Craving for delicious foods drives me to be creative in my kitchen all the time. Thanks to my intolerance of all refine foods such as white flour, white rice and sugar, transition to use whole grains through sourdough fermentation, soaking and sprouting seeds has opened a whole new world to me! All my recipes share the same principle of low fat/oil, almost no added sugar/honey, whole grains and as much fermentation Incorporated as possible to unlock its nutritional value and plus lots of made ahead secret ingredients that I've learned over the years.

Steamed Black Glutinous Rice Cake Steamed Black Glutinous Rice Cake
First trial :) texture of the cake is a bit chewy because of the glutinous rice flour :) I used 21 cm diameter pan.The oil/butter used in this recipe is quite a lot. Because the glutinous rice flour somehow absorb a lot of moisture otherwise the cake will get harden the next day. I tried to cut down the oil/butter by half and it doesn’t turn out well 😂

Sweet Potato Cake Sweet Potato Cake
I had 1/2 of a sweet potato leftover so I decided to make a cake with it. It weight just 250g...and I used 1 pack (200ml) of soy milk, so there are no leftovers after making this cake.If you don't have any pancake mix, you can use 2 tablespoons of cake flour and 1/3 teaspoon of baking powder sifted together iinstead. If you only mash the sweet potato roughly, the cake will have a chunky texture. Recipe by invitro
