Hiatus!

I’ll be back I promise! Exams got the Better of me, but hey, it’ll take a lot more to keep me out of the kitchen.
And even more to keep me from satiating my palate for good food! (:

The World Waits For Nobody.

Pardon my long absence, i’ve been busy preparing for an exam and haven’t had the time for a proper update. but that doesnt mean the kitchen has been long forgotten! in fact, i’ll show you a sneak preview of what’s been cooking!

Granny Smith Apple Muffins

Made applesauce a couple of days with intentions to make an apple tea cake but with the current workload and the lack of time, baking doesn’t seem to be a feasible act at all. Well, that was until I inspired by some muffin recipes I’ve been reading from somewhere. And after a few mish-mash and tweaks, here’s what I came up with-

Granny Smith Apple Muffins

The banana bread so dense that it made greek yogurt look weak.

(Non- Bake) Mango/ Peach Mousse Cake ( Japanese Cheesecake Base)

I know I promised recipe for this Mango/Peach Mousse Cheesecake about ” ten years ” ago but school got so hectic of the late that everything has to be put on hiatus. But no worries, I’m back in the kitchen ( & with a failed banana bread :/ ).

I baked this for my friend’s birthday. The last time we spoke, he mentioned how our desserts are always so sinful and it’ll be great if we should throw in a tad bit of fruits for health-sake pretense. A couple of friends were already making american cheesecake and sticky date pudding ( both oh – so – delightful!) so i thought something fruity (albeit the amount of cream cheese that went into this) would be a good palate change.
