Another cooking episode of mine from the garden to the table, harvested purple sweet potatoes, chili and chili leaves from our terrace urban garden last summer. Sweet potatoes are a very healthy root vegetable and provide many benefits. Low in calories, high levels of Vitamin A and C, iron, potassium and dietary fibre. No fat and keep me full for longer. Here I decided to make filling out of it for puff pastry and it turn out good. Just added sweet love syrup and milk then bake for 15 minutes. and Voila! A light snack for the whole family on this cold Sunday.

GINATAANG BAYABAS/ GUAVA in COCONUT MILK

DollyLeave a comment

This recipe is from my late uncle from Bicol who inspired me to try it. These two versions are totally different. The first one I added small potatoes, tapioca pearl, banana, corn kernels with brown sugar and bata de coco of course cooked in coconut milk. While the other one is more on guava pure guava with ginger, salt and brown sugar but not too sweet. Then I ate it with cold rice, the way my uncle used to eat it served as viand for him. But for me, I love my version as a dessert or for in-between not as viand.

TAPIOCA PEARL in COCONUT MILK or “GINATAANG SAGO”

DollyLeave a comment

👩‍🍳Here I cooked tapioca pearl in coconut milk with corn kernels, small potatoes, banana and added sugar and purple yam extract to have a purple colour as a sweet tooth for today. It’s been a while seen I prepared this sweetened tapioca pearl. Tapioca or tapioca starch is an almost tasteless starch that is made from the processed and dried cassava root. … Tapioca can be used as an ingredient in cooking, similar to potato or corn starch or sago. As we all know, Tapioca pearls are made from the starch of manioc, the roots of a shrub that was originally native to South or Central America. The raw pearls must be cooked before consumption. In about 30 minutes, they will take on a clear, jelly-like consistency. Tapioca pearls are made from the starch of manioc, the roots of a shrub that was originally native to South or Central America.

NO-BAKE CHEESECAKE with INCABERRIES TOPPING

DollyLeave a comment

You can also conjure up a super delicious cheesecake without an oven I‘ll show you how easy it is. Cake without baking, in my opinion, they are not so good for baking because they are very badly damaged in the oven due to high water content. Never mind what are the so-called „no bake“ cakes for! No-bake cakes, as the English name suggests are not baked. They usually have a rather thin base and refreshing cream spread over it, which then sets by cooling it in refrigerator. Often, the no-bake cakes can be prepared really quickly and personally, I particularly like the fact that you save yourself baking and looking back in the oven. Today I conjured up a no-bake cheesecake with very fresh Incaberries topping. The biscuit base is wonderfully crispy, without sugar added in it.
