Strawberry Rhubarb Tarts

Yesterday when I was at the market going through the usual vegetable section, I saw a lone pair of greenish stalks on one of the shelves. I almost didn’t pay any attention to it, thinking it was celery.  And just when I went closer to pick up the box of endamame beans placed right next […]

Strawberry and Apple Jam

When I saw the picture of the strawberry jam in Ina Garten’s Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics, I just knew that I had to make that jam. Gorgeous ruby red, with blueberries peeking through, the jam looked spectacular. What I found even more interesting was that Ina had used green apples with the strawberries for […]

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.

Watermelon and Strawberry Slushie

With the temperatures soaring (100°F/40°C, no less!) what I really need these days is something light and refeshing. I chopped up some watermelon and pulled out some strawberries from the freezer and this was ready in no time. The only thing that takes a wee bit of time is deseeding the watermelon. I loved the […]

Strawberry Coulis

With the strawberry season in full swing, I was most tempted to try the recipe shared by Miriam – a reader and now a friend after several rounds of e-mailing. She first got in touch with me when she was looking for a Chocolate Cake recipe for her husband’s birthday a couple of months ago. […]

Strawberry Hand Pies

As soon I stumbled upon the step by step photos on making pop tarts on Chez Pim, I knew I’d have to give it a thumbs up. With my 5 y.o. cousin who’s always happy to bake with me, these strawberry pop tarts would be perfect, given that he’s not a fan of chocolate (Yes, […]
