Yogurt Strawberry Eton Mess and Q & A Part 1
During the holidays, end of the 2016 everyone was picking up a core word on Instagram for the New Year that would perhaps be the focus for them for that year. There were 'kindness', 'patience', 'acceptance', 'balance' and so on. I thought about it. There were many things to focus on but the one … Read More
Plum Fools With Rosewater
Don't be 'fool'-ed by the appearance of this dessert. It looks like one of those pretty, mousse like treats in a glass that take a bit of time and effort to make but not this one. A fool is nothing but a dessert where cooked, pureed fruit is folded into whipped cream or custard. Its a light, … Read More
Coconut And Raspberry cake
Layers of Coconut and Raspberry Cake with a sweet-tangy, delicious cream cheese frosting and fresh raspberries. It's easy to make and looks impressive. This Autumn hasn't been anything like I expected. Can I call it Monsoon because it has rained pretty much every single day since the last one … Read More
Coffee Cake
Coffee is one of those things that is indispensable to me. Of course, I'm not alone. My morning begins only when I've taken a sip from my favourite mug. Admittedly, I have been late in joining the coffee-drinkers club (only after I moved to Australia) but the love for coffee flavoured desserts dates … Read More
Chocolate Brownie Cake
I was supposed to share a different recipe today but this cake turned out so good that I couldn't wait until next week. After all, what better to make on the weekend than a good chocolate cake. When that chocolate cake is the most fudgy, outrageously delicious brownie cake you have to share it with the world, right?. A perfectly cracked top and a rich, moist interior and above all, a few simple ingredients that are mostly available at home. I've been under the weather this week and this cake got me all excited. I've made enough brownies and cakes in the last two decades to know a really good recipe. This is a keeper! It's Autumn over here and the light is beautiful. A subtle, diffused light that makes me want to stand outside and photograph everything I can lay my hands on. Summer is my favourite season mainly for the beautiful fresh produce it brings with it and I feel a bit sad when it ends but the first few weeks of Autumn are the best where there is an overlap. We are still enjoying plums, peaches and figs but the apples have started arriving and the weather has cooled down substantially. As for this Brownie cake, the beauty of a chocolate cake is that it defies seasons … Read More
White Chocolate Panna Cotta
White Chocolate Panna Cotta served with fresh strawberries, dried pomegranate seeds and cocoa nibs for a delicious sweet treat that comes together in minutes and is also gluten free. My children refer to the Panna Cotta as a 'milk jelly'! Sweet, creamy, jiggly and so delicious, it looks like a dessert that one would have spent time to create wherein the truth is that it is one of the quickest things to make. The fridge does all the work for you. Just like you would flavour milk or any other form of dairy, the Panna Cotta works on the same principle. After all it is a 'jellified' or rather version of milk. The beauty of this dessert is that it is incredibly versatile! Whether you like yours light or decadent or even extra creamy, you can choose between milk, half and half or cream. For people who are lactose intolerant, easily swap milk with dairy free alternatives nut milks, coconut milk, rice milk to name a few. For more healthier variations use buttermilk, yoghurt and natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. Want something exotic? The dairy can be infused with rosewater, lavender, spices, fruit purees or citrus zest! Finally, how can there not be a chocolate version … Read More
Vanilla Funfetti Milkshake
Its been a while since I shared something simple and instant. Milkshake, smoothies and juices are a regular part of my cooking routine in the warmer months. I just don't get to share them as often. While I am a fan of thick smoothies, the twins love their milkshakes. Milkshakes are very reminiscent of childhood and I have delightful memories of sipping in the chilled goodness until there was nothing left but air. We didn't have as many fancy flavour choices back then and my favourite was Vanilla. That has remained unchanged today. To make it a little more dressy, I added whipped cream swirls and sprinkles. Desserts should have an element of drama about them. What say? Vanilla Funfetti Milkshake Serves 1 1/2 cup of 100s and 1000s (or any other sprinkles you want to use) 50 g white chocolate, roughly chopped 1 cup vanilla ice cream 3/4 cup milk 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1 tbsp sugar Whipped cream, to serve extra sprinkles, to serve Place the sprinkles on a shallow plate. Place the white chocolate in a heat-proof saucepan that is placed over a pan of simmering water. Once melted, remove from heat. Dip the rim of the serving glass in the melted … Read More
Baileys Ice Cream Tart
The ultimate romantic Ice Cream treat with a crunchy cookie crust, creamy and decadent Baileys Original Ice Cream filling topped with fresh, juicy strawberries and candied rose petals. It is that season again when we are trying to find exciting new ways of spoiling our loved ones. I know there are mixed reactions when it comes to Valentine’s Day but I am a sucker for all and any reason to eat great food and shower extra kisses on my family. You’ve heard it before. The way to the heart is through the stomach. So food takes centre stage for me when it comes to impressing someone. In the last few years my food philosophy has been to keep it simple and sweet. Instead of dining out, I prefer an intimate dinner with my husband at home followed by an indulgent, cheeky dessert. We set the table together, light a few scented candles, open up a bottle of wine and chat over dinner which is mostly ordered in. Dessert is ready, waiting in the fridge or freezer because I always settle in for something easy and make ahead. This year I’ve got the ultimate decadence of a recipe for you. A Baileys Ice Cream Tart that is not only simple to make but come on, it’s Baileys. It WILL blow your … Read More
