Caramel Cupcakes Aka Golden Cupcakes for Mother’s Day
Glittering, glowing and shiny things are a favourite around these parts. Yeah, if I had an option I would serve my roast chicken with gold dust and maybe some sprinkles. Hahaha! So much for my edible fantasies. On a serious note, what can be more precious than your Mum? So it is only fitting that I … Read More
Matcha Lime Tartlets
I have a bag of dessert tricks that come handy when I need a true dessert without having to spend a few hours in the kitchen. I do like mug cakes and crumbles and grilled fruit but I'm talking about desserts that would have heaps of flavour, look pretty and yet come together in minutes. My greatest … Read More

Sweet Breakfast Flatbread
If you follow me on Instagram, you might be familiar with my love for colourful, fruity sweet breakfasts by now. Parfaits, bruschettas, flatbreads, crepes, overnight oats and so on. 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
Baileys Glazed Doughnuts for Easter
Baked chocolate doughnuts with a decadent Baileys Chocolat Luxe Glaze, topped with hazelnut praline and mini chocolate eggs. The perfect Easter treat for adults. This year I’m hosting an Easter Brunch. Am I excited? I’m super egg-cited. Not only because I have a delicious spread planned well but more so because I am making sure my guests are totally impressed with my menu. Easter is a great time to have fun as a family but amidst the egg hunts, candy eating and bunny costumes, adults can sometimes feel left out of the loop. It’s a long weekend plus gorgeous autumn weather and a great occasion so every reason to indulge with food. Like always my menu includes plenty of make ahead dishes. Dessert of course, was a no-brainer! When I need a true blue, blow-your-mind-off kind of dessert, I just have to turn to Baileys. Who doesn’t love Baileys? This time I decided to use the Baileys Chocolat Luxe liqueur. Rightly named, it is luxe, it’s dainty, it’s indulgent, it’s special and oh so amazing! Picture the fusion of Belgian Chocolate, Irish whiskey and cream in a liqueur. And then imagine this liqueur in your dessert (that is if you can stop yourself from not drinking … 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 thing I've been lacking yet striving to attain was 'conversation'. Interaction with my friends and followers on social media. There was just not enough time. Ever! In real life, I love people. I love chatting...I love hearing stories. I can go on laughing with my friends. But in sharp contrast the place which I love the most (Instagram), had the most amazing people and beautiful friendships blossoming for me but there was no time. So this was constantly on my mind when I decided to do a Q &A with the wonderful people who like and comment on my posts. Assuming (too early) that I would have a peaceful week since it's Easter Holidays for the twins and I have tried to finish my pending projects ahead in time just so I could take a break, I thought this was my chance to give back to the community who have inspired me at every step on my journey. Well, the peaceful break, never happened. … 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
