Pumpkin Peda/Truffles
It’s Diwali today and I am feeling a little homesick. Not that we had lavish celebrations for Diwali but it was still a great time to decorate with lit oil lamps, light fireworks with friends, get gifts and eat tons of deliciously rich food. Now that I live in the U.S., I do not get to celebrate Diwali that often but every now and then I try to recreate as much as I can of this wonderful festival of lights. Spe…
Chocolate Quark Mousse Tarts
What is life without inspiration? These Chocolate Quark Mousse Tarts in Almond Pastry were a result of one such inspiration! From the original site: So yours truly, the ‘queen of substitutes‘, kicked into action, and soon I had some rather delicious tartlet shells and equally delicious filling on hand. The filling was discovered by the ever hungry, prowling dieter in our home. When I told her it was relat…
Apple Brown Sugar Meringue Pies
Apple Brown Sugar Meringue Pies. Each bite was full of warmth … apples, cinnamon, brown sugar, walnuts. I made these for the inaugural issue of BBC GoodFood India. From the original site: For my feature in the magazine, I decided to go with apples since they spell the essence of the season for me. I made these little pies, topping them with brown sugar meringues because I find meringues entirely charming!
Plum Frozen Yogurt
A refreshing and beautifully coloured low fat frozen treat. The addition of vanilla sugar and kirsch give it that special flavour. From the original site: It’s a result of the dieting diva suddenly kicking straight back into dieting mode after lying low for a month! That gave me reason enough to reach out for the last of the late summer stone fruit I had frozen in the beginning of September. The colour that th…
Roasted Peach & Plum Ice Cream
A delicious, low cal ice cream. I love the depth of flavour that roasting fruit gets. Add a vanilla bean and it gets addictive. From the original site: This is one of those recipes lurking in my folder, adapted from a breathtakingly delicious looking post on Sips and Spoonfuls, devoured, yet for some reason it went ‘unblogged’! This eggless Roasted Peach & Plum Ice Cream made with condensed milk hit a ni…
Leche Poleada with Empanada Dippers
This is my new twist on a traditional Salvadoran food, empanadas made out of plantains (empanadas de platano). In El Salvador, empanadas de platano are usually eaten coated with sugar. In this recipe I make a vanilla egg custard (leche poleada) that I use to both dip the empanadas into, as well as to fill them with. I serve the pudding and the empanadas in a martini glass for some extra flare! These are not your…

Pflaumenkuchen with Ricotta
My twist to the Pflaumenkuchen, with some ricotta added to it as topping.A dusting sugar & drizzle of cream completes the magic! From the original site: My very last stash of plums found their way into this yeasted dough German Plum Cake {Pflaumenkuchen}. Twitter seems to have taken over as the menu planner for me and PAB! Such is the power of this addictive and inspiring social networking site that I of…

Creamy Caramel Bars
A perfectly easy dessert for the caramel lover! From the original site: Salt and caramel. Could there be a better match made in heaven. I know all of you chocolate and peanut butter lovers are yelling at me right now. I admit it chocolate and peanut butter are right up there with the best combinations, but sometimes you need something a little different. Enter salt and caramel. I fell so in love with this flavo…
Upside Down Mango Quark Cheese Pie
A no bake, low fat quark cheesecake pie {eggless} made with seasonal fruit. It’s satisfying, it’s smooth and it’s delicious. From the original site: Words cannot express the heartbreak we felt on twitter that day. The poignancy of the moment hung heavy. Then there was a call for International Pie Day in honour of Jennifer Perillo. I couldn’t make peanut butter cream pie as I had no peanut butter or cream che…
Vanilla Almond Frangipane Plum Tart
An easy & delicious tart.A crisp base paired with a vanilla almond frangipane and sweetly tart plums! Ground oats in the pastry worked well From the original site: It was one of those obsessive days, a ‘have to bake with plums’ sort of a day! Had a nice bag of pretty plums in the fridge, the last of the stone fruit season here in North India, and I was desperate to bake them into a ‘tart’ of some sort! The plums e…
