Banana-Date Tea Cake tastes much better now. Well, this is a typical pound cake and just takes time to get ready to be eaten. So, I decided to upload my “sunken” tea cake to remind myself a failure. I have to remember that I should use all-purpose flour instead of cake flour to make the [...]

This Fried Rice was successful.
I was pretty excited to try new recipe this morning: Banana-Date Tea Cake. All my bananas were ready to be baked and I had lots of dates in the fridge. This recipe is from Tartine by Elisabeth M. Prueitt and Chad Robertson. This book is nicely organized and well explained. I [...]
