Lemongrass beef skewers – book review Vietnamese street food

April 21, 2012

The book I have been reading for the past couple of weeks is all about Vietnamese Street Food.

Carrot cake

April 10, 2012

I’ll let you in on a little secret; up till not so very long ago I always thought that carrot cake wasn’t real. That it didn’t really exist other then in a stupid joke that I heard when I was a kid. The joke was about a bunny going to a bakery asking for a [...]
