{No Bake/Vegetarian Dessert} TROPICAL FRUIT VERRINES… Stoned this summer!
“Give me book, fruit, French wine, and fine weather and a little music out of doors played by someone I do not know” John Keats We’ve been stoned nice and proper this summer! No, no, it’s not what you think. It’s just that we’ve had a wonderful bounty of stone fruit, and just when I think it’s the end of the season, the vibrant bazaar and the vendor tempt me back with more fruit to offer! A few days ago, my favourite fruit-vendor promised me another week of peaches. Just when I heaved a sigh of relief that I still had time, and there was really no need for…

Ricotta & Cream Cheese Chili Poppers with Kiwi Salsa
The poppers were darned delicious little bites. They got created in an attempt to use up some left over home made ricotta that I had made for roasted bell peppers and ricotta bruschetta 2 days ago. I eye balled the ingredients, and have to say these little poppers were wonderful.

Cherry Matcha Cheesecake Pots … Inspired by Donna Hay
Out of this situation only good will come. I am Safe. One of my favorite affirmations.” Louise Hay on twitter I love reading about cookbooks people own, new ones they’ve added to their collections, and often find myself adding books to my wish list. Ottolenghi: The Cookbook was one such wonderful book, and I was thrilled when Hilda presented it to me. The connect was special, and the book worth every printed word. Reading about Plenty many times in the past few months, and then again last night on Nordjus made me update my virtual list! Yes, another one added to the ever growing list. I couldn’t believe my good…

Nobake Strawberry Quark Cheesecake
“Gourmandise is an impassioned, rational and habitual preference for all objects that flatter the sense of taste.” Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin Happy MAY! Anyone know what happened to March and April? Time is flying, and how. In the blink of an eye, the first quarter of 2010 whizzed by, and strangely enough, we’re already into May. Summer is here in the Northern Hemisphere, much awaited after a cold dark winter, yet a little too hot for us. We are truly looking the hot Indian summer in the face with the mercury consistently hitting 40-43C, much the ‘fry the egg on the sidewalk’ situation. Our days are ruled by heavy dust laden…

Caramel Cream Refrigerator Cakes with Roasted Strawberries … tiny delights!
“So many ideas, so much I want to do, so little time… But I love the feeling of being inspired…” Canelle Vanille on Twitter I love the lines above. Saw them on twitter a few days ago, and they stayed in my mind. I went back to look for them today as a quote that is truly reflective of my feelings too!! Aran expressed it beautifully! It’s now the end of the strawberry season here and I giggled with glee looking at my stash of strawberries I had lugged from my recent vacation. Sadly now with the mercury rising, they threaten to spoil very soon. If earlier I could safely…

In the jar with … Strawberry Vanilla Bean Conserve
“Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did” William Allen Butler I don’t think there ever was or can be a more luscious, a more colourful and a more passionate berry than the strawberry. It’s beautifully shaped… c’mon, how many more berries would give us perfect hearts on being cross sectioned? Each time I see them, my heart skips a beat. I’ve done loads of strawberry stuff this season, and would have happily done loads more had I not felt guilty of dessert overdose. I think strawberries are the perfect dessert ingredient, and compliment most cheeses and tropical fruit. Strawberries in pastry, in cake, in…
