I previously made this recipe in 2022 – Chicken & Pork Terrine, which is much simpler as it has neither pistachios nor hardboiled eggs in it. This one is therefore slightly more extensive but look at it – with the egg, it looks so much prettier, brighter, more cheerful and more tempting to bite into. There is also more height in this terrine compared to the previous version, so it looks much fuller and inviting too.
Just wanted to document the memories of F1 this year, and my crazy attempt to join in as a volunteer as a race official. I was lucky to be able to get in when I applied, as apparently, it’s very difficult to get in because the dropout rate of officials from previous years are very low, and the application from new officials are very high.
I had the chance to meet some great folks, and they were all friendly and took care of one another even though we’ve never met before. The job was tiring (imagine standing for almost 10 – 12 hrs every day for 3.5 days, from 12 noon to 10pm every day), but the warmth of the race and the duties kept all of us going.
This is a simple French style tomato & brie tart that’s simple to make and delicious. The golden colour of the tart can never fail to appeal to anyone who’s in for a treat. The bright red and yellow colours of the tomatoes add to the fiesta of colours in this tart – it’s simply irresistible!
This weekend is preparation week for the upcoming F1 race. I’ve signed myself up for a voluntary role this year, at the Singapore Grand Prix, and I’ve been assigned as a flag marshal (or what they call flaggie for short). It’s really exciting because it’s something I’d never thought I’ll ever do in my life, and now I’m doing it at 44 years old. Crazy, but YOLO. It’s going to be tiring, but I’m looking forward to the experience. So far so good.
I did another version of a ‘Frozen Cream Cake With Summer Fruits And Colours‘, this time with strawberries only instead of a mixture of fruits. I actually prefer the version that I did nine years ago for my mum. The cake looked a lot nicer with the different colours, the peach in the cake was sweeter and the crust at the top of the cake gave it a nicer texture too. This version has only strawberries throughout so it’s definitely lacking in both slightly.The strawberries at the top of the cake was a lot more difficult to cut through too!
