Hazelnut Cheesecake

Another month, another challenge for the Daring Bakers, yet the one thing that hasn’t changed is me typing super fast to make it in time for posting! And to tell you the truth, it is for this very rush that I wait till the last minute to bake. Maybe this leaves me with little time […]

A year of blogging and Nutella cupcakes!

Today I complete one year of being a part of the blogosphere (yay me!). I started off hoping to use PurpleFoodie.com as a place where I could collect my recipes and keep track of my cooking and baking experiments. Little did I know that a year down the line, the blog would mean a lot […]

Daring Bakers: Chocolate Éclairs by Pierre Hermé
