On Monday night I attended the book launch party for the new cookbook, Lick Your Plate, by Lisa and Julie of BiteMeMore. It was a fun and delicious evening that I spent with familiar faces like LiveForCake, MyKitchenLove and PorkNinjas and I also met a couple of new ones too! We were treated to cocktails and refreshing iced tea drinks filled with fresh ingredients of herbs and fruits by sponsors, Pure Leaf Tea. There were also lots of scrumptious canapes and bite sized desserts that were all from the new cookbook. I had the chance to pick up a copy and had it signed by the lovely authors and sisters. It is an amazing book filled with colourful pictures on almost every page. I’m also impressed by how thick it is. There are so many recipes (160!), you can never run out of meal ideas. Some of these dishes include Pho Noodles (!), Herb Crusted Beef Tenderloin with Mushroom Red Wine Sauce and even Easy Fudge Brownie!

I’ll be drawing one lucky winner to win this signed copy of Lick Your Plate. Just click on the link which will take you to my Instagram page. Leave a comment that you want to be included and that’s it! No need to tag your friends, follow or regram etc. It’s about bringing something fun and special to all of you 🙂  I’ll be drawing one winner on April 12th and you do need to be a resident of either Canada or USA to be included.

Below are a few snapshots from the night. And if you want to see more of my life in Vancouver, just add me on SNAPCHAT: indulgewithmimi .

Until our next delicious rendevouz.

XOXO,

Mimi

    • Thank you so much Lorena,

      Yes, these are macarons on a stick. I believe they are called #macapops 🙂 The swirls are always fun. There’s a tutorial on my Youtube channel if you also want to make multi-color macarons 🙂

      XOXO,

Exotic Fruit Macarons I’ve always wanted to make lychee-flavoured macarons. This exotic fruit from China has a hard, rough, pinkish-red shell. The bouncy, translucent flesh within is both sweet and sour. Its juiciness and fleshy composition is comparable to that of grapes. Every time I go back to Asia, I would make a conscious effort […]

  Using Real Lavender Buds for Lavender Macarons Lavender is one of my favorite flowers to use in my macarons, it has an aromatic and clean note which is very delicate. Used in the proper quantities, it can be fresh and uplifting, but moderation is key here since there can be “too much of a […]

My bear macarons were invited to be part of the Panda fun at the first birthday party for MurDeFleur’s little princess. It was a fabulous purple, black and white panda themed party styled by ChicFete. It offered me a perfect opportunity to try out some of the new supplies I bought while in Chicago. Disco Dust was an item which was particularly hard […]

UPDATED on OCT. 4: one bolded section below Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to you all! If you don’t know already, this Chinese celebration is liken to the Western Thanksgiving as its origins were tied to celebrating the end of the harvest season. One of the most important and symbolic customs during this time is the sharing of mooncakes between family and friends. Mooncakes […]
