Blood Orange Hazelnut Frangipane Tart
Until last year Blood Orange was this exotic, stunning looking citrus that I had only seen in pictures. Once I figured out where and when to find them, I've literally waited, keeping an eye out for them this year. Who else is crazy about fresh produce like me? And really how amazing is the world … Read More

Raspberry and Pumpkin Mini Cakes
Autumn came and turned into winter and winter is half-way through. I realized that I haven't made any pumpkin desserts this year. Last Autumn, I discovered the deliciousness called pumpkin in sweeter recipes and had begun to acknowledge its hype around colder months in the Northern Hemisphere. I … Read More
White Chocolate and Strawberry Tart
Delicious White chocolate and Strawberry tart with a cookie crust and an orange infused white chocolate ganache filling. No baking and easy to put together. Posting after a while now. How has everyone been? I had a lot going on these past few weeks, the first being a house move which I was totally unprepared for. We were renting this place for almost 3 years now when the owner just sold the property. The new owners wanted to move in quickly and we were asked to vacate. With a huge number of commitments and client work already scheduled for the beginning of June, I had no choice but to book the closest available house and move my entire setup into a new place. Since, I could only afford to take the weekend off from work, I figured out that there was no way I could bubble wrap all my stuff, box them and unwrap them later. So I made close to 30 trips back and forth loaded with props, backgrounds and a hundred other things so I could place them in shelves (in the new place) just the way they were before. By Monday, I couldn't move. And then realizing the greatest fear of all, food photographers would relate to. Light!!! The angle and direction of light was entirely different and I … Read More
Marshmallow Mousse
Mousse is a massive, huge, immense, enormous, gigantic, mammoth (okay, add all the adjectives) favorite of this blog:-) Needless to say, I've tried out every possible technique under the sun to create this delicious dessert. In this blog itself, there are all kinds of mousse recipes...some with egg yolk, some with white, some with both, others with chocolate and cream and with gelatine. The ones I've tested out recently are the marshmallow mousse and the aquafaba mousse (both are egg less). I'll share the second one soon but now let's talk about Marshmallow Mousse. The reason for taking so long to experiment with this was because the idea of having marshmallows meant it would taste sweet. Like really sweet. I like marshmallows but not everyone can tolerate something so sickly sweet that too in quite a big amount. Enter yogurt! My go to for all culinary balancing needs. The tartness of yogurt would balance out the sweetness to a great extent. So the base recipe for this mousse is nothing but marshmallows, half and half and yogurt. There are so many ways of diversifying upon this base recipe. Want to cut down the sweetness further? Serve with raspberry or strawberry coulis … Read More
Spiced Apple Cake
Our lives are full of choices and we are so lucky to have them. Whether it is the way we lead our lives or the food we eat, our options are abundant. When I was little, I knew the apple as a favourite fruit at home. As I grew older I learnt about a few different varieties and today we have apples that are nothing short of a marvel. An apple that is grown to suit our modern day, busy lifestyles. I had the pleasure of tasting the new Envy™ apple at the their launch recently and they were everything one could wish for in a fruit. Sweet with the perfect crunch and a tender flesh that remains white for a really long time. As a Mum to two young school going children this was a great find and as a huge lover of apples (I eat apples almost every single day) I wanted to experiment immediately. They tasted great but how would they respond to baking, is what I kept thinking. As it turned out, they held their texture and shape even after being baked which is exactly what you want when baking a cake like this one. I've been meaning to create apple roses and apple art on my cakes all along Autumn. Finally I got my chance when I got my hands on these gorgeous apples. The cake is … Read More

I am a firm believer in hand made presents for my loved ones. A gift made with love is more meaningful than something purchased. When the occasion is Mother’s Day, the motivation to get into action is ten folds. Mum gives us the world while growing up. Isn’t it fair that we try and give back a little bit to the most special, most irreplaceable person in our life? A painting, handmade candles or a pretty cake. Mums adore these sentiments.

To make that cake unique this year, I’ve added something I know is loved by the entire world. Baileys Irish Cream. The Heavenly combination of hazelnuts in the cake layers and Baileys in the buttercream makes it a treat for the taste buds. And of course, it’s Mother’s Day so flowers are a must.
