No Yolk, Less Sweet Prol Tape

Tape is loved by many people in Indonesia.

Made by fermenting the cassava, the once hard and starchy roots become soft and sweet and totally heavenly. Used as an addition or the main ingredient in many desserts and drinks, Tape has never failed to please its many fans.

One of the Tape dish that I love for as long as I can remember is Prol Tape. It is a dense, fudgey bar whose texture will remind you of flourless chocolate cake without the chocolate. Funny and rather enigmatic isn't it?

But wait till you have a bite...

Traditionally, Prol Tape is made with many, many egg yolks and heaps of sugar. Boy, it is such a sinful indulgence! Tape itself is sweet already so I try to bring out its original flavor and make it easier for our consciousness by using zero yolk and Tropicana Slim Low Calorie Cane Sugar.

The result is a very light, clean tasting Prol Tape.

But if you are worried that it wont be a Prol Tape without the creaminess that the yolks give, I also make the 'Less Yolk' version but still uses Tropicana Slim Low Calorie Cane Sugar to satisfy your craving and give the Prol a bit of creaminess without going overboard and rise your cholesterol level significantly.

Hazelnut Spread

I took several pictures of MaMiko's upcoming product in the early morning of the last day of December 2012. Nothing much actually, but a little goes a long way. So what do we have here?

Roasted and peeled, what will become of these lovely hazelnuts?

Mmm...

When I was a little girl, I used to love Nutella a lot. I still do, though I don't consume it anymore because I am smarter now when it comes to food than 20 years ago. As a kid, that chocolatey, hazelnutty spread is something I considered as heaven on earth taste. Little did I know how puny the amount of real hazelnut and chocolate involved in the making.

I am not going to badmouth something that gave me comfort and joy in my childhood days. I am just going to lay out the fact of what is contained inside a jar of hazelnut spread; tons of emulsifiers, partially hydrogenated and or hydrogenated vegetable oils or more infamously known as Trans Fat, shortening which is again another trans fat in disguise, and lots of other chemically engineered ingredients. 

Trans fat is made by adding hydrogen to vegetable oil through a process called hydrogenation, which makes the oil less likely to spoil. Using trans fats in the manufacturing of foods helps foods stay fresh longer and have a longer shelf life. But here's the catch; Trans fat increases your LDL (bad cholesterol)  level and lowers your HDL (good cholesterol) level. A high LDL cholesterol level is a major risk factor for heart disease. If your LDL is too high, over time, it can cause atherosclerosis, a dangerous accumulation of fatty deposits on the walls of your arteries.

With that fact known, I have been abstaining my family from a treat so good I can't help but try to make my own hazelnut spread. So I did. 

The result is so out of this world gorgeously delicious!

I promise to my family to always feed them well and keep them away as much as I can from harmful food ingredients. From my home to yours, you too can enjoy MaMiko's Hazelnut Spread.

MaMiko's Granola

At first, these bars were only Amiko's snacks. But I sometimes give them as gifts for my friends who have gluten intolerant kids and my friends who loves healthy snacks. I must thank them for putting this wonderful Granola on their top 10 favorite snacks.

These little power bars have traveled further than myself J

From Paris to small remote island in Thailand they have been, along with my cousins and friends who brought them as travelling snacks.

Bringing your own snacks is a great way to be sure of what you eat.  

This gluten free snack consist of all things healthy and yum; dried cranberries,  golden raisin, dried papaya, oat, rice krispies for a bit of crunch, whole almonds, and ground flax seeds to give you an Omega-3 boost.

Apple Oat Bar

I was asked by some of my customers to make some healthy brownies. I refer them to my Seriously Healthy Brownies. Some just love the uber dark chocolatey taste, though of course it is very dense because it contains no yolk and absolutely no butter, some are just still craving for fudgier brownies.

So I came up with a whole new recipe. It has all the texture real brownies should have but with lots of health bonus; Apple Oat Bar. It is actually supposed to be called a bar, not brownies, because it does not contain any chocolate. But since it has been receiving warm reviews from people who tried it and they just keep saying brownies, I'd say you can just call it: YUMJ

They are fudgy, just the right density, and has a crackly sweet top that just melts right away in the mouth. The oat makes gives it a surprising chewiness here and there and a hint of cinnamon compliments the apple.

