Fresh Strawberry And Whipped Coconut Cream Tart
4|07|2015
I couldn't believe my eyes when I looked at my bathroom scales this morning. I lost weight! A good 2 kilos. What I've been trying to achieve through exercise and self restraint in pastry matters, without luck..I achieved through a few weeks of medical tests and doctor visits. If you remember this … Read More
Mango Lassi Popsicles

I grew up watching my Mum make yogurt at home. A warm corner of the house was permanently reserved for this. As I child I was fascinated by the process by which a little yogurt could create more yogurt. And then the the same yogurt would make subsequent batches of yogurt. An impressive cycle! The … Read More

I am truly overwhelmed and touched by your heartfelt and beautiful messages on my last post. It makes me warm and fuzzy even during the coldest days in Sydney. If I happen to mention Sydney winters to my cousins and extended family in the Northern Hemisphere, they don't take me seriously. Like … Read More
Chocolate Cake With Salted Peanut Chocolate Ganache And Chocolate Meringue
17|06|2015
Let's celebrate! Celebrate what? Nothing...something...everything? Today I want to celebrate nothing. That nothing is wrong with me or my loved ones. That my life is extremely ordinary, normal...chaotic and beautiful. That I have a lot to delight in and plenty to fret about. That I am able to eat, … Read More
Purple Carrot Cake
9|06|2015
A visit to the Farmer's markets inevitably results in two, sometimes more salads at home. I don't know about you but I get completely blown away by beautiful, fresh produce. I may go looking for something and come back with a lot more. Most often the 'more' will have add-on-s (leaves, stems, branches attached to them) and I will struggle to push them into my refrigerator. I always have the option of discarding the unwanted stuff but I am food blogger...there is nothing called as 'unwanted'. Of course I need the purple carrots with their tops on for my photos. My favorite farmer's market is located about 20 kilometers from home. Yet I'd go there every weekend if I can. Before we left this time, hubby told me 'I am not having salad tonight!' 'Well, then let's move next to the farmer's market' I replied convinced that a long trip needs to be justified with a substantial buy. In the process every time, we end up buying a lot, eating a lot and by evening all that one has room for is a salad and dessert (that's because I bring them back too...like the gorgeous quince frangipane tart I bought this time:-)) Even though I planned a golden beetroot salad for … Read More
3 Simple and Quick Weeknight Recipes With Salmon
2|06|2015
Dinners with Salmon are common in my house. Since salmon is quick to cook, healthy and delicious the idea is to add it to dishes that cook faster. Then dinner is always a breeze. I also love the fact that I can pick up a pack from the supermarket that is just ready to cook...no prepping! Since salmon can be cooked in so many ways, flavored with a variety of sauces and marinades and served alongside a diverse range of vegetables, grain or meal, there is no end to the number of recipes one can have. I decided to share a few of my favorite ways of to eat Salmon today. Sticky Asian Salmon with Soba Noodles Soba noodles are made from buckwheat flour and a great option for people on a gluten free diet (make sure you read the label properly). It also cooks very quickly which is the reason I pair it often with salmon. For some heat, you could add chopped red chillies to the marinade. Sticky Asian Salmon With Soba Noodles And Greens serves 4 4 skinless salmon fillets 2 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp honey 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar 1 inch ginger, peeled and grated 2 cloves garlic, finely sliced 2 tsp olive oil Asian greens (chopped broccoli, snow peas, green peas, chives), to … Read More
Raspberry Cupcakes With Rose Infused Cream
25|05|2015
In the last two years, when food is placed on the table, my family has developed a ritual of asking me 'Is it ready for eating?' Basically what it means is 'Have you finished taking photos?' I can't appreciate this enough. I do feel guilty many times and I am sure this is something most food bloggers would relate to. I also have a little boy at home who has a major weakness for sweet food, especially cupcakes. He cannot wait for the cupcakes to cool down from the oven let alone allow me to frost them. As a result, cupcakes are not the most photographed objects in my house. Last week the little boy was unwell and stayed back home while his brother went to school alone. Both were sad as they waved goodbye. Such occasions have been rare between them in the past and the only time they've been separated is possibly when either one was sick. To cheer him up, I read to him, we watched his favorite cartoons, played videos of them as babies but nothing seemed to lift up his mood. Then I gave him the option of baking with me. I was not surprised that he wanted to bake cupcakes. This 5 year old boy of mine is quite a pro with cookies and cupcakes. He taught me to make Dutch Pepernoten … Read More
Chocolate, Raspberry And Pomegranate Clafoutis
20|05|2015
In the last couple of years we have changed houses several times. Renting gives you the absolute freedom to explore different neighborhoods, scenery, lifestyles, landscape, people etc. When we packed our bags, a few years ago and left for a new country, I doubt if we ever imagined that a rather large part of our belongings would still remain in those bags, lest we move again within the finite boundaries of a dynamic country. I still have boxes that were taped years ago and remain unopened till this day. Old books, albums, glassware. showpieces and so on. Why unwrap them when you might have to pack again? On the other hand, the things we acquired in recent times continued to grow along with storage to accommodate them. Choosing a place to live, initially is more about the external aspects than internal ones. Easy access to stores, parks, hospitals and proximity to the buzz of the city centre. Over time these get replaced by a different set of priorities. For us it was the school for the boys. Fortunately we were able to move closer to the school which was a blessing considering the significant amount of time they will be spending there. Lately, we have been craving the sense … Read More
