Love Angel Food Cake but dread the thought of what to do with 12 or more left over egg yolks? Yah me too! I’ve only made one angel food cake ever for that very reason! But, as I passed the egg section at Publix the other day, seeing the cartons of liquid pasteurized egg whites […]

This is a simple muffin modified from banana muffin. My first experience with muffins was when we were in UK, it my earlier days there. After a tired long day walk in a big shopping mall (Oracle), we went and sat down for some coffee in bb’s, I think I remember the name right. My […]

Multigrain Atta is nothing but atta with 7 grains like wheat, oats, chana dhal, barley, ragi, maize and soya. You can find this atta in any Asian grocery store, if not you can go for normal atta or all purpose flours. Also instead of sugar, I have used jaggery which is nothing but unrefined cane […]

This time Daring Baker’s are challenged to make Baklava with their own home made phyllo sheets, that’s quite challenging isn’t. As we know Baklava is purely a Mediterranean delight made with layers of phyllo pastry and assortment of nuts, soaked in cinnamon honey syrup. I tweaked the recipe a bit and made an Indianized filling […]

(originally published March 2010) If you like lemon, then this is the cake for you! This is an adaptation of the Ultra Orange Cake that I frequently make.  It is a vegan cake, so it uses a combination of citrus juice, vinegar and baking soda for its leavening. I love the orange version, and wondered […]

Among all the cheese, Ricotta cheese is the one I love the best especially when it comes to sweet. I believe that ricotta cheese have some wonderful flavours, when it marries with tangy orange flavour in a cake form, it’s a bliss. You’ll definitely enjoy this with your afternoon tea. Special Instructions: Preparation Time: 10 […]

This gelato was inspired by our neighbors, Sara & Paul, and their wonderful mint juleps that they make for the Derby.  Their recipe is a little nontraditional, as it calls for lemon, but I like their version even better than then typical Mint Julep drink. I love to make gelato.  It’s healthier than ice cream […]

There are times when I need a break from chocolate chip cookies. Call me crazy, OK, I’m crazy. As I’ve been looking out in cookieland this week during National Cookie Week I’ve seen a lot of great chocolate options, but I’ve decided to provide yet another no-chocolate cookie. It is chock full of tasty bits […]

We loved this cake! It’s special because it is a layered cake, EGGLESS, no butter and still deeply decadent and ‘chocolaty’ moist! From the original site: Yet this one is special because it is a layered cake, eggless, no butter and chocolaty moist! I filled it with a balsamic strawberry and cream filling, and slathered […]

My mother remembers my grandmother making these, and I remember making them with my mom for easter. They are a great fun project to with the kids… or an interesting addition to an easter brunch spread! I originally published this last year, but I figured it would be fun to share again with our new […]

A few weeks ago we had some new friends over for dinner. I needed a quick dessert I could assemble while they were over and so I came up with this idea. My favorite part about them is that they are individual sized so they are good for portion control! You can even make the […]

Foodwhirl fave Mădălina of Duhlicious has these gorgeous red velvet crêpes.  Just … uh… wow!  I could see these as a super romantic dessert for someone extra special…. or a decadent breakfast! Mădălina says:  I rolled my eyes at the red velvet cake trend, but now I can’t get enough. I’ll make any excuse to […]

This dish is refreshing and delightful. A fresh sweet bite of summer with the flavors of lemon and a hint of my secret ingredient- balsamic vinegar! Easy to do and can be made of ahead of time and assembled when need be. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, teas or dessert. From the original site: I can’t […]

This cake holds so many memories for me.  As a child, we made a version of this every year at Easter.  What I love about it is the simplicity of the design – even a child can pull this off.  You don’t have to be a professional to make this simple little bunny shaped cake, […]

(yes, I know Pi Day was yesterday) My brother:  “It’s Pi Day, why don’t you have a pie on Foodwhirl?” Me:  “Ummm, I haven’t made a pie lately?” My brother: “But… It’s Pi Day.  You need pie.” Me: “Well, make me a pie and I’ll put it up on Foodwhirl, tomorrow” My brother:  “OK.” Click […]

Here is just a fun recipe for Sweet Treats.  It’s authentically Peruvian, easy to make, and I have yet to find a person who doesn’t love it. Just thought I’d […]

Editor’s Note: this was originally published for last year, but I thought it would be fun to see again! For the last few years, the hubby and I have spent Valentine’s Day with our good friends Grieg and Dennis for dinner and a movie.  This year, Grieg came up with the idea to make your […]

Wendy at Wisdom of the Moon claims this is the best bread pudding ever… And who are we to disagree–Although we’d like to point you to one of ours, too: Irish Car Bomb Bread Pudding from Niki! (Got one you think is just as good?  Leave a comment!) I do have to admit, this looks […]

As a kid, one of my favorite Christmas traditions (well, besides Santa & presents, and all that!) was that we could eat whatever we wanted to for breakfast Christmas morning.  I would have a slice of my grandmother’s sour cream poundcake.  It’s perfect just as is, and needs no icing or adornments.  I haven’t made […]
