Crusty Hazelnut Loaf Cake

I’ve got to admit, I’m not one of those people who always picks a corner piece of a brownie or the first slice of a freshly-cut pound cake. I’ll let others have it. I much prefer the soft, gooey or buttery (as the case may be) interior. Inadvertently, one fine afternoon, I came across a hazelnut […]

Chocolate Chocolate Cake

Everybody must have a good chocolate cake recipe. Everybody. The kind that you scribble down in your notebook, the kind you memorise, the kind your friends keep asking you to make over and over again.

Chocolate Filled Chocolate Cookies

I go through cookie phases. I don’t make them for months at a stretch, but when I do, I can’t seem to stop. With cookies showing up all over the blogosphere this season, I got sucked into the madness as well. First, it was the walnut-rosemary that sat in a cookie tin on my desk. […]

Parisian Hot Chocolate

A little while ago, I had hot chocolate at the famed Angelina in Paris. It was the most expensive hot chocolate of my life at €7.20. Served in a pitcher with a small pot of whipped cream, the hot chocolate is what dreams are made of. The hot chocolate at Angelina (L’Africain) is rich and smooth, […]

Nutella Cake

I have three huge bottles of Nutella sitting on my shelf. My mom would be furious if she knew; but then, that’s my excuse for not making unnecessary trips to the supermarket. After having my fill of Nutella slathered on toast and straight from the jar, I decided I’d bake some of it into a […]
