Golden Apple Ginger Cake
In life, we meet so many different people. Some just happen to us and some are sent our way. Some of them, we meet and forget and some we create everlasting memories with. There are some who we don't meet often yet they touch our lives in a million ways. They listen to you, inspire you, stand by … Read More
Raspberry Meringue Mille-feuille
The first time I saw Mille-feuille on a cooking show on television, I was head over heels in love with them. Layers of creme patissiere (pastry cream) and fruit sandwiched between crisp layers of puff pastry. There are many adaptations that exist today and they are also known as Napoleon, Vanilla … Read More
Apple and Cinnamon Beignets with Cinnamon Sugar and Butterscotch Sauce
For as long as I can remember, I have associated rains with comfort food. And comfort for me means warm, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, deep-fried, with a hint of spice...that kind of food. The category of food that best fits this kind of craving would be fritters, beignets or pakoras … Read More
Smoked Salmon Scotch Eggs with Orange Radicchio Salad
If you love entertaining and look for recipes that are simple yet impressive, I've got just that for you today. Scotch eggs are great as a starter or a snack or even a side dish. Typically, a Scotch egg is a hard boiled egg encased in sausage meat mixture, crumbed and deep fried. Of course there are … Read More
Gluten Free Bittersweet Chocolate Chunk and Pecan Torte
I hope you all had a lovely weekend. Some of you on the other side of the hemisphere had a long one. I wish ours was as long but nevertheless it was a fantastic one. We celebrated Father's day here in Australia on Sunday. Since my little ones are getting better at keeping secrets we had quite a few surprises planned for Daddy this time. And I was relieved that none of them were given away, innocently.. like the previous years. Between a fancy home cooked breakfast and dinner we planned lunch outside so I wouldn't end up spending the entire day in the kitchen. But the highlight of the day was this Gluten Free Torte. My husband is not too much into desserts but a chocolate indulgence here and there doesn't hurt. So I was not surprised when he chose this Torte out of the options I gave him. Well, if you ask me ANYBODY would. A flourless, butterless cake with bits and chunks of bittersweet chocolate and pecans with the perfect moist gooey texture. It takes a lot on your part to resist the temptation of eating spoonfuls of batter before it goes into the oven and even worse when the Torte is cooling down. I can say with absolute certainty that this is the best thing I have ever … Read More
Mixed Berry and Cardamom Kulfi (Ice Cream) Popsicle
Ever since I came back from my trip to India I have been craving more and more Indian food...the spicy curries, the mouth-watering street food and most of all the sweet treats. The part of India where I have lived for the most part of my life is famous for its sweet shops that fill up every nook and corner of the city. The variety is immense and choices unlimited. Perhaps, that is where my fascination for dessert stems from. I hope to try and recreate as many as I can. To be honest, I have never enjoyed Indian summers as it tends to be humid and sticky and makes you feel tired easily. But there are some delicious ways to beat the heat and that makes up for everything. Kulfi is a frozen dairy dessert, popularly known as an Indian ice cream. It is very simple to make and does not require an ice cream maker. Traditionally Kulfis are flavoured with spices and/or nuts which makes them aromatic and downright delicious. A lot of people make them at home but the best way to enjoy them is from the street vendors who make them look all the more vibrant with different coloured syrups and condiments. During the trip, I enjoyed the street side Kulfi as much as I could, eating two or … Read More
Eggless Chocolate and Passion Fruit Melting Moments
I am back home after a super hectic yet wonderful trip. After eating plenty of good food and gorging on sweets, I would have loved to post a few Indian recipes. Those are sure to follow but today I wanted to post these Melting Moments. Sugar et al has completed 6 months today and a half anniversary was the perfect excuse for me to look back, go through my previous posts and recipes and assess how far I have travelled since I started out. Its been such an amazing journey with the new things that I learnt along the way, the wonderful people who I came across, the different cuisines, creativity, thoughts, ideas that I find everywhere. Funny that I didn't even know that such a beautiful place existed on the Internet before I started. I so love this blog-o-sphere as much as I love you all. I am my own critic. Will it be exaggeration if I tell you that so much of the food I cook and photograph don't make it to my blog? If I am not happy with the way a dish looks it will not be posted and I will start working on something else. I make a rare exception if the recipe is unique or has taken a great deal of effort to make or the gap between my posts are significantly long. So … Read More
Mocha Mousse with Coffee Glazed Hazelnuts and Cocoa Tuile
Isn't it ironical that I am posting about coffee when my morning coffee has just been replaced by a cup of masala chai (spiced tea)! Life has been wonderful. Despite travelling 5000 miles over, I am anything but jet lagged and loving every bit of my break. So have I been missing coffee? Well, not really. I did make sure I had loads of it in my dessert, before I left. This is the first time I am contributing to the Chocolate Party hosted by Roxana's Home Baking and I couldn't be more excited. Chocolate is one word that is probably scribbled all over my blog and has the most number of recipes dedicated to it. When I learnt the secret ingredient for August was coffee, I didn't want to miss it though I knew it would be a little early on a vacation to open my laptop and think 'blog'. So I prepared my dessert and photographed it well ahead in time. I love this pairing! Needless to say it's a decadent, rich mousse, heady with the triple dose of coffee. If you love coffee, this is the dessert for you. To make it totally coffee-ish I glazed the hazelnuts (along with a few cashew nuts) with a bitter-sweet coating of coffee and baked them to crispness. One spoonful of this and … Read More
