Stained Glass Swiss Roll with Durian Cream Filling

 I was trying to play with the idea of making decorated swiss roll after seeing it at Hanker's website here. Known Hanker since the last few years during her assignment to Miri and wish her all the best in the new assignment.
  This is my first attempt by trial & error and it was quite messy - will try again next time may be with simpler pattern. I was too excited to make stained glass deco - should have just start with a simple pattern like rows of strawberries like Hanker's.
 The ultimate satisfaction from this making is not the look... but when everyone's eyes widely rolled up on the first bite....!! Honestly speaking, this is the most delicious rolls that we all ever had.... I give compliments to my own self in creating the durian cream filling... such a heaven with smooth, naturally sweeten cream mixed with fresh durian pulps!! One roll was highly complained as not enough!
To make decorated swiss rolls, you can use any recipe. Below is my favourite one.

Hasil kreativiti Along sendiri, terjadi lah kombinasi swiss roll & durian krim yang memang takda tandingan nya dgn filling yg lain (pada selera Along & famili lah k....hehe). Satu roll ni sekali hadap terus abis, semua komplen sedap sangat sampai tak cukup....hehehe!

Green Peas Cookies II (Biskut Kacang Peas II)

 This will be my last entry of Idh Adha menu.... I love this cookies so much & didn't have enough during the last Idh Fitri (see here) so I decided to make again but this time using my old Peanut Cookies recipe and made just a simple marble shape (after the last lesson....). I love the peas aroma and melt-in-the-mouth sensation....!
I'm using Mazola Cookies (replaced peanuts with peas) which recipe is from a very old newspaper cutting (I think it was Utusan Malaysia) that I've been keeping since I was in primary school (see photo below). I love baking & cooking since I was very young and collected a lot of recipes since then. This is one of my favourite recipes ever since. Many of my recipe collecions were lost or damaged when I left home but this one safe until now because I brought it with me when I went to study in London.
