Strawberry and Apple Frangipane Galettes
26|03|2019
When two opposite seasons merge, people benefit greatly from the variety of produce on offer. Over here in Australia, apples are at their best, so are the berries. And we are one month into Autumn! I feel so blessed to be living in a country where we are spoilt for choice and our colourful produce … Read More

If you're a fan of nut based desserts, you may have tried a frangipane filling. It's an almond paste that is used to fill tarts, galettes or pastries and is particularly delicious when paired with fruit. Raspberries, when cooked in the filling not only look fabulous but also taste lovely in this … Read More
Blackberry and Cardamom Sour Cream Cake
4|03|2019
It's officially Autumn but I'm still not ready to let go of summer. I've spent the most part of summer overseas so I feel that I haven't made enough treats with berries. Raspberries, being red somehow make way into a lot of my Christmas recipes and I use strawberries and blueberries round the year. … Read More
Orange Amaretti Cookies

Orange Amaretti cookies that are not only extremely easy to make but are flourless and without any butter/oil. The addition of citrus takes it to a whole new level. It can't get easier than this! True, this recipe is such a keeper. Do you like commercial breaks? I love them because I'm always … Read More
Eggless Vanilla Cake
20|02|2019
Eggless recipes are constantly requested on this blog. Whether you are vegetarian or allergic to eggs or just want to keep an eggless recipe handy for those days when you're running short of just one egg (yeah, it happens to me all the time), this cake recipe is for everyone. It is not only simple with no fancy ingredients, the cake is moist, light and delicious. In other words, you're not going to miss the eggs. If you want to have fun with the recipe, try adding nuts, berries or chocolate chips to the batter. It's basically a blank canvas for you to paint on. I'm planning to make it again this week with apples. The weather is inching towards Autumn and apples are filling up the fruit aisles of the markets. Eggless Vanilla CakeMakes a 6 inch round cake 1 and 1/2 cups self raising flour3/4 cup castor sugar1/2 tsp baking soda1 cup greek yoghurt1/3 cup milk1/2 cup vegetable oil1 tsp vanilla extract Preheat oven to 180 degrees C (160 degrees C for fan forced ovens).

Lemon and Coconut Mousse
9|02|2019
I came back after a month long holiday in India to a blazing Sydney. A family wedding, cool winter days and so much fun with family and cousins some of whom I was able to meet after years. I realized I had to push myself to get back into work and creative mode this week. Sydney on the other hand was at it's sunny best when I returned. I almost had a shock when I saw that my backyard had a growth spurt over the weeks it was left unattended. Yet, the lawns and the outdoors have lately become my favourite spot to shoot in. The light, the green vibes and generally the airy feeling has been inspiring enough to get me on my feet. With valentines' day round the corner, I can find more excuses to use floral decorations and bright colours. I was looking for an easy recipe for lemon Curd without eggs for a long time. A lot of friends have told me that they love lemon curd but home recipes tend to have an eggy smell and flavour. Finally, having gone through several different recipes, I came up with this version. There are no eggs, but it has a good lemon flavour with a subtle hint of coconut. The classic lemon curd (with eggs) is still my favourite but this one is great for people … Read More
Berry and Hazelnut Streusel Muffins
16|01|2019
Coffee and muffins! Make me a great one (of either) and I'm sold. Somehow coffee is better with a delicious treat on the side. Muffins have a reputation of being breakfast or lunchbox food and I have to admit I find them especially handy on the go. But that does not stop us from making them exciting by dding another delicious element on the top. These muffins are moist and berry-licious while the crumble/streusel on top makes them crunchy and full of texture. What's so special about these? These are topped with a hazelnut streusel. The streusel is flourless and uses a nut meal/ground nuts instead so the resulting topping is nutty and outright tasty. These have got to be my favourite muffins at the moment. What are your favourite muffin combos? Berry and Hazelnut Streusel Muffins Yields 12 2 and 1/2 cups self raising flour3/4 cup brown sugar150 g unsalted butter, melted1/3 cup buttermilk2 eggs, lightly whisked1 tsp vanilla extract1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen) Hazelnut Streusel Topping 1 cup hazelnut meal1/2 cup roasted hazelnuts, chopped1/4 cup roasted almonds, chopped (optional)1/2 tsp powdered cinnamon1/2 cup brown sugar60 g unsalted butter, … Read More
Strawberry Mini Pies
3|01|2019
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you are having an awesome start to 2019. I haven't made any specific resolutions but spending time wisely, being more organised and self-care is on the top of my list. I realized that though 2018 was a really successful year for my business, it took a toll on my health and I've spent more time working than being able to enjoy the fruits of my labour. I feel that every year, every experience is a learning and January is a good time to reflect and an incentive to pave the road ahead. Did you guys make any resolutions this year? January is also one of those times when the difference in the nature of recipes especially the usage of fresh produce is a stark contrast between the northern and southern hemispheres. We have an abundance of summer produce whilst the other side is cooking up cosy soups and indulgent puddings. Pies are however common around the world. The filling differs from place to place depending on the availability of fruits but who can say no to sweet, mushy fruits encased in crunchy pastry?These mini pies are so easy to make that even my 9 year old-s enjoy helping in the process. And then cutting out designs with cookie … Read More