MaMiko's Vegan Guiltless Snacks

No more guilty feeling for snacking!

We all love to snack. Be it savory or sweet.

Every Idul Fitri, Christmas, or just about any time of the year we always provide our home with something to nibble when all the family members and friends get together. My goal is to make healthy snacks to make those happy moments merrier and not jeopardize the waist size J

MaMiko has three new vegan, melt in the mouth, snacks that are so delicious you won’t even realize they’re absolutely free from butter and eggs. If you are new to the word vegan; it is different with vegetarian. Vegan means no use of animal product. At all. Vegetarians still consume eggs or cow’s milk, but vegans don’t include any animal product so even egg is not used, cow’s milk is substituted with soy and almond milk, etc.

These snacks are created for people who love lean and healthy food even if they’re not vegan, who are on diets, and mostly.. for people who want to keep snacking without having to worry about how much fat and God-knows-what's-in-it may contain. It is great for all ages and safe for the elderly people who have high blood pressure because it contains very little amount of salt (1gr/400gr of dough).

There are three varieties:

-Vegan Mung Bean Almond

Slightly sweet just to compliment the sweetness of the mung bean.

-Vegan Red Bean Almond

Savory, no sugar added.

-Vegan Pea

Savory, no sugar added. You can choose between almond and cheese for kids.

All the balls are made from Balastra flour. The initial composition of Balastra flour is wheat flour (not white flour), brown and golden flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, rye flakes, edible wheat bran, potato flakes, rye flour, coarse ground spelt, rolled oats, wheat gluten, and wheat germs.

Sounds healthy? Of Course!

These products are dairy free, egg free, shortening free, and margarine free. I mill the mung bean flour, red bean flour, and the pea flour myself, so it’s absolutely preservatives and additives free.

Each bite sized balls is highly nutritious and packed with your daily need of fiber and protein.

Price for every I box of 500gr:

Buy 1 @Rp75.000

Buy 2 @70000

MaMiko's Reduced Fat Quiches

Dearest friends,

Ever since I started selling my quiche around mid 2011, I've received so many lovely feedbacks and I cannot thank you enough for loving them.

MaMiko's quiche is totally made with love and warm thoughts of you. I have always been a big fan of quiche. It's versatile, great to be eaten warm or at room temperature, has a decent shelf life, highly nutritious, fulfilling, and most of all, quiche is such a crowd pleaser that brings a hum-dee-dum feeling that satisfies our taste buds.

I do have to underline that I do my quiche differently. Apart from its high nutritional value, common quiche is laden with saturated fat from the use of excessive yolks, double cream, full cream milk, and not to mention the large amount of shortening, which is something I have never and never will use in any of my cooking, to give a crisp edge to the pastry. For the pastry, I use little amount of butter with no yolk. As for the filling, I do not use cream nor full cream milk. I only use low fat milk and the best vegetables in the market to enrich the flavor. 

I have 3 available fillings of choice:

-Smoked Beef & Mushroom

-Spinach & Mushroom

-Eggplant & Cheese (mushroom by request)

Price: 

22cm diameter Rp125.000,-

13cm diameter Rp32.500,- (min.3 pans)

These lovely quiches are baked on the delivery date. So please always order in advance to ensure the availability of the shiitake mushroom. Why shiitake mushroom? It's simple. As a proud Asian and a health food lover, shiitake packs most fiber and nutrition than other kinds of mushrooms. It renders a distinctive taste to a dish. 

So are you ready to have a delectable, reduced fat quiche?

Click here to order. Be sure to hide a slice from your friends and family. 

They are THAT good J

Wheat Pumpkin Apple Muffin

Oh October, Oh Fall.

Where I live, October is not red, it’s not cold, and certainly there is no sight of carved pumpkins or paper ghouls, though we have never been short on real ghosts, or fall festivals celebrated. No farmers market to be seen, or people cheering about how gorgeous the apples are this year. Nevertheless I miss fall everyday. I love the romance, I love the brown and red and golden hue it paints. 

