Mandarin and Hazelnut Cake
One bowl Mandarin and Hazelnut cake. Easy to make, moist, nutty and delicious. It is the last day of winter here in Australia! Am I sad? No way, I'm too excited for Spring. The roads near my house are a treat to the eyes with cherry and apple blossoms trees plus huge magnolia flowers in full … Read More
Blueberry Galettes
There is an abundance of gorgeous blueberries around here at the moment. Another thing to love about Spring in Australia! Though officially it is still winter, the arrival of blueberries and blood oranges indicate that citrus season is going to be taken over by berry season pretty quickly. And if … Read More

Easy Tiramisu Cups
Light, easy and deliciously coffee-ish Tiramisu cups. Egg-less and quick to put together. Sometimes it is so nice to forget about seasons and seasonal produce and just think of DESSERT! Aka sweet, creamy, indulgent, moist, gooey, addictive....you get my point? Dessert without planning, without complicated ingredients, without neat layers or perfectly piped tops. Just the pleasure we derive from a simple but seriously delicious treat. I am huge fan of the classic Tiramisu but two things I don't enjoy are that they call for raw eggs and they do involve a few dishes and some work. Absolutely worth it for the gorgeous flavour and texture they turn out to be but not every time one would have the zeal to go through the entire process. I choose to still make it by cutting out the complicated steps, keeping it's core ingredients intact and converting them into more-ish little portions that are so easy to whip up. Texturally these are creamy but light. When we did away with the eggs, we also took away some of the richness of the dessert and gave them an airy, moist texture. But the king is always the coffee. A intense shot of espresso does wonders as much as a good quality … Read More
Rosewater Panna Cotta Tartlets
Delicate and delicious Rosewater Tartlets with a biscuit base and a panna cotta filling. No bake, no eggs and just very simple to put together. For the longest time I have been wanting to do something different with my photography and styling. While it's flattering to hear things like 'I can recognize your photos from a mile away' or 'your signature style' from my beloved followers, I'm a creative through and through. In my mind I grow and evolve only when I can constantly overcome new challenges or am able to do something entirely different. I think we all go through phases where we just want to experiment. We want to step out of our comfort zones. Sometimes we don't know where to start and at other times we are afraid whether our experiments would be accepted by the community we have built around our 'signature' styles. So when I made these delicious tartlets and shot them in the usual way I would, the pastel colours inspired me to do a second round of photography with a whole different setup. I'm all about pinks and mauves so I was pleased with the results. However, though these images were loved by my audiences on Instagram, I received so many messages requesting me … Read More
Eggless Mango Mousse
Mango season!!! Alas, not here. But everywhere else it is mango season. Yeah being down under sometimes does make me feel a teeny bit isolated from the rest of the world in terms of food and seasons. But the virtual world more than makes up for it and I am able to share my favourite recipes for the northern hemisphere to enjoy. I had shot a few mango creations back in our summer days for my stock photo agency. Food images however, don't make sense to me without a delicious recipe or the story they narrate. So I always take the opportunity to make something quick and easy that I could photograph as well as serve to my friends. And of course, any excuse to eat mangoes or for that matter, even mousse! This is one of the easiest mousse recipes I have tried out. Actually, I've eaten this kind of mousse a number of times back in India where patisseries and cafes would usually avoid the egg in desserts as they would cater to many vegetarian customers. Since the quantity of fruit puree is significantly higher to the quantity of cream, the fruit literally sings in your mouth. The cream is only there to give the eggless mango mousse a body and some extra creaminess. The colour and … Read More
Cappuccino Cheesecake
If you are a coffee lover, take your caffeine addiction to a whole new level with this cheesecake. A simple cookie crust with a creamy coffee spiked filling and some luscious whipped cream on top, this is like a delicious coffee hug in these cold winter nights. I'm not sure if I say this every winter, but this year I really do feel like curling up inside my blanket and never coming out. School holidays are about to begin next week and I'm actually looking forward to sleeping in. Talking about holidays, it is the perfect time to whip up some new creations so I'm looking forward to that too. Is there anything you want me to create or perhaps see in this space? If you've been with me for a while, you know that I'm a big fan of baked cheesecakes. They are always forgiving and flexible. You could go with your choice of cookies for the crust, substitute sour cream with yogurt and add more coffee if you like. I've even made a version of this with a shot of espresso some time ago. While the coffee connoisseurs loved it, others found it too strong. So here I've just stuck to instant coffee. I hope you all are enjoying the seasons in your part of the world. The great thing … Read More
