Thin Dosa and Coconut Chutney with crisp edges and a soft centre bring a gentle tang, cooked fresh for a traditional South Indian pairing.
PASSION FRUIT & COCONUT CRÈME BRULÉE
Crème brulée is one my favourite desserts. I love to break the thick and bittersweet caramel crust to find the silky sweet cream underneath. I love contrasting flavours and textures in food as you find that they all melt together when you savour them giving you ONE distinctive taste. It is a bit like all…
Lamingtons
Tender sponge squares dipped in chocolate icing and rolled in coconut, with a soft crumb and rich coating make Lamingtons a classic tea time favourite.
COCONUT-CHOCOLATE CHIP SHORTBREAD COOKIES – THE SECRET RECIPE CLUB
It is time again for the “Secret recipe club” reveal! I am sure you all know what the club is about, but for the few of you who still don’t know about it, here goes a brief explanation. It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a…
CURRIED CARROT AND COCONUT SOUP
Today I want to share with you the recipe for a delicious, easy yet elegant soup. The other day I found myself with some left-over coconut cream. My first thought was: I am going to make coconut ice cream with it. Then I thought again… and even though I love coconut ice cream, I felt…
BEEF RENDANG
When I saw this recipe at Not Quite Nigella’s website I knew I HAD to make it. It looked too good not to try it! So I made it and then I made it again, and again and… you got it… again! It is now officially a recurrent dish in my house and one of…
APPAM AND AMBOTIK
Mary, who writes the delicious blog, Mary Mary Culinary was our August Daring Cooks’ host. Mary chose to show us how delicious South Indian cuisine is! She challenged us to make Appam and another South Indian/Sri Lankan dish to go with the warm flat bread. When I saw this month’s challenge I got really excited: after…
ANZAC BISCUITS
This is definitely not an Italian recipe. It is as Aussie as it gets. But then… I am Australian too! I found this recipe on ninemsn.com.au last year and loved it. These biscuits are traditionally baked for the 25th of April. This date is very special for me: for similar reasons, both Italy and Australia…
BEIJINHOS DE COCO – COCONUT KISSES
This is not an Italian recipe. It is a Brazilian coconut sweet usually served during birthday parties. My husband ate this at work as one of his ex colleagues was Brazilian and brought it to share with all the co-workers… and as always when my husband likes some food, he asks me to replicate it….
CHOCOLATE AND COCONUT TARTELETTES
Last year I was looking for a good chocolate tart recipe and I came across this Rich Chocolate Coconut Tart. The moment I saw it, I knew I had to try it even though the shell worried me… it looked so hard to make and so delicate. Instead it was really easy to make, so…
QUICK COCONUT CREME BRULEE – CREME BRULEE VELOCE AL COCCO
I love all sweets with a sugar crusty top… whenever I am in Spain, I always go for a Crema Catalana and in France I must eat Crème Brulée at least once! This is my version of a very quick crème brulée-style dessert. It is one of those dishes that I came up with not…
