Coconut Crepes With Yogurt, Mango And Palm Sugar Caramel
I am surprised at how much I have started to like coconut recently. This comes from someone who has eaten/drank as much coconut as one would eat potatoes or drink milk as a child. I was actually never fond of milk and unfortunately there were no alternatives like almond or soy milk available at that … Read More
Raspberry, Watermelon and White Nectarine Popsicles
Around Christmas, last year (Oh! that sounds so long ago though we're talking less than a month really) we met a wonderful family. We had met only once before that during the twin's orientation day at their new school. On that day we had excited parent-like conversations, shared anxieties and had … Read More

Ice Cream Cheesecake with Mixed Berry and Thyme
This New Year is moving at a faster pace than I had anticipated. We are already 5 days down and I am writing my first post for 2015. I am excited that I have not had the time to look at the calender or worry about the day of the week. It has been relaxed sort of busy this side. I have spent a good amount of time playing with the boys and baking cakes to take to picnics and friend's. I like it when a whole cake is consumed in a day and there are people to share it with. Time is precious. The boys start school at the end of the month. The date is suddenly so close. The 2015 of my imagination and once future plans is here and it gives me a firm nudge every time I say 'Twenty Fifteen' reminding me that a few days from now, I will be packing lunchboxes. Actually, eating lunch alone. And baking without my little helpers. I am aware that this is just so normal and every Mum possibly has dealt with it and will be dealing every year. But I feel a little sad when I think about it. I guess, when the time comes, I will cope. And then there is this little cosy patch on the Internet to give me company. This year I made a resolution. To do all the things I want to do..say the things that … Read More
A Year in Cakes and A very Happy New Year to You
I remember sitting between boxes and cartons exactly a year ago with a cup of coffee in one hand and a plate of store bought cookies in the other, telling my husband 'I hope this never happens again...it is that time of the year and I am not baking' I had moved houses and I was not particularly happy that my baking trays and cake pans were packed away somewhere. It had affected me in some way that I never believed it could. My husband replied 'Trust me! You will have plenty of opportunities to bake in the New Year' And so it came true. I baked a lot. I experimented and shared. I learnt from my own mistakes. Sometimes I made the mistakes again because I forgot to take notes on paper. Then I got a notebook that was kept permanantly in the kitchen. Before I realised it was stained with chocolate and butter and made me smile every time I looked at it. And over and above everything else were/are those wonderful people who kept me on my toes..who made me feel inspired and valued and belonged. YOU. My dearest readers, followers...people who pin from my site...people who put their trust in me and make the recipes I develop. I want to thank each and every one of you for being there … Read More
Tira-Mess. When Tiramisu met Eton Mess…
This is the most decadent, delicious and to-die-for dessert I have made this year. The year is just about over so there is great scope that the statement will remain unchanged. I think the holiday eating has just started and before we move on to detox smoothies and leafy green salads, there's enough reason to end the year on a sweet note. Yes? This Tiramisu inspired dessert has the flavours of the Tiramisu combined with crispy meringue and vanilla ice cream making it the perfect 'Mess-y' treat that you can put together quickly and without having to worry about perfection. The perfection here is the 'Mess' that consists of Chocolate swirl coffee meringue, Mascarpone cheese, Vanilla Ice cream and Mocha sauce. All you do is just make the meringue and layer the ingredients in glasses. The taste is totally reminiscent of the Tiramisu. And I haven't even come to the most amazing part...because we are replacing the sponge fingers with coffee meringues, it becomes a gluten free treat that you can make for friends and family who avoid flour. If you have never made meringue before, worry not! We are not looking for perfect exteriors or beautifully piped swirls. … Read More
Raspberry And Ginger Frangipane Tart
I may need a few more Christmas-s in the southern hemisphere to reconcile with the fact that instead of sipping hot chocolate by the fireplace, I am actually filling up popsicle moulds in batches. And applying sunscreen before I hit the shops. We have barbecues and picnics planned all through the holidays Which does seem funny to me when I speak to my family at the other end of the world where my brother is going skiing instead. The weather has been so warm this week that I haven't enjoyed baking that much. But this tart has been worth it. I was literally waiting for berry season and now that it is here, I cannot have enough of them. A frangipane filling is my favourite filling in a tart. I added a spice component to the filling by adding including powdered and glace (crystallised) ginger. Nutty, spicy, buttery and very delicious. Combined with juicy red raspberries and pieces of finely chopped glace ginger, it provides a nice textural contrast to the tart. I used a store-bought sweet tart case as I was happy to avoid some of the heat in the kitchen. With the tart shell baking out of the way, this is a breeze to make. Raspberry and Ginger Frangipane … Read More
