Perfect Homemade Cookies for any festive season and discover where to get your Pandan fixed in Australia
Food plays a central role in many celebrations, and the recent Chinese New Year (Year of the Snake) festival, as well as the upcoming Hari Raya or Eid-al-Fitr, are perfect examples. As we begin planning for Eid-al-Fitr 2025, which falls on March 30th, it's clear that the celebration wouldn't be complete without its array of snacks, cookies, sweets, pastries, tarts, and candy. What's fascinating is that many of these foods carry special symbolism, making them even more meaningful during the festivities.
"Keep your Pandan on, there’s a new food trend!" Or so says Nigella Lawson. Being the Domestic Goddess she is, one can only take it as a message from the Gastronomical Oracles! We can now expect everything from chicken marinade, desserts, facial mask to ice-cream and Gin or Rum to be flavoured with this simple South East Asian plant.
Today, we're excited to share this Pandan Coconut Crisp recipe from Julia, which is also perfect for Raya or any upcoming festivals. If you haven’t yet embraced the wonderful flavour of PANDAN, now's the perfect time to give it a try!
Other delightful sweet treats for festivals include Pandan Polo Pao (Pandan Pineapple Bun), a beloved Hong Kong classic that Julia, one of our regular home chefs, makes an amazing version of. You’ll also find almond cookies, peanut cookies, Kueh Bangkit, and more. Each of these treats is incredibly irresistible—you simply can’t say no to them, and more often than not, one is never enough!
