Zafrani Phirini | Saffron Almond Indian Rice Pudding
Zafrani Phirini | Saffron Almond Indian Rice Pudding… some desserts become your signature and this is one of those. I have been making phirini or rice pudding for years. Each time I try and simplify the process just a little more since I am always short on time. This time I really fast tracked the method {I’m quite proud of the result if I may say so myself} and it’s been highly praised by everyone who’s tasted it.I’ve made this 3 times already and each time the result is consistently good and consistently delicious.

Wine marinated chicken taco bites
Wine marinated chicken taco bites turned out to be such fun little bites, and a great snack to serve, with wine perhaps?

Experimenting is always good, and this was real fun. I decided to do mini tacos as finger food. There's something about small portions that is very charming!

Baked White Chocolate Cheesecake with Mascarpone & Strawberries … BEST CHEESECAKE EVER
Baked White Chocolate Cheesecake with Mascarpone & Strawberries might well be my best cheesecake to date. Smooth, rich, indulgent, satisfying and quite impressive for something made so simple. A quick jam like reduction, some balsamic, some vanilla, a dash of lime juice and sugar of course yielded a beautiful topping for the cheesecake.

Dark Chocolate Wholegrain Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
Dark Chocolate Wholegrain Cupcakes with Maple Syrup Cream Cheese Frosting. It's been forever since I baked cupcakes or muffins. I bake cakes and cookies more often I guess, possibly, lazy me. Yet when Spring comes and summer is round the corner, the first thing I reach out for are these gorgeous cupcake liners a sweet friend sent me. This time I also had on hand a 100% pure maple syrup from Canada.
