Chocolate, Hazelnut and Pear Friands
I think the title says it all. This is one Heavenly combo that people find irresistible. Pears are fruits that we always have at home. My kids love them and it is their favourite lunchbox fruit as well. The best part however, is that they're great at all stages- ripe, almost ripe and green. The ripe … Read More

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
Raspberry flavoured Maltesers Cheesecake
Disclosure: This post is brought to you by Maltesers. As always all opinions expressed in this post are entirely my own. Apparently Valentine’s Day came twice this year! The first one back in February, was a low key affair but when I had the opportunity to taste these new Raspberry flavoured Maltesers, it was love at first sight. Or you may call it love at first bite. Look at the packaging folks! It’s pink and red :) Armed with these delicious little bombs bursting with flavour and even my pink personalised Maltesers apron, I knew I was about to whip up a delicious storm. Since I can’t have enough of the chocolate – raspberry flavour combo, I thought a cheesecake would be a great way of enjoying them. I’ve not only used them as a decoration on top of the cheesecake but also in the filling. A little warning though, these are addictive so refrain from eating them before they go into the cheesecake. What I was pleasantly surprised though was that they held up to baking really well and turned into gooey puddles of yumminess. The cheesecake is soft, creamy and melt-in-your mouth while the Maltesers add a welcoming little crunch that complements it really well. … 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