Being a Virgo, I love the flowers of springs and the life it brings but it’s too cheerful for my taste. Summer, I think it is my least favorite season. I don’t like to go out much and basking in the sun, the fashion is ridiculous and overpriced for a small amount of thin clothing. I am also not fond of hot weather. It simply makes it harder and tiring for me and my lovely pastries when we need to work together in the kitchen. So by all means, fall IS my favorite season not only for its glorious wisdom and richness but also because it prepares me for winter and all its calmness, humility, and occasional grim which is the next best thing that I love.

Ever since I was a child, I have always been captivated by Halloween. Up until now, whenever October comes around, I have that giddy childish feeling and my daughter also shares the same excitement. Too bad that her school doesn’t celebrate it and she feels quite annoyed by it. Usually, like the years before, we celebrate it with close friends and families. This year though, everyone is so busy and we can’t make time to even meet up. That agitates Amiko even more. So to make up for it, since she is a very forgiving child, I decided to make even more variety of Halloween snacks and dishes and she’ll get to decorate them.

One of those Halloween snacks are these Wheat Pumpkin Apple Muffin.

Since pumpkin is abundant for the whole year in Indonesia and it is of course associated dearly with Halloween, I have made these yummy, old fashioned pumpkin muffins that will remind you of autumn’s glory. Cinnamon and clove, our grandmothers’ favorite spices, blended flawlessly in the batter with apple bits in these muffins that’ll transport you back in time. I have to tell you that these are unbelievably moist. I did not use any butter for health reasons and the best part is, they can be frozen and still retain their flavor and moistness. Topped with pumpkin seeds, these lovely muffins can also be a good nutritious breakfast on the run anytime you need it. That is the beauty of living in Indonesia, great fruits and vegetables all year round doesn’t matter the month. Yay!

Flax & Oat Choco Bar-Gluten Free

The weekend is here!

“Baby, a friend of mine is coming over with his boys on Sunday. He’s the architect I told you about and I need him to have a look at our house. The thing is, his wife is out of town for work. So I hope it’s okay for you that I invited him here for a quick brunch. I wonder whether you can make some snacks. You know, those without gluten something. You know, without flour. But make them…yummy, I don’t want the boys to be disappointed and turn to annoy Whiskey  or dip their hands inside Amiko’s aquariums.”

Yes Baby, I know what gluten is.

And Baby, have I ever made something disappointing for our guests?

Cocky me :p

You must forgive my husband, he loves gluten. 

He loves his morning coffee with warm croissants, his pasta piled up high, his curry with stacks of naan, and his quattro fromaggi pizza. He believes gluten shapes the world. His world and lots of other fathers’ world who used to be frat boys.

But in my humblest opinion, come to think of it, gluten actually shapes the world and leaves fewer, if not much, options for people who are allergic to it. In my grand mama’s days, my mama’s, and my younger days, though I strongly feel and do look young right now but I would not bore you with my age issue, the number of people who were gluten intolerant, had celiac disease, or other conditions that required them to undergo a gluten-free diet were not as much as the number we have for the last 10 years. If you happen to notice, the business of healthy food is booming also in the last 10 years, at least here in Indonesia. It’s a wonderful thing though, it means that people have more awareness about their health and their beloved ones’ also it provides more variety of choices to have gluten-free foods.

It is an annoying fact that most people think gluten free foods are not delectable. More annoyingly that it is actually right. So I, and lots of other mothers, believe how important it is to have gluten-free foods especially snacks that will appeal to children and not make them feel obligated to eat those due to their conditions.

I believe food is love. My husband even said that I tricked him into marrying me because I made him endlessly crave for my peanut bar. 

Nope, It’s love. He just hates to say it out loud:D

Anyhow, I want those children to love what they eat. So the snacks should be yummy, not bland, and fulfill their diet requirements. Seeing children who are deprived from foods that their friends could eat could be really heartbreaking. So I want to make them happy in the simplest way, by giving them foods that when they eat it, they would have a BIG smile, almost watery eyes, and say.. EEEENNAKK! Trust me, I know lots of children like those personally.

