Just what I need.

Photobucket
Moleskin has a new addition to their family named Passions. It is a series of journals (book, film, music, recipe, wellness, and wine) that represent your interest and passion in life.

The recipe journal is just a perfect fit for me to kick start my grandmama's cooking journey and experiences.

Out of the blue.

Decided to try out this Italian restaurant named Leonardo's at Bangsar and overall, the food and service was good! The seafood was fresh, the amount of mushrooms was generous and I just love their pork. Not to mention their pizza crust was crispy and their homemade tiramisu was one of the best I've ever tasted =D Enjoy the piccas...

Photobucket

Recipe taken from Cooks.com

Ingredients:-
• 1/2 cup butter
• 4 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate
• 2 eggs
• 2 egg yolks
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour

Directions:-
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Butter and flour four 4 ounce ramekins or custard cups.

2. In the top half of a double boiler set over simmering water, heat the butter and the chocolate until chocolate is almost completely melted.

3. Beat the eggs, egg yolks and sugar together until light colored and thick.

4. Beat together the melted chocolate and butter. While beating, slowly pour the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, then quickly beat in the flour and mix until just combined.

5. Divide the batter between the four molds and bake at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) for 6 to 7 minutes. The centers of the cakes will still be quite soft. Invert cakes on serving plates and let sit for about 15 seconds, then unmold. Serve immediately with fresh whipped cream, if desired.
