Tender Coconut Smoothie With Choco Topping
This recipe is an invention. Tender coconut is a source of several essential nutritional supplements. In this recipe I use the milk and pulpy part of the tender coconut. The cardamom gives a special fragrance to the smoothie. It is smooth, tasty and yummy!
Super Easy Coconut Balls
Tastes like a candy; almost acts like a health food. Can be made in a single bowl and the only cooking is done in a microwave for less than a minute. Endlessly variable, since you can use different nuts, different kinds of chocolate, and different flavoring for the powdered sugar dusting. Versatile too, since they're equally good as an afternoon snack or a postprandial treat with coffee and whatever else you're drinking. They also store well. Here's my original concoction, inspired by a chocolate covered raisin cluster recipe I saw in an "extra feature" on the DVD of Cinema Paradiso. This is scarcely a recipe and more of a concept, but a nearly foolproof one, despite the sketchy quantities.
Thai Sticky Rice with Tropical Fruit
A simple, creamy coconut milk pudding that is a traditional Thai dessert. Yes, it is cooked in the microwave, but this gives the rice its perfectly al dente, shiny, and sticky quality that you are aiming for. The palm sugar is interchangeable with other sugars, and choose your favorite tropical fruit to accompany the rice. However, the Thai sticky rice is essential! Another sticky rice will do (I've used black sticky rice), but you can't beat the Thai stuff.
Chocolate-Crusted Banana Blondies
A buttery chocolate crust and a rum-scented, banana-imbued butterscotch blondie form two distinct layers that harmonize with every bite. The contrast between crunchy bottom and chewy topping is the whole point of the exercise.
Annette's Corn Flake Marshmallow Wreaths
Growing up, my friend's mom, Annette, would make these cookies at Christmas. We had no problem eating an entire batch in one sitting. I recommend making multiple batches, but not doubling the recipe, because you need to form the wreaths while the mixture is hot.
Flapjacks
Rice Pudding With Golden Raisins
Forget egg yolks and water baths. This is a simple and superb rice pudding that uses only milk, sugar, cream, rice, salt and your choice of flavorings: rum, almond extract, vanilla, orange zest, cardamom, nutmeg, anything else you can dream up. Add the raisins at the end so they don’t get too mushy as the pudding cooks.
Vegan Strawberry Cream Pie
This is a melt in the mouth, creamy strawberry cream pie. Suitable for any occasion but especially afternoon tea. I used a tin of coconut cream which is gorgeous and organic. I got my cream from Celebes http://www.coconutty.co.uk/coconut-cream-p-128.html

Haroseth Truffles
This recipe takes a traditional Passover treat, and gives it a little twist. Here, dried fruit and nuts are chopped in a food processor, flavored with cinnamon and moistened with a bit of pomegranate juice for a Sephardic version of the recipe. They’re rolled into balls, and dusted with unsweetened coconut. Feel free to substitute any dried fruit or nuts you’d like.
Strawberry Mousse Cups
Shir Berenj - Persian Rice Pudding
Shir-berenj is the Persian incarnation of rice pudding, that universal comfort food. You can build on this recipe for your own twist on the classic flavor.
Matcha Green Tea Crème Brûlée
I'm a big fan of matcha recipes. I decided to make one of our favorite dessert-Crème Brûlée by adding matcha green tea powder to spice up the taste. Voila!!
Strawberry Pineapple Fool
This is a luscious, creamy dessert with fresh strawberries and sweet pineapple all folded into a whipped cream. This pineapple fool recipe is so tasty!
Fragrant Chai Poached Pears
Pears poached tender in aromatic chai spices with sweet chai syrup and blackberries
Bittersweet Chocolate Mousse With Fleur de Sel
This is an intense, creamy one-ingredient chocolate mousse adapted from the molecular gastronomist Hervé This. The nearly instant recipe contains no cream or eggs, so a complex chocolate can shine. The mousse serves four, and it can be doubled. But even if you’re serving two, don’t be tempted to halve it. More of our favorite Valentine's Day recipes can be found here.
Raw, Vegan, Peanut Butter Cookies
I am terrible at baking because it's way precise...I much prefer savory because it's all to taste and is more forgiving. The best thing about these cookies found here (http://www.ahouseinthehills.com/ahouseinthehills/2013/1/14/raw-vegan-salted-peanut-butter-cookies.html) are that they involve 5 ingredients & can be tweaked and adjusted if you run out of one ingredient or want to make more or less. Plus they take about 5 minutes to make and are raw & vegan & salty.
Iced Tea Granita
What a lovely summer treat! This Tea Granita is so easy to make and has such a refreshing bite. I like that the recipe allows for creativity & personal taste.
Salted Toffee & Brown Butter Crispy Treats
The extra butter is this buttery toffee rice krispie recipe keeps them soft and easy to press into the pan, and did I mention that the butter is browned?
Valrhona's Caramelized White Chocolate
This pale, sweet, arguably boring white chocolate recipe is carmelized with three ingredients with a lot of potential -- sugar, milk, and fatty cocoa butter.
Vegan, Sugar Free Chocolate Persimmon (Cup) Cake
I have been experimenting with a black bean brownie/cookie recipe when I stumbled upon another brownie recipe using sweet potatoes instead of black beans. I had a basketful of persimmons (a family friend has a tree and is ecstatic to unload their harvest on us-- lucky me!), so attempted to replace the baked sweet potato with a somewhat firm persimmon. It didn't come out like I wanted so I opted for an all overly ripe persimmon recipe which makes this chocolate cake recipe very dense.
Mousse au Chocolat
Ok - this is not my recipe. This is pretty much the recipe from the back of plain ol' chocolate bars in France, and honest-to-goodness, it's the one most Parisians use. I swear! It's dead simple to make (the hardest part is remembering to leave the butter out to soften), but it always impresses. My kind of recipe.
