Roasted Red Pepper And Strawberry Soup
The weather in Sydney has little to do with soup at the moment. It certainly has a lot to do with strawberries.They are in abundance and I thought it was time I get a little creative with them. I have to admit, I am a bit tired of eating them raw or with breakfast, dessert and drinks. I've made … Read More

Lemon Meringue Tart
Happy National Pancake Day! I know, there's no pancake in this post. But you know what! I am so bad in remembering days other than a few birthdays and some important dates that I am making it a a point to be a bit more aware and alert this year. Actually, I did forget again but thanks to Instagram … Read More
Pots de Creme with Rose and Pomegranate
Rose flavoured desserts were a big part of my childhood. While flavoring milk, cardamom, saffron and rose would take precedence over chocolate and vanilla. Even before I tasted anything with rose, the colour of the dessert/drink would catch my eye. Rose pink as they call it. Such a … Read More
Apple Cinnamon Cupcakes with Honey Buttercream
I simply love February! All that pink, red, mush, chocolate, wine.. I love it! As I am growing older, I seem to have a renewed liking for V day (though I expect it to be otherwise). Food is an integral part of any big day so the fact that some of the major celebrations like Christmas, Australia day and V day fall in summer for us, makes my liking go up by a few levels. Raspberries, cherries, plums in Feb...more reasons to love! Red inspiration is right there at the fresh produce markets. I'll come to all of that soon. I have many romantic desserts coming up for you but today I'm sharing something every day...something lunchbox or you can call it an after school treat. Apple Cinnamon Cupcakes. Yes, the Mum in me has to think of nutrition and healthy lunches as well. When did cupcakes become healthy...you might be wondering. The cupcakes are actually great! Minus the frosting you may call them muffins. They are tasty and make a delicious apple filled snack. This is where the pastry lover in me steps in and wants to frost them. A treat once in a while is fine, don't you think? My boys love cupcakes so when they are at their best behaviour, I do reward them....the muffins … Read More
Chocolate Cream Tartlets
I notice a connection between tarts and Australia Day in my house. Whether simple or complicated, I seem to be making a tart/tartlets every year on this holiday. I think its because tarts are a great way of serving and eating summer fruits. Last year I made an Ice Cream Tart with an Anzac crust and was pleased with myself for coming up with a make-ahead dessert that took away a lot of stress from my lunch menu. This year I wasn't as planned or organised after returning from my holiday so I decided to keep things really simple and make these Chocolate cream tartlets. Using store bought tart shells, I filled them up with a chocolate whipped cream first thing in the morning. They were in the refrigerator until lunch time and I added cherries and raspberries just before serving along with a sprinkling of finely chopped almonds and pistachios. I was surprised that they went down a treat. To be honest I was feeling guilty and expecting everyone to be disappointed that there wasn't something more exotic on the table. There were cupcakes too that I'll post next but then again cupcakes are not considered dessert at my place. These tartlets are not just simple to put together, but … Read More
Easy Tandoori Chicken And Grilled Peach Salad
Is it too late to say "Happy New Year'? I am just back from a long break and very excited to be talking to you once again. I wish each and every one of you a fabulous 2016 and hope that all your dreams come true this year. It's been many many years since I've spent an entire month doing nothing, worrying about nothing, just taking in all the good and all the love around me, being spoilt and savoring each day to perfection. I am grateful for this beautiful start to the New year. On the first day, it seemed like a big transition coming from winter (back in India) to very warm temperatures in Sydney. And a huge effort to settle down into routine. But there was this incentive to come back to. Summer! Bright summer and brighter summer produce. Tomorrow I'll be going to the farmer's market but I couldn't hold myself back from checking out the summer bounty at the local store. This is an easy, delicious salad that looks like a lot of work but is actually a breeze to make. It is filling, healthy and extremely flavorful. A slightly spicy chicken with sweet, juicy caramelized peaches, summery tomatoes, crunchy rocket and a tangy yogurt dressing. (If peaches are not available … Read More
Vanilla Peppermint Cupcakes
Guess what! I am having a white Christmas this year. Okay, there's no snow, so technically it's not white but it's Christmas in the middle of winter. You don't get it? Living in Australia, our Christmas is anything but cold. It is in the peak of summer and our produce is as colorful as can be. Instead of warm puddings, we celebrate with fruit loaded Pavlovas and Ice cream cakes. But this year I am sitting snug and cosy amidst family in the northern hemisphere enjoying every bit of the season. After all, that's the true meaning of Christmas, isn't it? Family and home! I made these cupcakes before I left for my holiday. There are heaps of peppermint recipes doing the rounds. I have a few in my archives as well. So, this time I am breaking the norm, colouring them blue and adding chocolate sea shells. Actually, there's been so much candy at home this year that it was easy to load the cupcakes with extra sugar. Nobody minds at this time! The cupcakes are vanilla scented with a peppermint whipped cream. Sprinkles, crushed candy cane, chocolate sea shells and everything you desire. Yes, add whatever you like...load them with candies, sprinkles and make them look extra … Read More
