Chocolate Fudge Cake with Red Berry Ganache
I experience a unique thrill when I am posting a cake. More than satisfaction...more than excitement. Some kind of inexplicable joy. Right from the planning...the cake pans...dressing the cake, the props that will go alongside...the mood...the post processing to actually eating the cake. It's almost … Read More
Blueberry Pistachio Crumble Cake
I've been a bit under the weather. I don't enjoy being tied down to the bed so it was not the best of times for me. I love standing on my two feet even if it means standing long hours without a break so this was a kind of situation-imposed rest from which I was desperate to recover. Not being able … Read More

Talking about blogger perspective, do you know what I love about Chocolate? That it is not seasonal. When you are a blogger you tend to keep track of what is … Read More
Pomegranate Tabouli Salad
A salad that does not look like a salad. Trust me, it works for people like me who believe in checking the buffet menus backwards in a restaurant. The space and calories in my case, are reserved for the sweeter things in life. Having said that, this is a great salad bursting with flavour, nutrition … Read More
Peanut Butter White Chocolate and Raspberry Cake
Peanut Butter and me haven't been friends for long. Weird...I know! We are still getting to know each other. It's a bit early to say whether its going to turn into a serious love affair but for now I am happy to have it for breakfast. Not on toast...in cakes! Anything that goes down well in a cake ranks high in my eyes. And yes, I can eat cake for breakfast! This is light, moist cake with a subtle taste of peanut butter spiked with the occasional bite of white chocolate chips and raspberries. The last two and me are best friends so its one merry party...this cake! I used this recipe from BBC GoodFood as a base recipe for the peanut butter cake and made a few additions to it. The recipe used yoghurt which tends to leave a sour after taste in cakes in my opinion so I replaced it with sour cream. The cake as a whole is not too sweet so the white chocolate chips are a welcome addition. And raspberries add a little tartness that goes well with the rest of the cake. The cake is a quick, one bowl process that comes together in minutes. If you like peanut butter, you can probably increase the quantity by a couple of more teaspoons. Peanut Butter White Chocolate and … Read More
Irish Cream Layered Pavlova
There is something magical about egg whites. They can transform from a tiny fluid into something magnificent. Capable of existing in different textures, there are innumerable ways in which they can be used. They have the ability to create cakes and baked treats without the presence of fat or even flour. As for me, I can completely lose myself to those clouds of white puff whenever I am working with egg whites. This Irish Cream Pavlova is a an amazing example of this. I am a self confessed meringue maniac! I enjoy watching the process as they whip up....as they peak, as they create swirls and patterns with the beaters..as they burn in the most fabulous way when you torch them. I playfully stick my finger in the mixture several times and love the way a tiny peak curls down and then eventually holds up. Seriously, with a bowl of freshly whipped egg whites I feel sort of empowered. To give shape and structure to the desserts of my imagination. I have a fair collection of meringue recipes in my blog but it hit me hard when I realised I don't have the Pavlova. Pavlovas, big and small are made at my place like cookies at a baker's home. Also taking pride in the fact that I … Read More
Fig Clafoutis
I have been so busy this month that I hardly noticed that we have officially stepped into Autumn in Australia. The last I remember was longing for Summer, wanting to gorge in its bounty, planning so many stone fruit recipes. It came and went. Leaving me discontented like every year that I couldn't do enough justice during its presence. This recipe is like the fleeting summer in my mind. It comes together...just like that. You have a dessert as an outcome of some quick mixing and stirring. And that is what I love about a Clafoutis. Somewhere between the consistency of a cake and a custard, this sweet treat just so fits the bill when you want to whip up something quick and fruit based. Figs make a late summer appearance in our fruit markets and stay on till the first few weeks of Autumn. So this makes a great transitional dessert for us. It is best served warm with some whipped cream or ice cream on the side. Figs can be replaced with any fruit of your choice...peaches, nectarines, plums or more popularly, cherries and blueberries. Fig Clafoutis Serves 3-4 7-8 ripe figs, quartered 1/2 cup whipping cream 3 eggs 4 tbsp. castor sugar 1/2 cup plain flour 1 tsp … Read More
Apple Blueberry Muffins
A couple of Saturday's back, I woke up with the widest smile on my face. It was time for the reunion. At last! A moment I had looked forward to since weeks. The call had come two days before. She was ready. And waiting! Our apple tree! At this stage, I need to take you back to a favourite little post I had done to share my excitement on adopting this apple tree. Time flies! It was almost a year back and with the first signs of Autumn in the air, we knew it was time to re-visit the orchard. It was a rainy weekend. The ground was wet and the sun was missed. Yet it was a pleasure walking through the rows of red and yellow...surreal, indulging, inviting. Our tree like all the others was laden with sweet red juicy apples...almost sparkling from the rain wash they just received. They were picked in no time. We've had two full weeks of apple eating but we are still nowhere close to finishing our pick. Neither are we tired of them. Galettes, crumbles, cake, soup and muffins are some of the ways we used them. Yes, there will be more apple recipes and photographs to share with you. These muffins are quite fluffy and light on account of the buttermilk used in … Read More
