Blanched Asparagus with Healthy Hollandaise Sauce Recipe
So, Asparagus and Hollandaise, a classic combination. Now, when I say healthy hollandaise sauce, I mean a healthier alternative. Hollandaise will never be completely healthy because a lot of fat is required. The same goes for other emulsification sauces. What makes this hollandaise sauce healthier you ask?

Rum Flavoured Salted Caramel Sauce
Believe it or not, this post is not supposed to be about rum flavoured salted caramel sauce, it is actually supposed to be about a Morrocan flavoured lasagna. But it completely failed. Turns out that yoghurt dries out when you stick it in a hot oven. Not to mention that the filling didn’t have enough…
