These Lemon Pistachio Cornmeal Muffins from the Baked Elements cookbook are one of my favourite modern takes on a classic corn muffin! A really delicious twist on a classic corn muffin, with the added pizzaz of pistachios and lemon!

Learning about Basic Dumpling Wrappers
I’ve had the acclaimed Asian Dumplings book since forever, but I haven’t exactly made anything from it until recently, when I finally managed to pick out which recipe I wanted to start with. Every time I flip through this book, it gets more and more difficult for me to find just one recipe to do first. Everything looks amazing! And especially for a dimsum-lover like myself, it’s fairly difficult to resist the photos. If I’m not intending to make any dumplings, I try to avoid looking through this book because every time I do, I always end up holding a dimsum menu in a Chinese restaurant.

I didn’t actually know anything much else about it, only that…

So I began saving up mid last year for the cookbooks on my wishlist, setting aside a little bit of money from my school allowances and salary in a tiny white envelope which I labeled, creatively, my “Cookbook Fund”. And then when I got into browsing Amazon for cookbook recommendations, another envelope was born, this time labeled “Amazon Fund”. I picked about a dozen books which I decided Amazon offered the best value for, and about 4 months later, I was able to gather enough money to buy my top 11 cookbooks plus an ice cream maker. Upon clicking that little “Add to cart” button, I was filled with mixed…

{Cookbook Crazy} Sarabeth’s Bakery: From My Hand To Yours
Seeing as cookbooks play such a large and important part in my life as a cooking and, most especially, as a baking enthusiast, I don’t know how it never occurred to me to write about them here until now. I do not buy cookbooks as often as perhaps I do regular fiction books, but every time I add a carefully selected new cookbook to my collection, it is truly a feeling like no other as far as buying books is concerned. Even just thinking about buying a new cookbook gets me so excited! Oh, be still my heart. My cousin gave me a bookstore gift card for my birthday back…
