Strawberry And Apple Hand Pies
Living up to the annual ritual in Autumn we went apple picking as usual. I can't say that they are my favourite fruit but something about the season, the weather and the orchards have ensured that we do it every year with the kids. This time we were a bit disappointed that there were more apples on … Read More

A quick post today to share these Easter egg filled cupcakes. It's a long weekend as you know and ours is longer because the school gave an extra holiday so I've hardly hard time to catch my breath. And of course eggs. Chocolate eggs are in every possible place imaginable in my house. And I am not … Read More
Coconut Cake Minis With Blackberries And White Chocolate
Berries are fabulous with coconut flavored desserts and so is white chocolate! I've been wanting to make a blackberry based cake for a long time but since I only had a small punnet of them at home, I decided to make mini cakes instead of a large one. Individually portioned desserts have their own … Read More
Pickled Radish And Grapefruit Salad
Pickling is a great way of adding flavor to vegetables whilst increasing their shelf life. Among all the pickled vegetables I've tasted, pickled radish is my favorite. When pink baby radishes start appearing at the farmer's markets, it'a sign that Spring is round the corner. And that is when salads … Read More
Easy Chocolate Cake With Raspberries
I think it's important for everyone to have a great, reliable and easy chocolate cake recipe in their kitty that they can pull out when the situation calls for it. There are always birthdays and special days when you just want to skip the bakery and bake your loved ones a homemade cake. Or maybe a chocolate craving or just something nice for the weekend. This one is my go to chocolate cake. I visit it time and again, adjust the weights according to the number of servings required and tweak the recipe a little bit depending on the flavors I am looking for. This is a cake that is moist, firm and very choclatey despite being made with a few pantry ingredients. The chocolate fudge buttercream is totally decadent and glossy just the way I like it. If I am after a chocolate orange cake, I add orange zest to the cake batter and the frosting. For a mocha cake, I would add a teaspoon of coffee and so on. Basically, it's a versatile and easy to make cake. I've made it in 3, 6 inch pans for this recipe but I've also made a single layer cake earlier using the same recipe. If you are not confident about your piping skills, spreading the frosting into rustic swirls looks equally amazing … Read More
Banana, Peanut Butter And Oat Smoothie
If there was one thing on my cooking bucket list that I most definitely wanted to tick off in 2016, it was to try out oats in a smoothie. I've been fascinated all the while with the idea of a on-the-go drinkable breakfast and what better than chilled, nutritious and filling glasses of oat smoothie on hot summer days. So now my packet of rolled oats is sitting in a jar, ground and ready to be added to my latest obsession, every morning. To tell you the truth, I am hooked! There are various ways of including oats in your drink. You could use the overnight soaked oats or add the oats along with other ingredients directly into the blender. The process I like to use is to grind the oats first either in a coffee grinder or a food processor to a coarse powder. Then I can use it whenever I want to. That saves time and gives the smoothie a creamier yet thick consistency with some texture. After I shot this first combo, I made 2 other combinations with stone fruits, coconut milk, herbs, chia seeds and lots of other things. It's fun to watch all the great ingredients disappear into the liquid with a few whirls of the blender. Banana, Peanut Butter and Oat Smoothie Makes … Read More
Beetroot And Feta Fritters
Healthy, quick and easy fritters made with roasted beetroot and feta cheese, Perfect for breakfast, lunchbox or a nutritious snack. This recipe is a regular in our house. The basic fritter gets made, remade, revamped in multiple ways by every single member of the house. In fact last year, the boys (then 5 years old) had to do a little cooking demonstration at school and guess which recipe they chose? It is that easy and versatile. And healthy and quick and portable and really delicious. The only thing it is not? It is not sweet. It is s a savory recipe so I guess it was just awaiting it's turn quietly behind all those sweet recipes that make it to the blog. The great thing about the recipe is that you can use any vegetable of your choice. I've made it with mashed peas, shredded carrots, corn, tomatoes, kale, you name it! It is no secret that I LOVE beetroot. I like the way it complements the saltiness in feta and it just happens to be an amazing pairing whether it's in a tart, salad or fritter. And of course, the colour! Naturally vibrant and so pretty. These fritters make a healthy snack and a great lunchbox treat. They also make pretty canapes with a cream cheese … Read More
Floral Cupcakes With Buttercream + Blog Birthday
It was Sugar et al's birthday this week and my blog turned 3. Such amazing 3 years and so much to look back and feel proud about. Sometimes, I feel I am not even the same person anymore. I have evolved in more than one way along with my blog. It's like I was on a path to self-discovery all this while. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this journey with me. For stopping by, listening to me and putting a big smile on my face. This space is not only special to me because I get to do all my favourite things here but also because the journey is synonymous with my personal journey in a totally new country. I started the blog weeks after I came to live in Australia. It's funny now when I look at my prop cupboards and all the things I managed to own in 3 years. Can you believe it? I came with a single baking pan and a few muffin liners. Much like all my friends in blog world, I worked really hard to improve and grow. In the process, I've grown more critical of my own work and need to constantly remind myself to take it easy. Putting a blog post together involves many different activities. From researching to testing out recipes, styling, … Read More
