Welcome to My Kitchen

I started cooking 20 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 20 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!!!

Ferrero Rocher, Nutella & Oreo Cheesecake

A friend of mine prepared this, so I decided to give my own twist. Tried it last weekend and it was a success. Easy and simple but very delicious..



Ingredients:

2 packets Oreo cookies (200gms)
80 gms unsalted butter
300ml double cream
250gms nutella
400gms full fat Philadelphia cheese
2tsp gelatin dissolved in cold water
12-14 Ferrero Rocher chocolate (few for décor and rest crushed)


Method;

1. You will need an 8inch spring foam tin lightly greased. Crush the Oreo cookies , add melted butter and mix well. Press this mixture over the base of tin evenly. Refrigerate. (I made this the previous night.)

2. In a mixing bowl, beat the cheese until smooth, Mix in the nutella.

3. In a separate bowl whisk the cream until peaks are formed. Lightly fold this into the cheese mixture.

4. Add the gelatin and crushed Ferrero chocolate. Gently mix, don't over mix as you want the cheesecake to be light.

5. Pour mix over the biscuit base, refrigerate until set or overnight.

6. Decorate with Ferrero chocolate and sprinkles...Enjoy!
