In this blog itself, there are all kinds of mousse recipes...some with egg … Read More
Spiced Apple Cake
Our lives are full of choices and we are so lucky to have them. Whether it is the way we lead our lives or the food we eat, our options are abundant. When I was little, I knew the apple as a favourite fruit at home. As I grew older I learnt about a few different varieties and today we have apples … Read More

Caramel Cupcakes Aka Golden Cupcakes for Mother’s Day
Glittering, glowing and shiny things are a favourite around these parts. Yeah, if I had an option I would serve my roast chicken with gold dust and maybe some sprinkles. Hahaha! So much for my edible fantasies. On a serious note, what can be more precious than your Mum? So it is only fitting that I … Read More
Matcha Lime Tartlets
I have a bag of dessert tricks that come handy when I need a true dessert without having to spend a few hours in the kitchen. I do like mug cakes and crumbles and grilled fruit but I'm talking about desserts that would have heaps of flavour, look pretty and yet come together in minutes. My greatest go-to of all times for these treats is ganache. Dark, milk or white chocolate, there are various ways of playing around with them. Ganache is nothing but a mixture of cream and chocolate. By infusing the cream with different flavours, one can create a multitude of sweet treats. I've infused Matcha (green tea) with white chocolate in this case. Since white chocolate is really sweet, I've balanced the sweetness with a bit of lime juice. That it! Quick and easy. If you don't have access to matcha, skip it and you'll still have delicious lime white chocolate tartlets. The tart cases are store bought in this case. If you are up to making your own from scratch, go ahead by all means. I almost always have the pre-baked ones at home that I fill up with sweet or savoury fillings for my children's lunchboxes. For all those who are new to making dessert, these are great to serve up on … Read More
Honey and Poppy Seed cake
Layers of Honey and Poppy seed cake with Rosewater Swiss Meringue Frosting, sprinkled with finely chopped pistachios and dried edible rose petals. Mother's day is around the corner and my excitement goes up by several notches at the thought of all the pink and floral creations that I will find an excuse to make. If only I could have them delivered to my own Mummy who lives in an entirely different continent. My children come up with all kinds of cute surprises with the help of their of school. Daddy of course plays a big role in all the hush hush exchanges that go on between them in that week and a customary 'breakfast in bed'. You know, I am not at all a breakfast in bed kinda person. Yikes! I need to brush my teeth and sit down to a proper breakfast which I've already communicated to them in so many ways.Hopefully someone will get the message:-) Coming to this cake, I had intended to post the recipe during Valentine's Day but later on felt that it might be more suited to a Mother's Day kind of occasion. Something light, aromatic, delicate and very delicious. The rosewater-pistachio-honey combination are a bomb together. Poppy seeds add an extra bit of crunch. If you are … Read More
Sweet Breakfast Flatbread
If you follow me on Instagram, you might be familiar with my love for colourful, fruity sweet breakfasts by now. Parfaits, bruschettas, flatbreads, crepes, overnight oats and so on. I love food that is unconventional and yet simple to make so I make them often. Not only are they a great way of eating a variety of fruit but they also don't make you feel guilty afterwards. Guilt free indulgence as we call it! Though I post these often, I've never bothered to put up a recipe because these are mostly made out of a mish mash of things from my refrigerator and I hardly ever measure anything. Now since I find quite a few of my followers asking for these recipes, I'll post them anyway with approximate amounts. If you get the idea, it's not that difficult to adjust the portions to your liking. The great thing is that they can double up as a healthy dessert or even a snack. I used my pizza dough recipe to make the flatbread. You could use any kind of bread or flatbread. If I've made naan for dinner the previous night, I sometimes reserve a portion to top with fruits the next morning. If you want to serve it for a get-together, swap the bread for puff pastry and it's still … Read More
Baileys Glazed Doughnuts for Easter
Baked chocolate doughnuts with a decadent Baileys Chocolat Luxe Glaze, topped with hazelnut praline and mini chocolate eggs. The perfect Easter treat for adults. This year I’m hosting an Easter Brunch. Am I excited? I’m super egg-cited. Not only because I have a delicious spread planned well but more so because I am making sure my guests are totally impressed with my menu. Easter is a great time to have fun as a family but amidst the egg hunts, candy eating and bunny costumes, adults can sometimes feel left out of the loop. It’s a long weekend plus gorgeous autumn weather and a great occasion so every reason to indulge with food. Like always my menu includes plenty of make ahead dishes. Dessert of course, was a no-brainer! When I need a true blue, blow-your-mind-off kind of dessert, I just have to turn to Baileys. Who doesn’t love Baileys? This time I decided to use the Baileys Chocolat Luxe liqueur. Rightly named, it is luxe, it’s dainty, it’s indulgent, it’s special and oh so amazing! Picture the fusion of Belgian Chocolate, Irish whiskey and cream in a liqueur. And then imagine this liqueur in your dessert (that is if you can stop yourself from not drinking … Read More
