A chocolate tart with a deeply luscious Nutella and chocolate filling, a vegetarian filling, which can be made ahead and is ADDICTIVE! This is my entry for The Secret Recipe Club this May.

No Bake Dessert| Creme au chocolat shots … fudgy, indulgent, deep chocolate creme
This is my fast track version of Crème au chocolat which translates simply into my idea of an indulgent chocolate cream! The basic recipe is quite versatile, and can be easily doubled too. I like it because it can be made in advance. Also, desserts in glasses always appeal to me. They make a bold, crisp statement, and allow for contrasting pairing that you can show off. Serve it with either fresh seasonal fruit and herbs, with amaretti cookies, or paired with vanilla bean macarons. Then again, spike it with your favourite cherry liquor and serve with juicy bing cherries, or give it an espresso kick … the possibilities are…

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…

HIBISCUS MACARONS with LAVENDER-HIBISCUS MASCARPONE CREAM… MacAttack!!
“Food is so primal, so essential a part of our lives, often the mere sharing of recipes with strangers turns them into good friends. That’s why I love this community.” Jasmine Heiler So much happening all the time, haven’t had a free moment ever since I’ve been back from the Food Blogger Connect in London. I’ve been busy baking scones (101 Cookbook) and a Ginger Cake (David Lebovitz recipe), and I’m just in time to make the deadline for the 2nd MacAttack which Jamie and I are hosting. It’s time to get back to MACTWEETS where we’ve found this amazing bunch of peeps joining us find ‘FEET‘. Making macarons began…

CHOCOLATE MACARONS with PISTACHIO BUTTERCREAM … ‘FEETS, FEETS,’ I GOT ‘FEETS’
One more imaginary scowl from Monsieur Lebovitz later, quick discussions with Hilda, Aparna, & Meeta, I experimented for the 6th time that particular day. Two trays, 140C, a bowl at the bottom to absorb extra heat, resting time of an hour... and the Mr Levobitz's Chocolate Macaron recipe finally found me my 'feet'!

FROZEN STRAWBERRY YOGURT…a refreshing ice-cream in disguise!
“Ice cream is exquisite. What a pity it isn’t illegal.” Voltaire And when it is ‘N O F A T’, as in fat-free, insanely fruity & tangy, & has yogurt, then it’s even bettah! This refreshing Frozen Strawberry Yogurt is much the ice-cream that I crave, & has all the goodness of the world stirred inside it. Stirred because it’s hand made, yes you heard right, as I don’t own an ice-cream machine, & David Levobitz is quite right when he says you can make ice-cream without a machine. Rolling lasagna for Daring Baker’s Lasgana of Emilio Romagna (embarrassingly I was amongst a large number of us who thought Emilio…
