Purple Carrot Cake

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, … 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 … 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 … Read More
Chocolate, Raspberry And Pomegranate Clafoutis

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 … Read More
Caramel Ice Cream Cheesecake With Salted Butterscotch Sauce And Meringue
12|05|2015
There was a time when I would buy a can of condensed milk only to dip my flat breads into. On Sundays when breakfasts could be a bit elaborate and I could stand in front of the sizzling frying pan, patiently turning flat breads one at time whilst simultaneously rolling out the next one, I would always make a few extras. Flat breads as you know are best served immediately. But I couldn't resist the idea of savoring them later with a few tablespoons of creamy condensed milk. Then I discovered Delce de Leche. After that, the only reason condensed milk came into my kitchen was to make Dulce de Leche. A simple process but time consuming and requiring a fair amount of supervision. The taste was however so worth the effort that sometimes I would make the flat breads only to finish up the Dulce de Leche. After that, I discovered Caramel Top n Fill and that was the end of my Dulce de Leche making. The thick, rich caramel sauce is so similar in taste to Dulce de Leche minus the effort to make it. My flat breads found a new partner. Nope! This is not a sponsored post. I am sharing this because I figured out another favorite way of eating it. In this cheesecake. During summer this … Read More
Coconut Cream With Pineapple Curd And Toasted Coconut Chips
7|05|2015
A short and sweet post today. Sweet but without gluten and without dairy. This is a quick dessert that one can whip up in a jiffy with just a few ingredients. Ever since I came across a way to make whipped coconut cream from a can of coconut milk on the Kitchn, I have been meaning to put together a tropical flavored dessert. I mean, what an amazing alternative to whipped cream! If you love the flavor of coconut, this treat is for you. The pineapple curd came from last week's orange loaf with pineapple curd recipe. After we had generously dolloped over mini pavlovas, spread on toast and swirled over oatmeal in the last week, we still had some leftover and I couldn't be happier for the timing. Since the pineapple curd can be made ahead, this dessert can be put together instantly. There are days when you have cravings when a bar of chocolate cannot satisfy, (though very rare for me) or you just want variety. I decided to keep things simple as much as possible so I used toasted coconut chips for a bit of crunch and appeal. Feel free to top them with toasted desiccated coconut, fresh pineapple or mango or even grated white chocolate as substitutes. There are no hard and … Read More
Double Chocolate Banana Cake- Easy Mother’s Day Dessert
5|05|2015
I was sitting at the conference table at my office 5 years ago looking at our performance reports when I received a text from my doctor's office. 'Your first ultrasound scan is scheduled for next Friday'. I called them back. 'What do I have to do...what happens during the ultrasound?'' You will get the first glimpse of your baby. Drink lots of water' the assistant told me 'What..really?' I thought to myself picturing an angel face with chubby hands and feet. I was so nervous the following week when I reached the clinic. 'Do you see the movement of the baby?' the doctor pointed at the large monitor in front of her. All I could see were black and white patches on the screen and a tiny little thing..probably the size of a pea moving slowly. 'Would you like to hear your baby's heart beat?' 'Yes' I suppressed a scream. After that, what I heard might have made my heart stop beating f0r a moment. I was speechless! It was a big surprise that I was not prepared for. But what I was about to hear next was probably the surprise of my life yet. 'Wait, there is something else!' She ran out to call another senior doctor. They told me they could see another fetus which may or may not … Read More
CSR Sugar, Blueberry Lovers Cake And Giveaway
27|04|2015
Disclaimer: This post is brought to you by Nuffnang and CSR Sugar. Writing a dessert blog with 'Sugar' in the title may be a cliché but that word in all honesty, stands for many of the happy, nostalgic, inspiring moments in my kitchen. I love playing around with different forms of sugar in both sweet and savory recipes. I enjoy sprinkling it on baked goods before I photograph them because it adds another dimension to the image. Sugar is more than just an ingredient for me. As a child, I learnt that a sweet start was the best way to embark on any new journey and for me that sweet start was Sugar. Sugar is that spoonful of remedy, my Mum put in my mouth when I burnt my tongue with hot food. Sugar to me is therapeutic. Dynamic! Sugar flavours. It preserves (think jams). It enhances. Leavens. Stabilizes. It is a baker's weapon. A cook's secret to balance of flavour. A child's fantasy! The stuff that sweet memories are made of! It is the single most ingredient that gives meringue its sizzle, transforms butter to buttercream, gives toffee its intensity and Creme Brulee its gorgeous crust. Sugar is mighty! Yet it is affordable. CSR is a name I associate with from my … Read More
