Passion Fruit Truffles

Passion fruit truffles. Surely, when I talk about these you’re going to forget about the fact that I have posted after what seems like eons.  Or, the fact that my replies to your emails have been slow and spotty. These passion fruit truffles have grown to become my latest obsession. And why not, it’s based […]

Happy 2011 + New Year’s Food Resolutions

Happy new year, everyone! Thanks for reading, commenting, emailing and being nothing but fantastic. 2010 has been all kinds of delicious and I noticed some peculiar developments in terms of how my palate has changed, or as I’d like to think, evolved. Milk chocolate was always my preferred chocolate, but now I can’t get enough […]

Buttery Lavender Shortbread

December has got to be the best month for a food blogger, with the season being perfect for rich breads, lots of cookies and elaborate meals. And that makes me feel really bad because I haven’t done justice to the month. While the weather in Bombay has been nothing but charming, and perfectly conducive for […]

Poached Pears in Red Wine

There are some things that are so easy to make, and yet look and sound incredibly fancy.  Poached pears fit right into that category. With a bottle of Merlot and happy looking pears at hand, I set out to make some poached pears. Within minutes, the whole place was filled with the aroma of cinnamon […]

Homemade Nutella with Nibs

Whats better than Nutella? Homemade Nutella. What’s better than Homemade Nutella? Nutella make with additions of dark chocolate, Valrhona cocoa powder and roasted cacao nibs. Oh, yes. I remember eating Nutella from the jar in college when I needed to study late into the night, hoping that the sugar will work its magic. While I […]

Tahitian Vanilla Cake

Everyone has a go-to pound cake recipe, right? Heck, I have two pound cake recipes around here already. So why would anyone possibly want to use this recipe? Well, no reason really except for the fact that these loaves baking in your oven will make the house smell spectacular. And in this case, it’s the […]

I made it!

A drumroll moment… Successful macarons with the prettiest feet and smoothest tops! Yep, I finally did it. Macarons have got quite the reputation of being tempramental cookies (macarons from this very batch cracked on the tops!), and if you’ve been here long enough you probably know that previous attempts have been far from desired. After a […]

Caramelised Onion and Goat Cheese Tart

You know what’s a good practice? Keeping some tart dough in the freezer. It perfect for times when you want to fix yourself a quick snack, or probably have guests waltzing in. All you have to do it let the dough thaw while you get your choice of filling ready. I had some goat cheese at […]
