STRAWBERRY YOGURT PANNA COTTA
“The secret lies in the love and the effort the maker puts into the creation. It really is a simple dessert to make. There’s nothing to it.” Maria Olivas Have finally found the time to post this lovely strawberry yogurt panna cotta which I made when my blogger friend Nachiketa was visiting. She came in to spend some time with me, & we did a whole lot of fun stuff that day , including cake & cupcake decoration. You can find the cake decoration post here. That day, we had a really hurried lunch, which we finished off with this simple, yet sublime, dessert which I made in a bit…

PUMPKIN PANNA COTTA…Pumpkin Spice & All Things Nice!
“Ask not what your Pumpkin can do for you, ask what you can do for your pumpkin!” I walked into the bazaar the other morning to come face to face with a very excited vegetable vendor. He knows my glee at any new veggie or fruit that shows up locally, & always picks a few good ones & saves them for me. He was waiting with something new which he called Chinese ‘kaddu’ or Chinese pumpkin. It’s strange, but most new veggies that appear seem to bear a generic China name. The large garlic we use is referred to as China garlic & now this pumpkin too. I think it’s…

STRAWBERRY PANNA COTTA WITH A STRAWBERRY COULIS…the one that wouldn’t oblige!
“I leave my fats for dessert.”Bruce Mathews My favourite dessert of all time is a panna cotta. Panna cotta, an Italian dessert, which literally means cooked cream, is luxurious & creamy, eggless & sensual. In winter, we like a deep dark chocolate panna cotta. Come summer & I’m all for fruity flavour. With winter on it’s last legs here, throwing up the odd cold front now & again, strawberries are flooding the market. Good fresh strawberries are available for a shortish period of time, & then they kind of perish in the heat. I made a panna cotta with strawberries the other day because I had 2 boxes in the…

MANGO YOGURT PANNA COTTA…A TANGO WITH MANGO!
“…a big part of cooking is choosing the ingredients. And a big part of serving is doing it with pride” Ruth Reichl Mango Yogurt Panna Cotta…light & delicious With the mango season finally upon us, it’s difficult to stay away from this sensuous fruit. It is enticing, it is mesmerising, & it is bursting with juicy sweetness. The season will last the next 3-4 months & I intend to use this luscious fruit as much as I can! I guess you will see quite a few mango posts, some healthy & others not entirely so, popping outta my blog this summer (it’s already 42 degrees C here; small mercies that…

DARK CHOCOLATE PANNA COTTA…It’s all about the kidz in us!
“I can resist everything except temptation” Oscar Wilde Dark Chocolate Panna Cotta…deeply divine! Foolishly put the question across to the kids, asked them what they love to eat most….& nearly got run over in the ensuing melee. Sweet ranked supreme, & chocolate was the popular call.. “Chocolate panna cotta“ sang the chorus!! Did I have to ask? I seldom do because I like to keep rotating flavours, especially chocolaty ones, lest they get stuck on one. I asked today because Ben has a special kids event on for Food for Plastic Kidz as ‘Tupperware is celebrating April as Children’s month. The best part is that they are donating $1 from…
