Happy BIRTHDAY – Almond Discs(Zimsterne or Marzipani) with Lychee cream

July 14, 2013 By Asha Shivakumar

          Here’s the thing about love.

Cake font



The love I’m talking about is unconditional, just give with open arms, lotsa hugs, kisses and tears kinda love. No, it’s not the crazy giddy love with butterflies buzzing, where you  wait to fall on your face one day but it’s the ‘MY HEART  belongs to  this thing in my arms LOVE’.

My baby is a officially a teen. How appropriate is this dessert which epitomizes him in every way and the cherries on top are there just because.

SORBET – MIXED BERRY SORBET with Coconut syrup- and NO icecream maker

June 17, 2013 By Asha Shivakumar

I was supposed to get a nice body for summer, but there’s a small problem…I like food. – Unknown 

Summer Vacation is here, and aren’t I glad I am a stay at home mum. Waking up after everyone(when I’m lucky, that is) and coming down to a noisy kitchen with dishes all over, refrigerator left open and all for what, to toast up some waffles.  But, I am not about to complain about the petty little things which would have bothered me a while ago. I know my priorities now.. 🙂  Today, I feel good to see the boys manage their breakfast without their mom.

3 Homemade food gifts – PERFECT Hostess gifts

June 12, 2013 By Asha Shivakumar

The manner of giving is worth more than the gift.  ~Pierre Corneille, Le Mentuer

With busy schedules around school year, entertaining can get  a bit stressful. In summer, there’s a lot of free time and it’s time to socialize.  We all need a reason to get together for a cup of coffee or just for a chat.   🙂

The blog keeps me busy, and I finally feel I can give back something and feel rewarded in a way. After all the endless hours browsing and admiring talented people all around, I’ve learnt and created so much along the way. Journey is fun and never ends.

 Gifts from the kitchen are gifts from the heart. I like to make take-home gifts, and although it might be the simplest of things, I have seen my friends liking it a lot.  These are few of the simple gift ideas, and you can customize each one.  You could print a small recipe and attach it so that your friends can try it at home too.

PINA COLADA Parfait with Mangoes

May 20, 2013 By Asha Shivakumar

                               Mango among fruits, pork among meats, tea among leaves.

PINA COLADA Parfait with Mangoes

We are in the midst of  spring with weather acting very moody.  Taste buds getting confused.  It’s hot and I want something cool and quick.  It gets colder and I crave for something baked and goey.  But  one thing remains constant, a want for a quick dessert.  I recently discovered parfaits and it’s many variations.  I’ve combined a lot of different ingredients and this one seems to be my hubby’s favorite.  Although he has an aversion to coconut when not fresh…this one has passed his test.

Orange Chiffon Cake – fresh and light

May 9, 2013 By Asha Shivakumar

If the family were a fruit, it would be an orange, a circle of sections, held together but separable – each segment distinct.  Letty Cottin Pogrebin 


Orange Chiffon Cake
Baking is an obsession and I’m in love with it.  The basic cake is spruced up with freshly squeezed orange juice and  it’s zest.  The freshness of the ingredients make this for a  light and irresistible dessert.  California is famous for their oranges, we find them everywhere.  Backyards are filled with trees blooming with oranges.  I’m one of those fortunate few, with friends who have a green thumb and a big heart to share their produce.  What can I do to thank them, I bake for them:)
