Decadent Baklava

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

This Baklava recipe uses the same kind of filo pastry that's used for 'veggie or goat puffs'. It looks like samosa dough but it's crispy, light and flaky- the perfect texture for this rich, honey soaked, nut sprinkled, wildly popular middle eastern dish. It crackles as you bite but almost instantly, it just melts in your mouth.

Eggless Chocolate Cake

Recipe by: Amy Parsons

Reviews(1)

This is a delicious chocolate cake for those who can't have eggs, and even for those who can! It also doesn't have milk products.

This wildly popular traditional Greek 'avegolemono' soup is fantastic for lazy weekend lunches.

Kheer

Recipe by: SRECIPE

Be the first to review it!

This is a popular recipe for kheer, flavoured with cardamon and rose water. Serve warm or cold. Fresh milk, rice and nuts are considered 'satvic' foods in Ayurveda. Satvic foods help balance one's doshas (subtle energies), nourish the body, the mind and ultimately, pave the way for one's spiritual evolution.

Lemon Cake Filling

Recipe by: Elaine

Be the first to review it!

Use this fresh, lemon-y filling to decorate your next sponge cake. Works great as a filling for traditional lemon squares or piped into a cake sliced into half.

Mango Cake

Recipe by: Jacqui

Be the first to review it!

How about using those ripe mangoes for a nice tea time cake? If you don't have buttermilk, you may substitute sour milk. Just stir 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice together with 1 cup of milk and let stand for 10 minutes.

North Indian Masala Chai

Recipe by: Priyanka

Be the first to review it!

Is there a home in India that doesn't start its morning with a steaming cup of kadak chai? Or have it after dopeher ka siesta? This is my mother's recipe for masala chai. You can easily multiply the ingredients to make your monthly stash. Masala Chai goes great with paranthas, aloo tikki, samose or mithai. The peppercorns and cinnamon are great for the throat and stomach.
