Another delicious version of the cavity cake, three layers fill the cavity – dark chocolate, vanilla bean white chocolate and strawberry jelly from scratch. I always have frozen berries in my freezer but you could use fresh ones too. The recipe is a simple one bowl eggless sponge, and the way to make the cavity is as simple as it looks.
A collage of images I’ve taken over the years. It’s a random selection of things close to my heart – food styling, food photography, creating desserts, collecting bric-a-brac, traveling, exploring India, chocolate, coffee, seasonal produce … COLOUR!
Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Walnut Truffles … more ways to use fresh pumpkin puree, dark chocolate & walnuts this festive season. The truffles turned out surprisingly delicious. No added sugar, glutenfree, festive, indulgent! And yes, simple as can be!
Cold Cucumber Garlic Soup… one of 10 things you can make in your Kitchen Aid Blender. Think dips, chutneys, batter, waffles, ice cream, fruit purees, nut butters, smoothies & smoothie bowls. That and so much more!!
Oat Walnut Trifles with Roasted Stone Fruit came together like they were just meant to be. Every element paired beautifully with the other. The oat walnut sponge offered great texture to ‘drink up’ the juices of the vanilla roasted fruit. The low fat cream whipped up beautifully with almond undertones luxuriously settling down atop the soaked fruity sponge in silky swirls.
Wholewheat Apple Walnut Cheddar Thyme Hand Pies … these pies carry a tale of their own, pie memories too. They turned out to be quite delicious. I think they are a fab fit for Pie day which incidentally falls today on the 14th of March.
