Crispy outside and marshmallow like inside, pavlovas are such a perfect dessert idea when you want to wow your family or guests with very less effort. Serve with whipped cream and fresh fruits for a quick dessert. But if you have some time in hand, try with this berry and cherry thyme compote. Floral flavor and not overly sweet with a gorgeous color! Mini Pavlova with fruit and thyme compote is a great summer treat loved by anybody who has a sweet tooth. It’s a small batch and makes just 5 mini pavlovas.
The layers of texture, color and flavor make this Coconut Chia Granola Parfait not only tasty but also a lovely looking healthy breakfast. It is sure to brighten up your morning. I am not a morning person and so, a breakfast that doesn’t involve too much work or brainpower always makes me happy. The layering of this Coconut Chia Granola Parfait is easy and fun.

Fresh fruits with cream cheese and smoky charred meringue on a buttery crumbly puff pastry! This Fruit and Meringue Tart is a perfect holiday dessert that is easy to put together. I try to stay away from puff pastry as much possible. It is my guilty pleasure. However, with the holiday season in full swing, I guess that occasional naughty bites are allowed!
Few months back, we bought our first waffle maker. We have always loved waffles but somehow it took us a long time to get one of those gadgets. I just try not to crowd the kitchen with appliances. But thanks to the waffle maker, our weekend breakfast got easy. Most weekends, I like to serve something that takes more time to prepare than usual. But then on some weekends, I just want to make a fancy breakfast without putting any effort at all. On these lazy mornings, I make this Almond Lemon Waffles with colorful berries and whipped cream.

This summer, probably for the first time, I am missing the Indian Monsoon. The rain, the smell of sand after first rain, getting drenched and especially, eating crispy pakodas with hot masala tea by the window while watching raindrops wash away the heat. It hasn’t rained here for so many months now that I have even forgotten when it rained last. Some days, it gets cloudy in the morning but by the afternoon, it’s a clear cheerful sky. I hate to complain because nothing makes me happier than waking up to a sunny summer morning however, a little shower now and then would…
“Jam on a winter took away the blue devils. It was like tasting summer.” - Sandra Dallas Most people make multiple batches of jam in summer and preserve it to enjoy in winter. And here I am, posting a recipe of mixed berry jam on a cold winter evening. Anybody in my club on this? I doubt! All jams begin with delicious fruits and my plan was to wait for summer to make a fresh batch until my eyes fell on these gorgeous looking berries. I know it's not the right season but they were so pretty, juicy and very…
The countdown is over and finally, it's the first day of summer. The heat is on with temperatures shooting up to 90 F and I am totally feeling the sunshine. The weather has been playing a game with us. With all the unpredictable rain and cold winds, spring didn't feel like spring at all. The weather man from the news channel would always warn us for more rain and I would look up at the sky hoping to see the clouds go away. For the last few weeks, it started to get a little warm and I was loving it.
