Strawberry Lassi

If there is anything I can drink by the gallon, it’s got to be Strawberry Lassi. Lassi is a perfectly smooth yoghurt-based creamy drink that is really popular in India (Of course, blending it with strawberries isn’t  traditional.) This is a season favourite that has become a breakfast staple for me (along with being a lunch […]

Strawberry Butter

The best things to come out of my kitchen from last year’s strawberry madness were without a doubt the strawberry pop tarts and the supremely creamy frozen strawberry yoghurt that I made over and over again (and I don’t think I can ever get enough of. Ever.) Just when I thought nothing could possibly outdo these favourites […]

Strawberry Sorbet

While I’m big on collecting kitchen tools and gadgets and I’d like to think that I put them all to good use, the one thing I regret not using enough of is my ice cream maker. And every single time that I do use, I end up kicking myself for letting it gather all the […]

Strawberry Tartlets with Pastry Cream

I love strawberries. I wait all year just so that I can bite into the sweetness of this heart shaped deliciousness. Is there anyone who doesn’t love the burst of sweet, slightly tart juices in the mouth? To celebrate my love for the fruit I thought it’d be fun to do a week of some […]

Hazelnut Chocolate Truffles

I love chocolate truffles for two reasons: You have an excuse to grab the best chocolate in your pantry. Truffles freeze really well. This gives you a chance to make lots of them and simply freeze them. Just pull them out whenever you feel the sudden compulsive need to satiate your chocolate craving. Like right […]

Mulberry Yoghurt

Of late, I’ve been eating fruit yoghurt every morning. This is one breakfast item I haven’t gotten bored of ever since I discovered the goodness that a berry + yoghurt mixture can yield. Fast forward to January ‘10, I still eat berries and yoghurt with the same gusto. Of course, sometimes I use regular yoghurt […]

Rich, luscious Chocolate Mousse

Chocoholics – you’re going to love this! I made a chocolate mousse the other day and I cannot begin to tell you how delicious it was. I’m usually the kind who feels squeamish about having raw eggs in my desserts – especially yolks, but in this mousse you just can’t tell. Make sure to use […]

Chocolate Caramel Tartlets

Or better still the title of this post should be Oh. My. Goodness. Because that’s what I said when I bit into this luscious caramel tartlet covered with a thick layer of dark chocolate and then sprinkled with some nutty cacao nibs. These tartlets are small and delicate with a buttery, almost cookie like crust […]
