CASSATA ICECREAM with EGGLESS CAKE

February 12, 2015 By Asha Shivakumar

I am immensely grateful for the chaos that happens when you have two boys who keep everyone busy around here. Our Valentine’s Day is spent with the baby bears, which gives them ultimate contentment. Everyday is a special day when we are with our loved ones, right? That said, I do like to make something special on the 14th. It’s a quiet day, with just the four of us.

This layered ice cream, with a crunch and some cushiony cake in between, is quite special. This dessert has a story, and I always love making this one at home.

All the Glassware and the beautiful Tray is from Z Gallerie. You can get everything here on www.zgallerie.com.

Spicy Mango Masala Chicken

There are lot of words to describe food and 3 words for this chicken, ‘FINGER LICKING YUMMY’.

This recipe was definitely an accident, a happy yummy accident.

A few years ago, I had some mango puree sitting in the fridge after the mango lassi I made yesterday. I could never eat the norm, had some chicken drummets too. Mango chicken, why not right? Sounded great. After making a quick sauce and cooking the chicken, I gave it a try, and it as pure deliciousness. Definitely reminded me of something I ate years ago….

There are so many grains that some of us have no clue about, but if I can speak for all, Quinoa is not one of them. Popular among the gluten free population, it’s a grain which looks simple and humble to being cute once cooked. Packed with antioxidants and filled with fiber, these tiny grains gives a new meaning for power punch. If you want to learn about some new grains check out this LIST, it’s interesting.

PINA COLADA Parfait with Mangoes

May 20, 2013 By Asha Shivakumar

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

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.
