This no-knead pizza dough by Jim Lahey is the laziest and easiest dough that one can ever make. All you need are all-purpose flour (don’t even need bread flour!), salt, yeast, water and time (at least 18 hours), that’s it! It’s also an extremely forgiving dough – there are times when I made it the…

![Pasta Aglio e Olio with Sun-Dried Tomatoes [Single-Serving]](https://www.foodiebaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/DSC06070-320x320.jpg)
I received some dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes as a gift when my friend went for a holiday in Greece recently (thanks!) A quick Google shows that they are usually used in pastas and salads etc. So I made a very simple aglio e olio so that the intense flavours of the sun-dried tomatoes can shine.
Vanilla Gelato
I have a love-hate relationship with ice cream. I love eating it, but I hate the calories and fat it gives me. So today I’m sharing a low-fat ice cream recipe! Nah I’m just kidding, I don’t believe there’s such a thing as low-fat ice cream. It’s either you eat it, or you don’t. So if I’m going to…
Spaghetti Aglio e Olio with Prawns/Shrimps

Seafood Pasta al Cartoccio (Seafood Pasta in Parchment Parcels)
Seafood pasta makes frequent appearance on our dining table because seafood cooks fast and they are really satisfying (in terms of look and in terms of belly-happiness). I’ve shared a creamy velouté and a simple and garlicky aglio olio on the blog before, so this time round I’m back with a tomato-based seafood pasta al cartoccio, inspired by one of favourite bloggers who share plenty…
Easy 4-Ingredient Tomato Sauce for Pasta
I’ve been making this tomato sauce for pasta many, many times ever since I stumbled upon it on Smitten Kitchen’s blog – it’s incredibly easy as it’s a dump-everything-in-one-pot kind of sauce and uses only 4 ingredients (Smitten Kitchen uses 3 but I added an additional ingredient just because I think it makes it better!)
Baileys Tiramisu Cake {Christmas Version}
I saw a chocolate Christmas Tree decoration on a white cake on Pinterest recently and I really wanted to try it out because it’s simple and so classy looking! But the problem is I cannot decide what cake to make. In the end I settled with my favourite cake – the Tiramisu Cake.
Creamy Spinach and Mushrooms Pasta
Here’s a second pasta recipe for this month for Little Thumbs Up! This recipe is “borned” when I was trying to clear my freezer items and saw that I have half a package of frozen spinach leaves stashed far behind… oops! Combined with some cream and mushrooms, this is a quick and easy recipe to…
Lemon Cream Prawn Pasta
When I saw the theme for Little Thumbs Up is Noodles, I just couldn’t resist not making a dish for this event!

BBQ Chicken Pizza
