Blueberry Galettes
There is an abundance of gorgeous blueberries around here at the moment. Another thing to love about Spring in Australia! Though officially it is still winter, the arrival of blueberries and blood oranges indicate that citrus season is going to be taken over by berry season pretty quickly. And if … Read More

Easy Tiramisu Cups
Light, easy and deliciously coffee-ish Tiramisu cups. Egg-less and quick to put together. Sometimes it is so nice to forget about seasons and seasonal produce and just think of DESSERT! Aka sweet, creamy, indulgent, moist, gooey, addictive....you get my point? Dessert without planning, … Read More

Delicate and delicious Rosewater Tartlets with a biscuit base and a panna cotta filling. No bake, no eggs and just very simple to put together.

Eggless Mango Mousse
Mango season!!! Alas, not here. But everywhere else it is mango season. Yeah being down under sometimes does make me feel a teeny bit isolated from the rest of the world in terms of food and seasons. But the virtual world more than makes up for it and I am able to share my favourite recipes for the northern hemisphere to enjoy. I had shot a few mango creations back in our summer days for my stock photo agency. Food images however, don't make sense to me without a delicious recipe or the story they narrate. So I always take the opportunity to make something quick and easy that I could photograph as well as serve to my friends. And of course, any excuse to eat mangoes or for that matter, even mousse! This is one of the easiest mousse recipes I have tried out. Actually, I've eaten this kind of mousse a number of times back in India where patisseries and cafes would usually avoid the egg in desserts as they would cater to many vegetarian customers. Since the quantity of fruit puree is significantly higher to the quantity of cream, the fruit literally sings in your mouth. The cream is only there to give the eggless mango mousse a body and some extra creaminess. The colour and … Read More
Cappuccino Cheesecake
If you are a coffee lover, take your caffeine addiction to a whole new level with this cheesecake. A simple cookie crust with a creamy coffee spiked filling and some luscious whipped cream on top, this is like a delicious coffee hug in these cold winter nights. I'm not sure if I say this every winter, but this year I really do feel like curling up inside my blanket and never coming out. School holidays are about to begin next week and I'm actually looking forward to sleeping in. Talking about holidays, it is the perfect time to whip up some new creations so I'm looking forward to that too. Is there anything you want me to create or perhaps see in this space? If you've been with me for a while, you know that I'm a big fan of baked cheesecakes. They are always forgiving and flexible. You could go with your choice of cookies for the crust, substitute sour cream with yogurt and add more coffee if you like. I've even made a version of this with a shot of espresso some time ago. While the coffee connoisseurs loved it, others found it too strong. So here I've just stuck to instant coffee. I hope you all are enjoying the seasons in your part of the world. The great thing … Read More
Chocolate, Almond and Strawberry Cake
This winter is giving me all the reasons to bake! It is so cold in my part of town plus it's been raining and there is very little scope for any outdoor activity. I love the sunshine especially in the colder months but there is also the prospect of getting better photos on a cloudy day than those days when the sun is shining bright in my backyard where I normally shoot. So I ended up baking 7 cakes in 6 days. Yeah, I'm amazed at myself where I go for days feeling like I have nothing new to add or nothing better to create. And then there are these bursts of energy on certain days when I don't have enough hours to give shape to my crazy imagination. Chocolate, almond and strawberries in a cake speak for itself. All the great, stuff, right? And the bonus is that the batter can be made in one pan. Just mix and pour! The buttercream is actually chocolate flavored, made with cocoa powder and tinted with red food gel colour. I've been meaning to make a red frosting for months and finally got my chance. Chocolate, Almond and Strawberry Cake Makes a 6 inch round cake 150 g unsalted butter, room temperature 1 and 1/2 cups brown sugar 3/4 cup … Read More
Beet Chocolate Cake
One of the things I greatly look forward to in Autumn is the abundant availability of beet. To be honest, Sydney is a city where you could buy pretty much any fruit or vegetable round the year (maybe costly though), but there is something about beets that I associate with winters as a child. I loved beets since I was little. However, my kids don't. Unless its hidden inside a beet cake or turned into a relish, served in a delicious burger. A few years ago, I wouldn't even tell them there were beets in the cake and they would go for it as they would go for any chocolate cake. Now even though they know it, they really don't mind. The great thing about a beet chocolate cake is that you don't taste the beets if you use a good dutch processed cocoa powder. And the cake benefits from the texture and nutrition of the beets. The Beet Chocolate Cake is very simple to put together and uses a bit of dark chocolate as well as cocoa powder to give it that chocolately taste. What I like the most is that you don't have to melt the chocolate separately. I'm always happy with recipes that don't need too many dishes and pans :-) Typically most beet cakes will have a no-brainer chocolate frosting. … Read More
