3 Simple and Quick Weeknight Recipes With Salmon
Dinners with Salmon are common in my house. Since salmon is quick to cook, healthy and delicious the idea is to add it to dishes that cook faster. Then dinner is always a breeze. I also love the fact that I can pick up a pack from the supermarket that is just ready to cook...no prepping! Since … Read More
Raspberry Cupcakes With Rose Infused Cream
In the last two years, when food is placed on the table, my family has developed a ritual of asking me 'Is it ready for eating?' Basically what it means is 'Have you finished taking photos?' I can't appreciate this enough. I do feel guilty many times and I am sure this is something most food … Read More
Chocolate, Raspberry And Pomegranate Clafoutis
In the last couple of years we have changed houses several times. Renting gives you the absolute freedom to explore different neighborhoods, scenery, lifestyles, landscape, people etc. When we packed our bags, a few years ago and left for a new country, I doubt if we ever imagined that a rather … Read More
Caramel Ice Cream Cheesecake With Salted Butterscotch Sauce And Meringue
There was a time when I would buy a can of condensed milk only to dip my flat breads into. On Sundays when breakfasts could be a bit elaborate and I could stand in front of the sizzling frying pan, patiently turning flat breads one at time whilst simultaneously rolling out the next one, I would … Read More
Coconut Cream With Pineapple Curd And Toasted Coconut Chips
A short and sweet post today. Sweet but without gluten and without dairy. This is a quick dessert that one can whip up in a jiffy with just a few ingredients. Ever since I came across a way to make whipped coconut cream from a can of coconut milk on the Kitchn, I have been meaning to put together a tropical flavored dessert. I mean, what an amazing alternative to whipped cream! If you love the flavor of coconut, this treat is for you. The pineapple curd came from last week's orange loaf with pineapple curd recipe. After we had generously dolloped over mini pavlovas, spread on toast and swirled over oatmeal in the last week, we still had some leftover and I couldn't be happier for the timing. Since the pineapple curd can be made ahead, this dessert can be put together instantly. There are days when you have cravings when a bar of chocolate cannot satisfy, (though very rare for me) or you just want variety. I decided to keep things simple as much as possible so I used toasted coconut chips for a bit of crunch and appeal. Feel free to top them with toasted desiccated coconut, fresh pineapple or mango or even grated white chocolate as substitutes. There are no hard and … Read More
Double Chocolate Banana Cake- Easy Mother’s Day Dessert
I was sitting at the conference table at my office 5 years ago looking at our performance reports when I received a text from my doctor's office. 'Your first ultrasound scan is scheduled for next Friday'. I called them back. 'What do I have to do...what happens during the ultrasound?'' You will get the first glimpse of your baby. Drink lots of water' the assistant told me 'What..really?' I thought to myself picturing an angel face with chubby hands and feet. I was so nervous the following week when I reached the clinic. 'Do you see the movement of the baby?' the doctor pointed at the large monitor in front of her. All I could see were black and white patches on the screen and a tiny little thing..probably the size of a pea moving slowly. 'Would you like to hear your baby's heart beat?' 'Yes' I suppressed a scream. After that, what I heard might have made my heart stop beating f0r a moment. I was speechless! It was a big surprise that I was not prepared for. But what I was about to hear next was probably the surprise of my life yet. 'Wait, there is something else!' She ran out to call another senior doctor. They told me they could see another fetus which may or may not … Read More
CSR Sugar, Blueberry Lovers Cake And Giveaway
Disclaimer: This post is brought to you by Nuffnang and CSR Sugar. Writing a dessert blog with 'Sugar' in the title may be a cliché but that word in all honesty, stands for many of the happy, nostalgic, inspiring moments in my kitchen. I love playing around with different forms of sugar in both sweet and savory recipes. I enjoy sprinkling it on baked goods before I photograph them because it adds another dimension to the image. Sugar is more than just an ingredient for me. As a child, I learnt that a sweet start was the best way to embark on any new journey and for me that sweet start was Sugar. Sugar is that spoonful of remedy, my Mum put in my mouth when I burnt my tongue with hot food. Sugar to me is therapeutic. Dynamic! Sugar flavours. It preserves (think jams). It enhances. Leavens. Stabilizes. It is a baker's weapon. A cook's secret to balance of flavour. A child's fantasy! The stuff that sweet memories are made of! It is the single most ingredient that gives meringue its sizzle, transforms butter to buttercream, gives toffee its intensity and Creme Brulee its gorgeous crust. Sugar is mighty! Yet it is affordable. CSR is a name I associate with from my … Read More
Orange Loaf With Fresh Cream And Pineapple Curd
What a thrill it was to wake up to the sun this morning! After three days of incessant rains and stormy weather, we got a glimpse of the gorgeous sunlight. The boys resumed school but the excitement went down as soon as they realized that there was no outdoor activity at the moment. The wet sand-pit dampened their spirits at first glance. The droopy wet flowers around the flower gardens weren't as welcoming to them as they always did. But a hug from a friend made them squeal with delight. Childhood! So pure...simple..free! Can I have mine back? Involuntarily locked up at home with no kids to tend to, I decided to clean and rearrange my kitchen and props cupboards. I thought I might find some inspiration tucked away at the far end somewhere. Within minutes, I was baking! Cleaning was postponed as soon as I spotted my loaf pans. With a limited window to complete baking and photographing, I resisted the urge to bake a yeasty bread. With heaps of citrus at home, it was easy to settle on a simple orange flavoured loaf. To go with the loaf, I quickly whipped up this pineapple curd. Fortunately, I had pineapple juice at home otherwise I would have gone with lime curd … Read More
