I love food that is unconventional and yet simple to make so I make them often. Not only are they a great way of … Read More

Yogurt Strawberry Eton Mess and Q & A Part 1
During the holidays, end of the 2016 everyone was picking up a core word on Instagram for the New Year that would perhaps be the focus for them for that year. There were 'kindness', 'patience', 'acceptance', 'balance' and so on. I thought about it. There were many things to focus on but the one … Read More
Plum Fools With Rosewater
Don't be 'fool'-ed by the appearance of this dessert. It looks like one of those pretty, mousse like treats in a glass that take a bit of time and effort to make but not this one. A fool is nothing but a dessert where cooked, pureed fruit is folded into whipped cream or custard. Its a light, refreshing treat and depending on the type of fruit you choose, it's like a celebration of that fruit because that is what you taste all through. No eggs, no flour, I'd say it's a brilliant idea whoever came up with the thought. Plums are abundant since the last one month and the fruit is pulpy and juicy so Plum Fools were my first choice. And of course, consider this an an official announcement that I cannot live without rosewater so a few drops in my desserts here and there should come as no surprise to you. If you notice, I've added a little yogurt to my cream to make it lighter and I quite like the taste of yogurt. To decorate the Plum Fools, I've added dried pomegranate seeds, smashed raspberries, edible rosebuds and edible violas. Feel free to add stewed fruit (because you will be stewing them in the process) as a topping, or chocolate chips or anything else you like. Have a … Read More
Coconut And Raspberry cake
Layers of Coconut and Raspberry Cake with a sweet-tangy, delicious cream cheese frosting and fresh raspberries. It's easy to make and looks impressive. This Autumn hasn't been anything like I expected. Can I call it Monsoon because it has rained pretty much every single day since the last one month? Back in the tropics where I grew up, there would be a whole season dedicated to the rains called Monsoon. Rugby and Soccer matches have been cancelled for the boys for weeks and that means we have been indoors every evening. While it was a huge relief to escape the 40 degree plus temperatures of summer, I'm still waiting for the perfect picnic weather. The great news however is that we've still got beautiful summer produce at amazing prices and that means no dearth of inspiration. I know! I just can't get past Summer and it's bounty. Amidst my busy workload of new recipes for clients my heart has been craving Cake. I think this Coconut and Raspberry Cake is the first layer cake for the year. Quite shocking really for a person who loves making them. Now I don't want to stop. It's quite like therapy..helps me unwind and takes my mind off the stress of work and home. I am … Read More
Coffee Cake
Coffee is one of those things that is indispensable to me. Of course, I'm not alone. My morning begins only when I've taken a sip from my favourite mug. Admittedly, I have been late in joining the coffee-drinkers club (only after I moved to Australia) but the love for coffee flavoured desserts dates back to my early baking days. It started with the first time I tasted mocha truffles and grew with the discovery of the Tiramisu. But this one is different. nothing fancy. You can call it a Coffee flavoured Coffee Cake. This is a moist, not too rich cake with a strong taste of coffee which is what I was after. Unless there's enough coffee flavour in there, you really can't taste it. Then I am happy drinking coffee. Why bother adding it to a cake? So after a few trials I came up with this recipe that I was finally happy with (because you don't want it to taste bitter either). It is quite easy to put together, actually everything is mixed in one bowl. To dress it up I just piped some whipped cream (that has also been infused with coffee) and topped the cake with chocolate shards. I think there is no better pairing with Coffee than chocolate. You can also glaze the Coffee cake with … Read More
Chocolate Brownie Cake
I was supposed to share a different recipe today but this cake turned out so good that I couldn't wait until next week. After all, what better to make on the weekend than a good chocolate cake. When that chocolate cake is the most fudgy, outrageously delicious brownie cake you have to share it with the world, right?. A perfectly cracked top and a rich, moist interior and above all, a few simple ingredients that are mostly available at home. I've been under the weather this week and this cake got me all excited. I've made enough brownies and cakes in the last two decades to know a really good recipe. This is a keeper! It's Autumn over here and the light is beautiful. A subtle, diffused light that makes me want to stand outside and photograph everything I can lay my hands on. Summer is my favourite season mainly for the beautiful fresh produce it brings with it and I feel a bit sad when it ends but the first few weeks of Autumn are the best where there is an overlap. We are still enjoying plums, peaches and figs but the apples have started arriving and the weather has cooled down substantially. As for this Brownie cake, the beauty of a chocolate cake is that it defies seasons … Read More
