Mousse-a-cotta with Macs in the Air!
A deliicous experiment later, mousse-a-cotta or panna-mousse is what found its way back into these goblets. It found its way into the dwarfs tummies at express speed too! They loved the second fast track attempt, one that I added a dash of espresso to as well. Served them with sesame macarons!

Chocolate Pavlovas with Chocolate Mascarpone Mousse & Preserved Stone Fruit
“To follow without halt, one aim; there is the secret of success. And success? What is it? I do not find it in the applause of the theater. It lies rather in the satisfaction of accomplishment.” Anna Pavlova The June 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Dawn of Doable and Delicious. Dawn challenged the Daring Bakers’ to make Chocolate Pavlovas and Chocolate Mascarpone Mousse. The challenge recipe is based on a recipe from the book Chocolate Epiphany by Francois Payard. It’s the Daring Bakers time of the month again, and I’ve just got it together in the nick of time. The challenge Dawn chose is primarily based on…

He wants a blow-by-blow account…& keeps saying “And Mama, and what else, and…and”, a pregnant pause between each question, in the vain hope that I’ll say I made dessert.

How can I break his heart so often? I often do because he has a…

MANGO JELLY MOUSSE WITH CHOCOLATE…bidding a sweet farewell!
“I love fruit, when it is expensive.” Sir Arthur Wing Pinero The mango season cometh, & now, the mango season goeth!! I think it’s now sadly the fag end of the much touted & celebrated mango season in India…& all stone fruits have beaten a retreat one by one. We are enjoying the last clutch of pretty expensive mangoes which are tortuously bidding us adieu…which meant it was time to make a mangoee something with chocolate for Meeta’s What’s For Lunch Honey? for her event, Monthly Mingle August 2008: Fruit & Chocolate. She called for a combination of fruit & chocolate & I thought this up on a day I…
