I am in a ‘bake’ super zone presently – every cell of my body tells me to create bakes, to fuse, to go with my creative instinct – which I have to say is working overtime – and I can barely keep up with it. Now, I have created a most wondrous bake – after tasting it, I was lost for words !  I merged the flavours of the Middle east with a touch of [...]

This is simply one awesome, sublime, decadent, smooth treat.  Back in the day I used to enjoy my Cadbury’s Fruit & Nut chocolate, and I have always been partial to an occasional truffle.   This creation provides both in one slice.  It’s very rich, and simply too good to be true !  Also easy to make, which makes it even more appealing. INGREDIENTS 200g non-dairy dark chocolate (get a good brand) 1 to 2 Tbsp molasses [...]

This is a wholesome, tender, delicious, simply bursting with flavour, chocolate bread & fruit pudding.  Inspired by memories of my childhood in Malta, where bread pudding was an occasional treat, which I relished.  So here is a veganized and modified creation of this traditional Maltese pudding (known locally as ‘pudina’), with a twist, and a chocolate dance treat for your culinary pleasure.  Enjoy. TIP :  For a decadent touch – serve with homemade cashew cream [...]

I had a mixture of 3 nuts and I wanted to make a flourless cake. I am nuts over nuts, and coconuts too, so here I have combined ingredients to bring you 3 exciting layers of a semi-raw cake, which is very rich in taste, but moreish and enormously chocolaty for that extra choco-kick.  I hope you enjoy it, and my only tip is leave it in the fridge overnight, and place in the freezer [...]

These truffles are inspired by the fantastic response I got to my vegan ‘Bounty’ Bar (http://mouthwateringvegan.com/2012/04/15/bountiful-coconut-chocolate-bar/).  As you may have noticed from my blog, I rather love the combination of chocolate and orange – and coconut.  Did I say I love truffles too ??  Well, these truffles are wonderfully delicious and reek of edge, zest, tanginess and orange dark chocolate – so, you see, it does not get better than this.  Hope you enjoy them [...]

This recipe expresses my deep love of Eastern Cuisine, except that I just follow my heart in the kitchen with the ingredients. It’s not really a brown rice dessert. In fact, I only use short grain white rice, or Italian arborio rice, or even sushi rice, just 2 or 3 times a year – but I can justify using it, as this dessert is really a once or twice a year one – save it [...]
