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 […]

Cinnamon Sugar Churros

Have you ever tried churros? No? Okay, you must leave everything you’re doing right now and run to the kitchen. Do what it takes to get into the kitchen and get down to making these – right this moment. These little sticks of dough blew my mind. Awfully easy to make and even easier to polish […]

All Good Things

It feels like I’ve been away from the blog for so long. I miss baking and photographing for the blog so much. All the more because I thought that since I’m going to be baking at work, baking at home would naturally increase. But I surely didn’t weigh-in the part about traveling to work by […]

Best of 2009: Books

This has been the year of some fantastic cookbooks for me. I’ve bought them by the dozen at bookstore sales, received them as gifts and best of all, with the start of the Bread Baker’s Apprentice Challenge, I discovered that I could get my hands on books that are hard to find without having to […]

Chocolate Hazelnut Marbled Cake

Before I get to the delicious cake, I want to tell you about the big news I was holding on to a while ago. If you’re following me on Twitter or Facebook, you might have heard me gushing about finally signing ‘the contract’.No, it’s not some corporate contract boohockey or a typical 9-5 job. This contract is my entry […]

Oven-Dried Tomatoes

Until now I’ve had sun dried tomatoes from a jar and only after making these cute little babies did I realize what I’d been missing out on – über concentration of flavour. They are the same as sun-dried tomatoes, except that it doesn’t sound as fancy and the job gets done a lot quicker! While […]

Fig Tart with Vanilla Scented Frangipane

  So I did two adventurous things today: One – baked with figs, which I have never done before. And two – succumbed to my aversion for frangipane (fancy schmancy French name for a mixture of ground almonds, sugar, eggs and vanilla). Now it has got to be something that looks absolutely spectacular for me […]
