Zebra Cake

The first time I saw this cake being made was in a Loraine Pascale's cooking show. I  never realized it was such an easy recipe. The boys love to make this with me although the finished result isn't as neat but still has the wow effect. I love slicing into the cake and taking the first slice and still get excited when I see the dark brown and white lines.

How to make a printable recipe card - Great tool for food and recipe blogs"

I have been a food blogger for almost years. Over the years I  have often wondered why I haven't used a neat recipe card like I have seen in most blogs. For one reason I couldn't find one on blogger. So I tried to use WordPress and it became a big dead end to me so I decided to just stick with blogger. Then I came across Recipes Generator.

Spiced Plum Pavlova

I love making pavlovas and  I love the reaction I get every time  I make one especially to someone who has never eaten one. Last Ramadhan I started taking orders for pavlovas because  I felt not everyone likes cake and its the kind of dessert that really puts a smile on your face.

Chicken and Butternut Squash Lasagne

I met Rebecca from Chow and Chatter back when I first started blogging and did my first guest post for her.  We seem to share quite a lot of similarities,  both of us are married to doctors and our kids are the same ages.  She is such a lovely and sweet person and I love her Instagram stories and her travel stories as well.

Plum And Pear Crumble

I love crumbles. They are easy to make and you can make it healthier by adding oats and nuts to the topping. Then there is the fruit stewing in the bottom and served warm with custard its absolute yumm. On my last visit to the market, I bought these beautiful plums. Plums are quite expensive here in the Maldives, so to make the most of it I used it along with a pear to make this delicious crumble.

Chicken Meatballs In Spiced Pumpkin Curry Sauce

When we first started receiving cable tv, my mum and I loved watching this Indian cooking show called Cook it up with  Tarla Dalal. This was somewhere in the late 90s I think. I grew up watching Hindi movies so can understand the language while my mum doesn't so I was also the translator, hahaha. Even though most of her recipes are vegetarian I love her recipes. I even subscribed to her magazine.

Kangkung Beef With Spagetti

  I know I know I haven't posted a recipe for a while. Been busy, both kids had science projects for their school annual science fair so was busy helping them out with it. Had a really incredible cooking session with fellow blogger Selina of Taste Mauritius. Selina was in the Maldives for a couple of days and wanted to learn some local recipes. So invited her over on a Friday morning and had a blast.

Carrot Pirinee

It's Eid again. A very rainy one too. We celebrate two Eid. The first one Eid-ul-Fitr is celebrated after the fasting month of Ramadhan. Now its Eid ul Adha, which is the eid that is celebrated after the day of Hajj.  For this Eid, we are heading to the islands to celebrate. Its the first time I am heading to an island to eid so am pretty excited about it. But before I head off I wanted to share a dessert recipe I discovered last year. I learned this in Lh. Naifaru, when we visited my husband's relatives in that island.

Sausage And Potato Stir Fry

This is a recipe filled with happy childhood memories.  Sausages were scarce when growing up and it was something of a luxury.  My father was always busy working in the hospital but if he ever gets the chance to purchase some sausages he would sometimes cook them himself. This is one recipe I remember being made.

Tres Leches Cake

During the Ramadhan month, I had a few readers asking me for various recipes. Just recently I had a request for the recipe of this cake.  I have heard of this particular cake but never tried to make it.
Tres Leches cake is a  cake soaked in three kinds of milk product. Hence the name Tres Leches cake, meaning three milk cake.

Tuna and Leek Puffs

First , sorry for being under the radar for a while. Have been working on a project of mine, which I am praying succeeds by next year insha allah and I will be able to share it with you all. 😉
So My mum  discovered puff pastry, and life has made it so much easier for her. So now and then she would buy puff pastry puffs and make some pastries for her dinner. Her dinner usually circulates around the house as she has a habit of making a lot and sending them over to my sisters and I.  Anyway she makes these tuna puffs  with sauteed onions and scotch bonnet peppers . My version had leeks, I think leeks and tuna go well together and of course scotch bonnet, although unlike my mum's version I use less.
