Raspberry Cupcakes with White Chocolate Ganache Frosting

If someone ever asked me what I miss most about summer, my answer would be the daylight and BERRIES! With the evenings getting colder and darkness setting in by mid afternoon, I am almost ready to retreat into a hibernating mode. While Summer is nowhere near and little that I can do about daylight, … Read More
Whole Orange Almond Mini Cakes with Orange Syrup

I am very excited about this one. Not only because it is sweet post but it uses one of my cannot-do-without fruits. And in its best form ever - WHOLE! Yes, skin, pulp..everything. No seeds though. If that has already excited you, I have not even come to the more interesting facts. There is no … Read More
Award Time! One more Liebster.
13|06|2013
Another Liebster award! What can I say! I am honored, overwhelmed and delighted. Though I really really wonder how much I deserve this recognition for the long gaps that follow my posts, the networking that I miss out on to maintain my presence in the blog-o-sphere, the technical aspects that have … Read More
Grilled Pumpkin, Red Onion, Feta and Pine Nut Salad

Perhaps its the cold winter air. Perhaps its the beautiful leaves desperately clinging on to half barren trees. Perhaps its the familiar aromas of childhood that greet me on the way. Perhaps its the multitude of women racing past, freshly painted lips & high-heeled shoes that take me back to my … Read More
Roasted Beet Salad with Egg and Honey Balsamic Dressing
29|05|2013
Roasted beet salad with eggs, leafy greens and a delicious honey balsamic dressing. Healthy, nutritious and easy to make. Another break, another comeback and a wonderful sense of belonging. Again! Like coming back home. Wish I could show you how much I love my time with the blog. Though sometimes it requires a mammoth effort to stay connected than other times. The long and short of it is that life is finally a bit settled and I am finding my rhythm again. My boys have found a wonderful second home at the day care and I am looking forward to spending more time with my happy little space on the internet. The last few weeks involved a myriad of discoveries...around the neighbourhood, within the house..zones in my balcony that offer good lighting, new friendships and some reflective exercises on the changes that have come about with time. The funny thing is that it takes some 'getting used to' not having the children around and savoring activities that I craved for not so long ago. I am fascinated by the way motherhood has changed everything I do, even the way I look at alone time. Most people I know out there associate salads with health and nutrition. I do too. But … Read More
Celebrating Mommy! Corn and Chive Pikelets with Smoked Salmon and Sour Cream
9|05|2013
The sweetest message I have ever read. 'I BELIEVE IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT...Because I'VE BEEN LOVING MY MOTHER SINCE THE TIME I OPENED MY EYES...' I don't really follow 'day-s'. Birthdays are an exception of course. But I would still call myself a person who can go lengths to make someone smile. Just that it would never be restricted to time or occasion. I am certain all of us are like that. Until a few years ago, I couldn't relate to all the hype about Mother's day. Though I have probably participated every year since I was a little girl by bringing little gifts for my Mommy or cooking something special for her, I have to admit that I did it without much thought or understanding of the significance of Mother's day. I would only think about what gifts she would like or what would make her happy. After my twins came, I looked at motherhood with a whole new perspective. Mothers don't really expect anything..rather nothing! Having said that, being a Mom is the most rewarding role in itself, however thankless or sacrificing it is. Ask any Mommy out there! And making a surprise brunch or a meal can be a small gesture in acknowledging all that she does selflessly day … Read More
A Place called Home! Passion Fruit Mousse with Strawberry Meringue Crumble.
6|05|2013
A very warm welcome to Sugar et al's brand new home. This partly explains my absence from my favourite blog-o-sphere for a while. Partly because along with my website, I moved too. Not that I had planned it this way...just a fantastic coincidence. 9 weeks, 18 posts, a few hundred requests and a brilliant techie later, I finally decided to give my blog a little makeover. Yes, the much awaited SUBSCRIBE button is here...at last! Now my friends there is no escaping the mush, the mash and the mousse (does it rhyme...who cares!) Get ready with a spoon and a box of tissues to follow me on my new journey. My heart is full of affection and gratitude for all the people who have been with me all this while. You made me realise that relationships can form anywhere, anytime...across nations, despite boundaries, without 'subscribe' buttons. I take this opportunity to thank my friends who came to check on me every now and then...Mary, Julia, Nazneen, Pavithra, Evelyne, Gloria, Tia, Nilu, Deepti, Soni, Uru, Dhanish, Rita, Nava and livened up my blog with lovely comments. A few days back Pavithra did a beautiful post called 'A lesson in Unity'. I believe in that more than ever … Read More
Walnut Crusted Lamb Cutlets with Minted Mushy Peas and Roasted Tomatoes.
19|04|2013
As Autumn settles in deep into the homes and lives of Sydneysiders, 'Change' is prevalent in the air. From temperatures..to clothing..to food. Gone are the days when winter wear was dull and not-so stylish. Adding layers to your clothing is like adding another element to your personality. Last week at a shopping centre I tried out a blazer in 5 different colours (there were 15 shades available). No points for guessing which shade I settled for. If you are reading my posts regularly, the answer lies there in. At a nearby Asian restaurant, Laksa seems to be the dish of choice. As part of embracing this change, we are having to make certain modifications in our routine too. Like making time in the morning or noon to visit the park..rescheduling my foodie photo shoots to afternoon and all other activities accordingly. Some big changes are also taking place in our lives at the moment. But before I get into that let me go back 3 posts complete a story that I left unfinished. My Nature centric post on Autumn. Nut picking was totally new to me. Unlike fruit picking and berry picking which is pretty common around Australia, I had no idea how Chestnuts and Walnuts are grown or … Read More
