generally ‘raisins’ is like a collective name (for dried grapes) since they are actually the same fruit. the different names make things confusing but from what i know, whatever the difference, they still come under the umbrella term ‘raisins’.

Dried raisins as a specific category are white grapes that darken in colour when dried. Sultanas, apparently, use the same grape but are seedless and treated with sulphur dioxide. So it’s lighter in colour and is commonly known as your golden raisin.

hope that’s helped to clear things up a little.

cakewardrobe: thanks! i do try i leave the traditional to my mum and gramma. i’ll settle for fusion and modernity please, thank you!

grace: indeed. it’s so easy and tasty too. vietnamese cuisine is quite delicious. very similar to thai in my opinion but one of the healtiest cuisines in the world.

amy b: thanks for my mummy’s hug on your blog and sorry to hear you might have left the store with other crazy stuff you weren’t planning on getting. everyone makes that mistake once in a while. if you need help finding out about ingredients, i might be able to help!