I can even call this a bar of happiness.

It’s so yummy, high in fiber, and totally gluten free. I mix brown flax seed for a punch of grainy goodness with the oat and some Skippy to balance the taste of the chocolate. So, what will you possibly get if you melt chocolate and peanut butter? Heaven.

Order it now to enjoy this 'I cannot believe it's gluten-free' heavenly bar. Let the people around you who think gluten-free foods are not appetizing try these and I can guarantee you, it's gonna be a great 'I told you moment. 

Share these with your friends and be their boring day's savior. Hand these to your lovely children and you'll feel better about yourself for giving them healthy food and in returns, you'll have their smile. Precious.

Seriously Healthy Brownies

Brownies.

What comes to your mind when you hear that word?

Love, chocolate, heaven, bliss, divine, comfort, true friend, the list could go on forever and I bet the word ‘sin’ will come up in that list. Yes, buttery, chocolatey brownies with oozing marshmallow is a true food for the heart. A tolerable sin.

Brownies have become the staple of women’s comfort food and you don’t need to have a broken heart or a problem to enjoy its blissful taste. You just give it to yourself as a simple reward for a day well spent.

But what if you happen to be watching your weight or you want to have a better health by consuming healthier food and still want to eat brownies? Sure you can. Just treat yourself with a bite. Oh, who are we kidding here? Who would only eat one bite? Unless the brownies ain't yummy. Me, I’d take the whole pan for myself.

My love for brownies, I find it cannot top my love for my family’s health. So I’m wrecking my brain to find a formula for heart friendly brownies. Admit it we shall that a cup of butter mixed with almost half a dozen of eggs, loads of sugar, and melted chocolate are not how you should express your true love to your family especially your kids. So I’m trying to cut those without sacrificing the purpose of eating brownies; Happiness in a bite.

Here is my take on brownies. It is BUTTER FREE, using ONLY WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR, and YOLK FREE. Satisfied? No..I am not easily satisfied, I take things personally. I mix chunks of steamed APPLE in this brownies to add more fiber. The chocolate that I use is purely high quality dutch-processed cocoa powder not chocolate bars nor cooking chocolate. So you can be sure when I say butter free, it’s totally butter free.

Order now!

Low-Fat Apple Pie

I'm a fool for pies.
I can't say no.


Some of my friends asked me why didn't I sell pies.
The answer was actually very simple. To make a great pie, we cannot use disposable aluminium pan like when we want to bake and give dishes such as macaroni schootel. The bottom crust will just not as evenly baked as when we use glass pan or teflon or tin. So why not just sell it along with the pan?


That is the --perhaps not so important-- background story of this divine apple pie.
Now let's get down to the real deal *drooling because of the picture*.
The thing about pie is that the crust is always too fatty.
Oh, I LOVE buttery crust. It's the best thing since the invention of telephone.
But, these are the times of being health conscious and though I love that flaky, buttery crust, I must cut down on the fat for my sake and the people I love.

The crust of this apple pie is made Low-Fat, I do not use butter for the crust. But you can be sure it's not a problem and you won't miss the fat J
It looks elegant, and it is MaMiko's premium product.
Why?
Because it is perfect as a gift for special occasion such as Idul Fitri, Christmas, family gathering, etc. It is also very lovely to be given as a present for your child's teacher, neighbor, co-worker or supervisor in your office, or just simply have it for YOURSELF J

Sold together with the tin pan, this elegant and devilishly divine Low-Fat Apple Pie is 22cm in diameter.

Gluten Free Skippy ChocChip Cookies

These cookies are actually my family's favourite, especially my husband's.
I happen to have a wonderful nephew who is gluten intolerant, so it is such a lovely and safe treat for him and I am happy to bake this all the time for him. For you too as well J
But please don't underestimate and associate the term "gluten-free" with bland and average. These cookies are far from those words. They are scrumptious, nutty, chocolatey, and a good source of protein.
Have these ready in your house and slip them in your child's lunch box or your husband's bag. It's always a sweet surprise to find them.
