Chocolate and Hazelnut Praline Mousse
When I think of posts for my blog, there are a few things that drive my decision. Amazingly enough , the driving factors have changed from the time I started out about a year ago. In the beginning, it was primarily recipes. Some favourites, some I had developed by simply playing with ingredients and … Read More
Date Cupcakes with White Chocolate Ganache Frosting
Sticky Date Pudding. Just saying those words make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Puddings and winters are just so made for each other. This winter, I have been a bit obsessed with puddings. It just seems so easy when you leave it to the moulds or ramekins to give shape and structure to your … Read More

Plum Cream Cheese Swirl Cake
This post reminds me of my favourite time of the year..Summer! I adore everything about Summer. But what sets it apart from the other seasons for me, is the abundant choices it brings along when it comes to fruits and vegetables. I'm far from Summer at the moment...quite the opposite to be precise … Read More
Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cookie+Brownie Semifreddo
Cookies anyone? Brownies? How about ice cream? Don't even bother to answer that. Because I am going to give you all of these in one mammoth-ly delicious recipe. And you don't even need an ice cream machine! Make it, freeze it and eat it the way you like. In scoops or cut it up into slices. There are 3 elements in the recipe. The star of the show...which is the peanut butter semifreddo, peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and nutella brownies. Appears like a lot of work but trust me, it's not. Here's why. The cookies are a 5-ingredient wonder that take less than 20 minutes to make from start to finish, including baking time. And they are gluten free. Exactly the same way, the brownies are made with 3 ingredients and baked in ramekins. So you see it's all about quick and smart cooking. You always have the choice of using store bought cookies and brownies but it really isn't that hard to make them at home. Both are one-bowl recipes. And the outcome is so worth it. You will be left over with plenty to cookies to eat later. The texture of the cookies are slightly different from those that use flour. I found them to be slightly crumbly which was great for the semifreddo but … Read More
Pasta with Kale-Almond Pesto and Salmon
A delicious pasta dish made with kale pesto sauce and served with salmon to make a great weeknight dinner. t's been a while since I shared a quick weeknight dinner recipe in this space. Weeknights haven't changed, neither has there been a dearth of exploring new recipes or ingredients. But weeknights are all about quick cooking and quick eating. Tired feet, hungry stomachs, the evening chill and no natural light. There is little or no room for photography. And food that looks delicious and tastes better, deserves to be photographed and shared. Having said that, there is always excitement around dinner. With little prep and planning, the stress is taken away from cooking a meal from scratch and a warm nutritious dinner is ready to be savoured without the guilt of consuming loads of calories. Jars of homemade pesto have come to my rescue for years of cooking simple delicious meals. How convenient is it when dinner is a matter of opening a jar and stirring through its contents through a pot of freshly cooked pasta. To spruce up the dish are flakes of pan fried salmon, a generous shaving of parmesan and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. And that is all. Does that mean … Read More
Spicy Kale, Sweet Potato And Broad Bean Quinoa Pilaf
Quinoa. Everyone apparently wants to include it in their diet, it is increasingly visible in supermarkets and health stores. there are recipes doing the rounds all over the Internet, even in restaurant menus and it is categorised as a Superfood. Right? These are facts that I came to learn about Quinoa since it took the food industry by storm. But despite knowing this I was never convinced to buy quinoa or cook with it. I would come across packaged quinoa every time I would go past the health section of the grocery store, hold it in my hands...take a good look and then return it back on the shelf. Nothing about it appeared different from any other grain. It was not until recently that I started including quinoa in my meals. I was looking for healthy alternatives to rice that would make a meal by itself without much fuss. More importantly it had to take up flavours well. Though I use couscous at times on account of the convenience of making it, I've never been a fan. I was surprised how easy it was to cook with quinoa and it would go with any kind of cuisine. It was easy to blend it into a dish whether Italian, Mexican or Indian. But what is a Superfood? And why is … Read More
No-Bake Lemon And Lime Cheesecake. A Mother’s Day Post.
You know I've never told my Mom 'I love you Mom'. Not in so many words. I've always marvelled at her strength, the way she's able to embrace situations...for being the Mommy who has a solution for everything. I wanted to tell her 'Hey Mom..you are a Super woman'. But I didn't. Ever. Perhaps I've just taken her for granted all along or maybe like many of us, I've assumed that she would know. But motherhood, since it happened to me 4 years ago, it changed my perception about every big or little relationship in my life. Unlike me, my little boys are quite vocal about their affection towards their mother. And I am ever so ready to hear them, to read the little love notes scribbled in crayons or get hugged over and over again. A million times over. I will be meeting my Mommy at end of this month, after a year. Something that I am really looking forward to. I'd love to bake for her and also get her into the kitchen to cook all my favourite dishes. Ironically, my mother is diabetic...to the highest degree. So was my grandmother. It runs in the family so I need to keep a tab on my blood sugar levels. Funny, considering that sugar is the core of my creations, the basis of this … Read More
