This combination of pistachio and rose is common in Middle East. First bite to it reminds me of Turkish Delight, but definitely I like shortbread cookies better than the sticky super sweet Turkish Delight chews.

Recipe adapted from Rachel Yau’s Seasons at Rachel’s Kitchen.

I always hope to get a smooth cake top like the sponge cake guru Jeannie Tay’s cake.  My cakes usually cracked at the top no matter how careful I prepared the meringue / adjusted temperature according to my naughty oven.  The latest failure is a super funny one… and I baked this cake in the same week of Halloween too, make it super spooky.

I lost count of how many waffle makers I own:  once own a basic 2 pieces square waffle maker, then a 5-in-1 George Foreman grill/waffle maker, then a heart shape 5 pieces waffle maker, then making homemade ice cream led to purchase of a ice cream waffle cone machine.  My latest addition was Breville 4 slices Smart Waffle Maker.  Not to mention my crepe machine and a 3-in-1 Cuisinart crepe/tortilla/pizzelle maker.  However, the waffle maker out of all that I used the most frequent is my beloved bubble waffle maker (the metal mould with a long wooden handle that requires stovetop fire). Here is the recipe I love the most, courtesy of “I Love Cake” bake shop which prints its recipe at Ming Pao weekly food magazine (p. 31, May 20, 2011)
