She can slice, chop, grate, knead, whisk, juice, blend, and as a result, you can make bread, cake, soya bean milk, fish paste, mayonnaise, rojak .....the list goes on, but we were only shown those few items for starters.... almost as good as a wife, except it doesn't perform conjugal duties, and if Teckiee was grossed out by grated flesh from fingers on a blood coulis....well, .....doing it with the magimix will certainly be a lot more colorful....like these bottles of colorings and essences.
Testimonials #4
Her charsiu recipe for making baos is surprisingly simple and PRETTY GOOD!!!! Of course, since it was chicken char siu, there was no basis for comparison with the other artery clogging stuff we've been eating at places like FSF, but even on its own, the marinade made the meat most delicious, and call it whatever you want, it's great.

I had a wonderful time with my students during the hands-on bread making workshop in Baker's Mall Puchong. Sure glad to have a group of obedient students-as they listen carefully to me on the right method to make good tasty breads.

About Gina
I started to attend cooking classes at the age of 17 mainly on Chinese cuisine, Dian Xin and very little about baking.
In 1984 I joined a company specialize in Swiss cookware as a sales demonstrator. It's the beginning of my career in this industry, working with this company for a year in Singapore I was transferred to Malaysia as an Advertising and Promotion executive. My duty is to train sales demonstrator and personnel, impart product knowledge, the right presentation skills.
I was given the opportunity to work with chefs from renowned hotel, restaurant and also food columnist from Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore in converting their long tedious traditional recipes to a easy cooking concept.
Then come EKS the whole market changes from cooking to baking but with my experiences developing recipes is not a task. It is a wonderful experiences, it gives me the opportunity to develop myself into this field.
Beside this new experiences and extensive members base my recipes has increase tremendously and it range from bread, cakes, pastry, tarts etc.
Today being the Business Development Director for EKS and Baker's One not only I take care of the business development. I have been attending baking/cooking courses to upgrade my knowledge and fine tune my skill in these industries.

Doughnut Making Tips with Baker's One Premix
A year has flown by! And I never managed to even blog on my adventures in creating different agars! Thanks to the various kids birthday parties we've been invited to, I managed to get loads of practice with the various character moulds - that also double up as an edible birthday gift!
Other than agars, I have ventured to baking! I found the perfect mix from Baker's One! Today, the kids and I did donuts (didn't bake, but fried them!)! I must say Baker's One Doughnut Mix was truly idiot-proof and we managed to churn out some really decent looking, and nice tasting donuts! My next venture is to work on another idiot-proof bangkit cookie mix, that hopefully, even whoas my ever critical peranakan aunties! Imagine, a bangkit, where you don't even need to fry the flour, or was it the coconut....its complicated???
See, I made these donuts! Like donut factory???
See, how easy it is, with a great pre-mix!
Step 1 : Get a packet of the easiest doughnut mix from Baker's One!
Step 2: Dissolve the yeast in the water.
Step 3: Add in doughnut mix
Step 4: Knead in the softened butter
Step 5. Leave to rest for 30 min
Step 6. Shape the doughnuts. See my enthusiastic daughter, not even out of her PJs and hard at work, making donuts for daddy's breakfast. Had to cheat a bit and used an O cookie cutter to make the perfect O donuts!
Step 7. The sinful part.......Deep Fry the donuts! Hey! donuts that are almost done, float up!
Step 8. For extra- extravagance - melt chocs to coat it, and my hardworking kids were rewarded with sprinkles to sweeten their delectable donuts! See them lapping it all up, still in PJs!! It was a great sunday morning activity for the kids! Little mess, but lots of fun for them to knead and shape the dough and eat their own freshly made donuts!
In case you were wondering, what's Baker's One. Baker's One is a Malaysia-based baking supply company. Think along the lines of Phoon Huat or Ghim Heng Lee in Singapore.
They have wonderful pre-mixes and what's special is they have pre-mixes for very local cookies - bangkit, green pea cookies. There are also chocolate cookie mix and cake mixes. What I love about it is it's free of preservatives and additives (so the shelf-life of the mixes are short, but you know you are getting them fresh each time).
Next on my list to experiment is the Baker's One pizza mix! Another activity to get my kids to work for their food! Hopefully, I blog about that sooner than a year!
Pizza making
When I have idle time with the kids (which by the way, for a SAHM is rare and an oddity rather than a norm), I usu, find baking or some culinary activity something that the kids and I both enjoy....they do learn something from baking - weighing, kneading and also cleaning up (well, just a bit, thank goodness, we have Auntie Rini to help out).
This time I got hold of Baker's One's Pizza Mix and got our hands dirty doing this.....Actually, my aunt has made many fabulous pizza's from this easy mix. What we love is the dough has dried veges - capsicums and olives and of course no artificial stuff or preservatives....
From a small pack of pizza bread mix - one can easily churn out 3-4 thin 10" diameter pizza bases. This time, we made a few 8" ones and the remaining pizza dough was used to make mini 3" cheese pizzas for my kids packed lunches.
Step 1. Get a pack of pizza bread mix - you'll need also yeast, olive oil and some extra flour for dusting
Step 2. Add yeast to lukewarm, boiled water and stir to thoroughly mix
