
But guess what? We (ok just 1/2 of we so its just me guess who) had a craving for cake. Cheese cake to be exact, and it didn’t matter what type or whatever. We(again, just I to be honest) just wanted to stuff some cheesecake into our mouths . So in our plans we were supposed to make this cheesecake “soon”. But this “soon” became almost immediately and … Cheesecake happened.
Garlic herb butter rolls
Why hello, hello. Welcome to the very first post of 2016 – yes it’s already March. As you can probably tell by scrolling through the archives, we aren’t very good at maintaining this space during our offseasons (read: exam periods + holiday periods out of Melbourne, especially) In February we made some pretty good Chinese New Year goodies, and these might or might not be up on this site, depending on how lazy our bums get, and/or how busy MED2031 makes us 
Anyhow, who doesn’t enjoy fresh, warm and soft buns coming straight outta the oven for breakfast? I mean…. THE SMELLS of freshly baked bread IS JUST SIMPLY AMAZING??????
Paleo Lemon Poppyseed Cake
Mushroom Carbonara (NO CREAM!!!)
We’ve just finished our mid-semester test a couple of days back – and well, we were studying pretty hard (I guess haha) for it and that’s why we’ve haven’t updated this blog in awhile (we’ve got more posts drafted out, they’ll be up soon) well, we didn’t do our groceries for a couple of weeks leading up the the exam so basically we couldn’t do anything nice in the kitchen haha but we are back (for now at least, till the end-of-sem exams come…)!!
Sage-Rubbed Crispy Pork Belly
Crackling maketh pork belly.
Cooking for a crowd can be difficult, and having cooked for crowds of over 40 on several occasions we can empathise with the dilemma over which dishes to cook and the timing of their preparation to deliver excellent food in good time. We had some friends over for dinner recently and once again we were faced with the challenge of deciding on dishes that we could easily produce on a large scale…
Baked Bacon & Spring Onion Frittata
Our dear neighbour Hannah is going back to Malaysia for good today.
Some of us threw a little farewell tea party for her last week, themed in her favourite colour pink! We brought our Bacon and Spring Onion Frittata to add to the amazing spread of finger food and desserts, and we can safely say they were a massive crowd pleaser and were snapped up really quickly 🙂 We’ve written this recipe to share the dish with everyone, using a favourite ingredient of many: Eggs.
Butter Chicken
If you’re looking for a super easy, convenient recipe for butter chicken (or something that tastes as good as), you’ve come to the right place.
This recipe takes about an hour to make, but the active time is just about 15 minutes, perfect for busy and/or lazy people. Just this and a bowl of steamed rice will make a delicious and simple dinner. Easy!
Warning though, this recipe is very much simplified from original butter chicken recipes. It is hardly as authentic as some of you might like it – there is a Chinese kick to it – BUT we promise it tastes very good.
Spring Onion Pancake (葱油饼)
Pancakes are a thing now.
We’ve done buttermilk hotcakes and Korean pancakes, so what about some Chinese-style pancakes? We love the spring onion pancakes (葱油饼) from Chinese eateries so much that we just had to make them ourselves! Furthermore, we found out (to our huge delight) that only 4 ingredients were needed, with the spring onions the only ingredient not readily available in most pantries. Spring onions, also known as scallions or green onions, can be bought cheaply at most Asian stores, and lend dishes a fresh, grassy, and mildly spicy taste. If you haven’t tried them already, you should.
Making these may take a little bit of time, but they are so cheap and easy it’s totally worth the effort.
