I am a snacker and I'd probably have eaten more snacks in my body weight than drank coca cola in this lifetime. Infact, I take my snacking very seriously because, calories should not be wasted on bad food (which is ironic because nutritionists would say, snacking in itself is bad). Snack First is the place to go if you're a snacker like me, nuts, dried fruit, granola, cookies, biscuits and even crackers are part of their inventory. Shopping on their website made me as happy as a fat kid in a candy store. I would have ordered everything to sample and here were my picks from their new product range! Italian Spices Cashew Shiok Wasabi Green Peas Abalone Creamy Macadamias Sambal Shrimp Rolls (Hae Bi Hiam) Antioxidants Medley (Dates, walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, raisins) Satay Cashews I love how these snacks come in resealable satchets, which retain the freshness of these snacks. Well the assumption is they do not get polished off in a single seating. I particularly enjoyed the c...

~Invited Tasting~ Each year Nespresso creates eagerly anticipated limited edition coffees to continually surprise and delight as well as deliver new sensory pleasures to some of the world’s most discerning coffee lovers. Did I already say I love limited editions? I could be a tad late sharing this news but Nespresso fans do rejoice!

In contrast, Tribute to Palermo is a powerful, intense and full bodied ristretto. These prints are so pretty! Nespresso is synonymous with quality and the new Limited Edition ristrettos, Tribute to Milano and Tribute to Palermo are mad...

I recently crossed my first year of cooking in the kitchen and have definitely come a long way since my first meal of beef stew and baked eggs. I have amassed enough kitchen mishaps to even write a book and so far the Hubba is thankful he survived the first year without a single tummy upset. 2015 began on a high and very ambitious note of wanting to accomplish 52 recipes by the end of year and for sure, I was worried of not being able to even complete half but I am glad to say, I have already sailed past the 52 nd mark with brilliant colours – all thanks to the variety of ingredients and noobcook recipes that make my live easier than easy. Perfect Italiano cheeses are a staple in my already bursting fridge because they offer a simple solution to my everyday meals. Fact is, homemade meals do not need to be difficult, complex, time consuming or stressful. Perhaps in my Mom’s and Grandma’s days, the mark of a real housewife is the number of hours spent behind a stove but not in my gene...
