Recipes for Us..

Over the years,I have lost count of the number of recipes and recipes that I hoarded,some were carelessly flung asides,some were well-thumbed,trusted upon when I am expecting guests,many of which,I am somewhat embrassed to confess,will have to wait for their turn,to be proven on how delicious it can be,before deciding to keep or dump...

However,in my quest for searching for that "perfect" recipe of a particular dish,which of course do not really exist ,for we all have different perspectives of taste.I have stumbled upon two recipes of which I like to practise and honed my "skills"upon,one of which is a cake,whereby,with experience and sufficient baking time in the oven,will yield satisfactory result,the other being a stew of which we all know require long cooking time,slow fire to produce a thick,not too cloying dish that I just could not get enough of,haha...enjoy..
