Welcome to My Kitchen

I started cooking 12 years ago, and every day has been a new experience. You might not believe it but i was a person who could not fry an egg...but 12 years on..i feel i can take on any challenge.

I'm constantly trying out new recipes and looking for innovative ways to improvise my dishes and make it more easier. The easier the cooking gets and the less time it takes the more time for me to relax with my loved one.
But easy and quick does not mean compromise on taste or the way a dish is presented. I take great pride in decorating my dishes as i am a firm believer of ' The first impression counts'.

I decided to start this blog to help others like me discover that cooking a feast does not require slogging for hours in the kitchen all it requires is the right ingredients, tools and a creative mind and voila! you will have your family and guests begging for second helpings....

My inspiration for cooking has always been my husband...he loves his food..and like the saying goes 'A way to a man's heart is through his stomach'..i can confidently say it's true and it works wonders for a happy relationship...but he is also my best critic and competition.

I've got two little girls both who love to eat, and my eldest always enjoys helping me in the kitchen. I will try to post more kid friendly recipes that can be fun to eat and make together.

Hope you enjoy this blog and find it useful...please do feel free to leave any feedback or comments...remember there's always room for improvement!!!

Choco Swiss Bomb

A divine dessert recipe, easy to prepare using shop bought ingredients and will definitely impress your guests...



Ingredients:


1 Chocolate Swiss Roll cake
Rum to brush on to the cake (you can substitute it with any other alcohol of choice)
1-2 litres of chocolate ice cream ( or ice cream of your choice) softened, but still frozen






Method:


1. Line the inside of a medium bowl with clingfilm, keep extra clingfilm hanging over the sides.


2. Cut the Swiss roll into 1cm slices. Place one slice in the middle of the bowl to form a base, then place another close to it, continue until the entire bowl is lined with cake. Cut half slices when you reach the top if it does not fit.


3. Brush the cake with rum. Spoon the ice cream into the bowl, covering the entire cavity,


4. Place in the cake in the freezer overnight or until completely set.


5. To serve, remove the bowl from the freezer, using warm hands rub the sides of the bowl to loosen the cake. Place a large serving plate on top of the bowl and turn the bowl, tug on the clingfilm if needed. Carefully remove the bowl and peel off the clingfilm.
