Blueberry Banana Smoothie Bowl
Half way into the year and I am quite proud to say that I have been able to stick to some of the resolutions I made at the start of the year. Health is an area that gets overlooked quite often when we list down our priorities and try to balance between a career, family, expectations and other day to … Read More
Peanut Butter Mousse And Raspberry Chia Jelly Trifle
Peanut Butter and Jelly!! I know you, you and you do it but in my defence, I have not grown up eating peanut butter nor is it very popular in my side of the world. But though I discovered this totally mind blowing, delicious and addictive combo late in life, I just feel now that I should compensate … Read More
2 Ingredient Chocolate Cake
Remember a few days ago I shared an Eggless Chocolate Cake? Things have reversed in this post and now we are talking about the dynamics of the egg. So the 2 ingredient chocolate cake obviously has chocolate and the other ingredient is the egg. The incredible egg! (Actually eggs here). Eggs are … Read More
Earl Grey Cupcakes
When we moved countries a few years ago, the one big lifestyle change that happened to us as a couple was that we gave up drinking Chai. The milk-added version of tea. It's kind of sad. Because tea was one of the first things that was taught to girls in Indian homes when I was growing up, it brings … Read More
Eggless Chocolate Cake
Many times when I go to a gathering, I'm introduced to people who are new to me as the 'one who makes cakes!'. I am pretty sure, if you are a blogger, you can relate. You'll probably be the one ' with a food blog' or the 'great cook' or one who 'knows everything about food'. After that there are so many questions. I'll share the ones I get asked the most. Who eats your creations? Do you sell your cakes? Why don't you? Do you make gluten free, fat free, sugar free, eggless cakes? Well honestly the first few cannot be answered in a word or two. Sometimes I explain, sometimes I just give them a smile. The last one, I am happy to answer. Gluten free, yes, fat-free, yes, Sugar free, never!, Eggless..?? That gets me thinking. I come from that part of the world where being vegetarian or vegan is not uncommon. Though my immediate family is not, throughout my growing up years I have come across people who don't eat eggs. Yet, I was always the one to advocate for eggs in cakes. Cakes need eggs, I would tell myself! Then one day I was invited to someone's house who happened to be a non-egg eater and treated to chocolate cake. 'Try it' they said 'It's quite nice'. I didn't want … Read More
Rose And White Chocolate Mousse
There are few things in life as exquisite as a tall glass of luscious chocolate mousse. It is one of those things that may not really be hard to whip up, but not many would do it at home. Nothing makes my friends more happy than the mention of mousse for dessert. Many years ago I used to dream of owning a mousse shop that would sell every flavour of mousse under the sun. I also set out to test recipes and flavors. The testing continued even as of today but the mousse shop of my dreams was long forgotten. Much the same way the cupcake shop, a cake shop, a handmade chocolate shop, candles, flowers, a store all about cake decorating tools came about existing and then disappeared. In my dreams:-) Who said life doesn't give you options! There are so many to choose from. I tell my husband that maybe some day I'll bundle everything together and open up a store. Even if it doesn't have all of it, mousse is definitely going to be there. Rose flavoured mousse will be on top of my list. If you have been following me on Instagram, you might have heard me ranting all the time about my obsession with rosewater. That bottle occupies a place on the top rack of my cupboard at eye level. The … Read More
Raw Berry Cheesecake
Let me tell you at the beginning that I am not vegan or following any sort of diet. I have only recently stepped into the world of raw desserts and I am hooked. If you haven't eaten a raw dessert or new to the term, these are basically desserts made out of raw, unprocessed ingredients like nuts, fruits and dried fruits. They are mostly vegan, gluten free and do not require baking. Sugar is replaced by natural sweeteners so they are extremely healthy.Yes, you would need to arm your pantry with a few ingredients which are pretty much standard for these kind of treats but I would say they are worth it. So does a raw cheesecake (which is basically without the cream cheese) taste like a regular cheesecake? My honest answer is no! Not to me, a big fan of baked and no-bake cheesecakes. But they taste great! The use of wonderful ingredients would obviously create something delicious. I especially love the textural quality of what a handful of raw ingredients create together. These raw berry cheesecakes are pretty easy to whip up. Plus I made them in little glass jars so they made for a lovely treat on the go. In other news, my horrid tooth is out. Hurray! A visit to the dentist had … Read More
White And Gold Cake. Because Mum is Gold!
Mum is gold! Mum is precious! Mum is love! And Mum is the world! Perhaps there is no greater truth than that. My Mum lives miles away from me and I wont get to meet her anytime soon but I have never felt her presence more than now. The funny thing is that I see so much of her in myself lately. In the way I try to reason, discipline and encourage my little boys. All the things that didn't matter to me when I was growing up and I would turn a deaf ear to has magically assumed a place of utmost importance in my life. It's weird and until last year I even hated to admit it. How could I possibly turn into the 'eat your vegetables', 'put your jumper on because you sneezed' kind of drama Mommy who will stand and watch until her kids have walked themselves all the way into the classroom during school drop-offs! What is wrong with me!!! I promise I always wanted to be a cool Mommy, whatever that means. All that being said, every Mum is special and deserves a day when she is spoilt through and through. I had this glittery, shimmering gold like cake in mind for a very long time and I feel this is just the cake for Mother's Day. So my love affair with mud cakes continues. They are just … Read More
