Honey Joys Cornflakes



Honey Joys Cornflakes is a favourite among kids. Not only its a healthy snack, one can also serve it during festive period.



Some Interesting Facts:




  • The accidental legacy of corn flakes goes back to the late 19th century, when a team of Seventh-day Adventists began to develop new food to adhere to thevegetarian diet recommended by the church. Members of the group experimented with a number of different grains, including wheat, oats, rice, barley, and corn. 
  • In 1894, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, the superintendent of The Battle Creek Sanitarium in Michigan and an Adventist, used these recipes as part of a strict vegetarian regimen for his patients, which also included no alcohol, tobacco, or caffeine. The diet he imposed consisted entirely of bland foods.

Pineapple Tarts



Pineapple Tarts remain to be our traditional and classical cookies served during our festive periods. However most people find it a hassle baking this as you will need to prepare the pineapple jam in advance. We need to caramelize the grated fresh pineapple under slow flame before preparing the pastry. 



But you know what? After all the long haul, when you see and taste the final product, the feeling is phenomenal. The rich, buttery and melt-in-the mouth texture makes it so irresistable and all the hard work is worth it.


Some interesting facts :
* Pineapple tarts or nanas tart refers to small, bite-size pastries filled with or topped with pineapple jam found in different parts of Asia. 
* In South East Asia exists one form of pineapple tart. A different form of pineapple tart, also known as pineapple pastry or pineapple cake, is found in Taiwan.
* Typical shapes include a flat, open tart topped with pineapple jam under a lattice of pastry, rolls filled with jam that are open at the ends and jam-filled spheres.
* In Indonesia nastar (Ananas or pineapple tart) is a popular cookies or kue kering during festive occasions of Lebaran and Natal
* Considered a "festive cookie", pineapple tarts are usually consumed during Hari RayaChinese New Year and Deepavali periods in Singapore and Malaysia.
The Taiwanese version of pineapple tart is known as fènglísū (鳳梨酥). The filling is fully enclosed within a rectangular tart. Generally the taste is sweet due to sugar added. 
*In Australia the term often refers to a variation on the Neenish Tart, with pineapple jam below the filling, and passionfruit icing.
