Lemon and Coconut Mousse
I came back after a month long holiday in India to a blazing Sydney. A family wedding, cool winter days and so much fun with family and cousins some of whom I was able to meet after years. I realized I had to push myself to get back into work and creative mode this week. Sydney on the other hand … Read More
Berry and Hazelnut Streusel Muffins
Coffee and muffins! Make me a great one (of either) and I'm sold. Somehow coffee is better with a delicious treat on the side. Muffins have a reputation of being breakfast or lunchbox food and I have to admit I find them especially handy on the go. But that does not stop us from making them exciting … Read More

Lemon Curd Tart
I was always a crazy fan of lemon and lime desserts, well all kinds of lemony things (as it is evident from the pictures) but recently I discovered a way of creating lemon garnishes that inspired me to revisit this lemon curd tart and a few cocktails. These were so easy to make by dehydrating in the oven at a really low temperature but the results so impressive. The lemon curd tart itself is a pretty simple recipe since I usually get a ready base/crust during busy times like now and the filling hardly takes time. Whether you want to make it for the holidays or a weekend indulgence or just to share with friends, there is hardly a person who does not love it's sweet-tangy taste. The toasted meringue adds another layer of deliciousness but it's optional. Over and above everything else, I love how bright and joyful a lemon tart looks. Perfectly reminiscent of an Aussie summer. The dehydrated lemon garnishes were even more simpler for me as I had picked up a pack of frozen lemon slices from my local Woolies and since they were all pretty uniform in thickness and sizes, they baked up beautifully.

Banana Raspberry Bread
One can never have too many banana bread recipes especially because it is so easy to make them your own. A few delicious ingredients and in my case, I always love a good drizzle or a complementing glaze. Who said banana bread has to be boring! Since spices seem to be making it's way into everything I'm baking at the moment, my banana bread couldn't go without it either. A cinnamon spiked cake smells so Christmassy in the oven. I recently tried my hand at making peanut butter at home and that I thought would make a lovely icing. My peanut butter was crunchy so the resulting glaze was also nutty and just terrific with the banana bread. You could go with whatever you have at hand. Banana Raspberry BreadServes 6-8 2 and 1/4 cup self raising flour1 tsp bicarbonate of soda1 tsp ground cinnamon2/3 cup castor sugar3/4 cup milk1/2 cup vegetable oil2 eggs, lightly whisked2 ripe bananas, mashed1/2 cup raspberries + extra for topping Peanut Butter Icing1/2 cup peanut butter1 and 1/4 cup icing sugar1/2 tsp vanilla extract2-3 tbsp milkPreheat oven to 180 degrees C.

Passionfruit Curd Tart
What does an Aussie Christmas look like? So many people ask me this question. It is hard for people to envision Christmas at a beach or drinking wine in the backyard while firing up the barbie (barbecue) as we call it. Food on the table is bright, fresh and extremely colourful. The options are unlimited as summer is at it's peak during Christmas. So it is not uncommon to choose berry pies, stone fruit trifles and passionfruit tarts over mince pies and panettone. I've made passion fruit curd a number of times but it never occurred to me until now that a tart would be a lovely idea. If you haven't tried passion fruit before, I would really urge you to. It is something so unique, so intense and absolutely gorgeous to taste. If fresh passion fruit is not available where you are, you could look for the canned purees. Topping it with meringue was a last minute thought, one that I was very glad I did. Passionfruit curd is generally of a thick, silky consistency but not thick enough to set nicely in a tart shell especially when you think of slicing the tart into portions. A little gelatine helps and the result is an oh so flavourful, divine little tart. For this recipe I used a … Read More
