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 … 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
Chocolate, Almond and Strawberry Cake
This winter is giving me all the reasons to bake! It is so cold in my part of town plus it's been raining and there is very little scope for any outdoor activity. I love the sunshine especially in the colder months but there is also the prospect of getting better photos on a cloudy day than those days when the sun is shining bright in my backyard where I normally shoot. So I ended up baking 7 cakes in 6 days. Yeah, I'm amazed at myself where I go for days feeling like I have nothing new to add or nothing better to create. And then there are these bursts of energy on certain days when I don't have enough hours to give shape to my crazy imagination. Chocolate, almond and strawberries in a cake speak for itself. All the great, stuff, right? And the bonus is that the batter can be made in one pan. Just mix and pour! The buttercream is actually chocolate flavored, made with cocoa powder and tinted with red food gel colour. I've been meaning to make a red frosting for months and finally got my chance. Chocolate, Almond and Strawberry Cake Makes a 6 inch round cake 150 g unsalted butter, room temperature 1 and 1/2 cups brown sugar 3/4 cup … Read More
Beet Chocolate Cake
One of the things I greatly look forward to in Autumn is the abundant availability of beet. To be honest, Sydney is a city where you could buy pretty much any fruit or vegetable round the year (maybe costly though), but there is something about beets that I associate with winters as a child. I loved beets since I was little. However, my kids don't. Unless its hidden inside a beet cake or turned into a relish, served in a delicious burger. A few years ago, I wouldn't even tell them there were beets in the cake and they would go for it as they would go for any chocolate cake. Now even though they know it, they really don't mind. The great thing about a beet chocolate cake is that you don't taste the beets if you use a good dutch processed cocoa powder. And the cake benefits from the texture and nutrition of the beets. The Beet Chocolate Cake is very simple to put together and uses a bit of dark chocolate as well as cocoa powder to give it that chocolately taste. What I like the most is that you don't have to melt the chocolate separately. I'm always happy with recipes that don't need too many dishes and pans :-) Typically most beet cakes will have a no-brainer chocolate frosting. … Read More
Baked Cardamom Ricotta Cheesecake with Western Union for Mother’s Day
This post is brought to you by Western Union. All opinions expressed in this post as always are entirely my own. Mother’s Day every year is a walk down memory lane. Precious moments from childhood, the countless times Mum put us first in her life, her persistent encouragement through all these years and the lessons that she taught us for life. Some of my fondest memories growing up were when I would watch her in the kitchen cook with deft and skill with a handful of ingredients and turn them into a delicious 5 course meal. She was (still is) a clever cook, always ready with some useful tip or trick up her sleeve. ‘Cooking doesn’t have to be cumbersome.’ she would say whilst entertaining a large number of guests every weekend who were always in awe of her. The most important culinary lesson I’ve learnt from her that I embrace all the time in my kitchen- simple ingredients and lots of colour. Today Mum is far away back in India but I feel closer to her by recreating her ‘sondesh’ with a modern touch to it for my little boys. I’m absolutely delighted to be partnering with Western Union for this very special day. As a result of moving money across 200+ countries, Western … Read More
