French Toast - - Chinese Style

New Yorkers were able to enjoy a snow day due to the blizzard that hit our area. I celebrated with a leisure breakfast: French Toast, Chinese style. The main difference between Chinese and American style French toast is the topping. Chinese-style use condensed milk and American-style use maple or pancake syrup.

Chinese Almond Cookies


The Chinese Almond Cookies recipe is from Pichet Ong's cookbook "The Sweet Spot: Asian-Inspired Desserts."  Almond cookies to Chinese people is similar to how chocolate chip cookies are to Americans; it's one of our notorious dessert items. People can find them in Chinese bakeries and supermarkets.
