Okay, I know that Valentine’s day is coming up, and maybe you guys out there are trying to think of what to buy your special lady friend. Here’s a hint: she wants some chocolate. Even if she says she doesn’t,
A dark, rich, moist chocolate cupcake filled with luscious pastry cream and topped with whipped chocolate ganache. I dressed them up for St. Patrick's Day, but these decadent cupcakes would be perfect any time of year.
We've created a Pan-Asian version of the classic breakfast sandwich by combining lop chong sausage with nutty rice cakes and the ever-essential fried eggs.
Continuing on the theme of the delicious southwest flavors, please let me introduce to you my new favorite salad. Oh, this salad. I could wax poetic about it’s lovely qualities. But I won’t. Lucky for you.
The classic combination of meringue and strawberries gets a new twist in this recipe. Pistachios and brown sugar add a depth of flavor to the meringue, rose water perfumes the whipped cream and mascarpone filling, and everything comes together to highlight the luscious taste of ripe strawberries. This recipe was originally inspired by Nigella Lawson's Gooey Chocolate Stack. Summer, and leftover ingredients from a recent tryst with kheer (Indian rice pudding) inspired this version. You can locate pistachios and rose water at any Indian or Middle-Eastern store; if not, I'm sure the combination of almonds and pure vanilla would be equally delightful. This delicious dessert also happens to be gluten-free. - Heena
