About Rose
Hi! My name is Rose and I really love cooking and baking and experimenting with new recipes. After recovering from Breast cancer in 2005 I decided that I really wanted to share my favourite recipes with people who also love cooking and baking. I have a large compilation of recipes – some are my own, some I have found. I am in the process of transferring all of them online so that my family and everyone else can have access to them. I really don’t want these recipes to go to waste! I hope you will enjoy these recipes as much as I have. Comments and Feedback are always appreciated. God bless! – Rose

Hi Rose:
I would like to make this cake but do not know what a dessert spoon is – is this like a tablespoon measure?
hi Laureene,
You can use 2 tsp or 1/2 tbsp in place of a dessertsp.
Regards.
Rose
Thank you!

Dear Rose, Thank you so much for your very informative and wonderful website and also your generousity in sharing your delicious recipes with the world wide web. I am a Malaysian now living in Germany for the past 30 years and I yearn for the Peanut pancake, also know as “Ban Chien Kueh” in Hokkien. Have tried several recipes from the www, but somehow does not seem to be like the original thing, I was wondering if you help as you seem to be someone with so much experience.
Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards, annie
hi Annie,
I do have a few recipes on the said kueh but haven’t tried them out yet. Let me check it out for you and see if I can find a good one.
Regards
Rose
Dear Rose, finally managed to find this page and thank you so much for replying to my query. So sorry but I have drop another comment to you today about the request for the peanut pancake recipe. Am really at my wits end as the one I tried last weekend was not the real thing although my british husband who has never set eyes on the real thing kept on telling me that it was okay. I shall wait very patiently for you recipe. Thanking you and God bless you, Annie
Hi Rose, how do you do. I used the exact same ingredients, however I didnt beat the egg whites separately and follow your method. Instead, I did it the conventional way of creaming the butter and sugar, followed by adding the dry ingredients, however the cake was just like an ordinary cake, a bit like a sponge cake texture. Whats is the difference between doing it the usual way as I did as opposed to the way you suggested which is by beating the egg whites separately and adding to the butter and egg yolk mixture? What’s the significance of beating the egg whites separately and adding to the mixture at the end? Sorry for asking so many questions, hope you would be able to help me out, am new to the baking scene. Thanks heaps…
Hi Rose how are you
Do you have recipe for chicken feet for dimsum?
Thanks

Dear Rose
Thank you very much for sharing so many recipes which I considered very traditional. I just found your site by chance while searching for recipe for butter cake. I notice your measurement is in ounces, and I am used to metric. Please advise the conversion.
Dear Rose,

I can’t either.. I used to follow but forgot all about this.
