for the love of chocolate – passion fruit truffle cake

hungryrabbit — Fri, 17 May 2013 10:57:54 +0000

I had never tried to combine chocolate with any citrus, except for orange. The reason is I grew up with Orange Milano cookies from Pepperidge Farm–I thought orange and chocolate were the only possibility.

cocoa fair – espresso chocolate cookies

hungryrabbit — Fri, 10 May 2013 11:10:04 +0000

When I consider what to bring to a charity bake sale, chocolate is the first flavor on the list. Folks always stop to consider chocolate treats and sometimes swoop down to take a closer look. Chocolate doesn’t have a brilliant color to attract the eye, but it does stir up passion.

cold fusion – pineapple-coconut stack cake

hungryrabbit — Fri, 03 May 2013 11:18:28 +0000

This cake is the culmination of a few ideas that co-mingled in the most opportune way. It all started with something called the Tennessee Stack Cake that I’ve read about a while ago. The fact that it’s made with layers of cookies–not cake–intrigued me.

blossoms afar – matcha almond cookies w raspberry filling

hungryrabbit — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 11:07:00 +0000

I always long for the cherry blossoms season in DC, and better yet, Japan. The magnificent carpet of pink is the most convincing sign of Spring’s arrival. Fortunately, even the photos of cherry blossoms are breath taking, cause there’s a sniffling catch for many of us–spring allergies.(...)

the must-do list – salty peanut brown butter sandwich cookies

hungryrabbit — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:41:54 +0000

My To-Do list grows more often than it shrinks. Spice cabinets and pantry drawers need reorganizing, doors require repainting, and book shelves scream for clearing. (I need to accommodate my addiction for coookbook acquisition.)

metamorphosis – german chocolate lamingtons

hungryrabbit — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 12:13:13 +0000

Ever since I learned about Lamington, a cake that originates from Australia, I’ve been eager to explore it. In its original form, this popular creation named after Lord Lamington, Governor of Queensland, consisted of individual squares of sponge cake, dipped in chocolate, and coated with shredded coconut. I love its pure architectural form—a cube of cake that you can eat with your hands.

a natural beauty – matcha-azuki cake

hungryrabbit — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 16:17:14 +0000

The annual tribal rite known as the Easter Parade in NYC brings out the colorful imaginative side in natives and visitors. There’s the array of hats–traditional, whimsical, avant-garde, and down-right clever—during the ceremonial walk through Fifth Avenue, the central gathering place for the return of this diaspora. The fanciful pastel clothing flutters in the early season winds as they devoted perform the Ambassadors of Spring promenade. (I must confess that even this rabbit, who prefers basic black and grey, loves to splash it up with the pastel palette for a ritual compliance.)
