Blackberry and Cardamom Sour Cream Cake
It's officially Autumn but I'm still not ready to let go of summer. I've spent the most part of summer overseas so I feel that I haven't made enough treats with berries. Raspberries, being red somehow make way into a lot of my Christmas recipes and I use strawberries and blueberries round the year. … Read More
Orange Amaretti Cookies

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 by dding another delicious element on the top. These muffins are moist and berry-licious while the crumble/streusel on top makes them crunchy and full of texture. What's so special about these? These are topped with a hazelnut streusel. The streusel is flourless and uses a nut meal/ground nuts instead so the resulting topping is nutty and outright tasty. These have got to be my favourite muffins at the moment. What are your favourite muffin combos?

Strawberry Mini Pies
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you are having an awesome start to 2019. I haven't made any specific resolutions but spending time wisely, being more organised and self-care is on the top of my list. I realized that though 2018 was a really successful year for my business, it took a toll on my health and I've spent more time working than being able to enjoy the fruits of my labour. I feel that every year, every experience is a learning and January is a good time to reflect and an incentive to pave the road ahead. Did you guys make any resolutions this year? January is also one of those times when the difference in the nature of recipes especially the usage of fresh produce is a stark contrast between the northern and southern hemispheres. We have an abundance of summer produce whilst the other side is cooking up cosy soups and indulgent puddings. Pies are however common around the world. The filling differs from place to place depending on the availability of fruits but who can say no to sweet, mushy fruits encased in crunchy pastry?These mini pies are so easy to make that even my 9 year old-s enjoy helping in the process. And then cutting out designs with cookie … 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. Lemon Curd TartMakes a 6 inch round tart, serving 6-8 people A 6 … Read More
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.
