Linzer Cookies With Quince Paste
You have no idea how excited I am this year to jump onto the Christmas baking bandwagon. I am late every year and am just not able to bake or share enough. Last year we were overseas for 7 weeks and I was filled with guilt and sadness when I saw the amazing stuff getting shared on social networks. So my baking has taken off in early in October already. The cherry on the cake was that I got the opportunity to create recipes for different brands for their Christmas campaigns. All the stuff I love. Baubles, ribbons, red creations, edible wreaths, boozy treats and new ingredients. You will see most of them in December, while I feel festive every single day in my little studio. You can't think of Christmas baking without cookies and Linzers are one of the most loved cookie around the world. Recently I had created these Linzers with Quince paste as the filling for the Maggie Beer group and I have to say that the quince paste was love at first bite. Such an unique and amazing flavour! I had tasted fresh quinces before in tarts and cakes but this was beyond delicious. Slightly Sweet and slightly sour like a big flavour punch in your mouth! If you are tired of Jam, Nutella, lemon … Read More
Meringue Rose Cookies with Lavender Cream Cheese Filling
Meringue rose cookies are so versatile and there is no limit to the way they can be colored, decorated or served. It is incredible how a little bit of egg white and sugar can whip up into magical creations. And they are free of gluten. I make meringues quite often and love that they make great edible gifts. Meringue roses look really pretty and the added bonus is that by sandwiching fillings between two roses, they turn into a treat that is even tastier than a cookie, minus the flour. Whether it's chocolate ganache, buttercream or cream cheese frosting there are innumerable flavours to play around with. Also, they can stay crunchy for days if stored well. I used culinary lavender that was sitting in my cupboard for months. Every time I open the jar, I am transported to a a different world. That is how the meringue rose cookies smell as well. To get the two toned effect I generally streak one side of my piping bag with gel food colour using a long skewer before filling up with the meringue. If you haven't made meringue roses before here is a video tutorial that might help you to understand the technique. Meringue Rose Cookies With Lavender Cream Cheese … Read More
Chocolate Zucchini Cake
I have taken pride in being an ardent lover of fruits and vegetables all my life. Even when I was little girl and saw my cousins removing bits of cooked beans and beetroot from their stir fries and stews, I was never the one to complain or follow suit. I have a similar or maybe slighter greater love for Chocolate and though I enjoy both in different ways, I seldom like to mix the two loves. Because, why would you mess with Chocolate? Unless you really need to. I have been contemplating this Chocolate Zucchini combination for years but never really found myself convinced enough to try it. But the other day when I was having coffee with a friend and we were taking about veggies in cakes, she said to me 'Have you ever made a Pumpkin cake? Is it just as gorgeous as a zucchini cake?' I was surprised. This year I did try a pumpkin cake for the first time and I was truely impressed. 'Does a Zucchini cake not taste weird?' I asked her. 'Oh no! Try a Chocolate Zucchini cake. You won't taste the zucchini ' was her reply. I looked up a few recipes and found this one which looked quite easy. It had brown sugar and cocoa powder so it wouldn't be inedible even in the worst case scenario, I told … Read More
Fresh Fruit and Cardamom Cream Tart
It's been a long time isn't it? When I look at my last post I realize I haven't posted on the blog for over a month. I hope all of you have been well and enjoying the change of seasons. At my end, things have been hectic. I had been working (still am) on several creative projects at the same time. Somehow I haven't been doing any major recipe testing which is probably why I never got around to sharing anything on the blog. They were mostly styling and photography projects that I did for various clients. Then there were those that I have diligently worked on but can't share.And of course, the random ones where I've created something using a old recipe from here and a twist from there, cake batter from one, buttercream from another and such. Funny situation to be in :-) I wish I had a few hours every day to do more and go to sleep feeling happy and contented. But these days, that does not happen. With warmer months and daylight savings kicking off for us, I am hoping I'll have a little extra time in the day to use to my advantage. I also got my blog redesigned, though unfortunately there is a lot left to update. My husband tells me 'Isn't it easier to update one page than … Read More
