As we are drawing close to the end of year 2016, I cannot stop but think where did this year go? On personal front, many targets were met while some still need attention and more effort, same goes with the professional aspect. But isn’t that human nature? To swing between two extremes, getting done and not done. The key however is to pickup, don’t look back, whats done is done and chase while keeping an eye on the target. As they say “Dreams don’s work until you do.” So let’s keep positive and enter into the new year with some zeal praying for world’s peace our own sanity. Oh and by the way, did you find the two parts (here and here) of the “Chase your dream” series useful? Thoughts? Please be kind and generous 😉

For now let’s take on our dreamer Shazia, whose first guest post was very well taken. Thank you guys from both of us. She is back with another super quick recipe, which this blog was missing for a long time so over to Shazia.

Did you know that people first grew carrots as medicine and not food? To treat variety of ailments. Now this fact is enough to prove the significance of this vegetable.

But I am pretty confident that there are two kinds of people in this world. They either love carrots or they distaste them. Same applies to kids who are picky eaters. They simply don’t like to see that orange thing in their plates. Though a food rich in antioxidants which benefits your skin and eyes cannot be ignored completely, can it?img_2046

This root vegetable needs no cooking but only for those set of people who like to munch on them without complaints. And for those who do not entertain this bright colored vegetable, I have one great mouth-watering recipe which will make you fall in love with this vitamin A rich food.img_2036

Is it a salad made of carrots ? Is it a carrot soup? Is it carrot juice ? Or the simplest yet the tastiest option, a carrot cake? Yes. You got that right. I am talking about a tantalizing carrot cake which is out of this world if I may say so, takes less than 15 minutes to prepare and only 30 minutes to bake. A great dessert to try when you are hosting a breakfast party or a high tea or even a picnic. My mouth is salivating already. Let me get started without further dawdling. And with cream cheese frosting, it just gets to another level. Easy carrot cake recipe video

I first had chocolate truffles in USA which were I I first had chocolate truffles in USA which were I guess from Tiffany.

Since then I was always intrigued by how they were made.

The delish chocolate bites are easier to make than other varieties like bonbons.

A luscious chocolate ganache is prepared which is then divided into bite size pieces either by piping or scooping, dipped in tempered chocolate and rolled in cocoa powder.

Do you like truffles and have you ever tried making at home?

The brand I use the most is beryl's chocolate.(sw The brand I use the most is  beryl's chocolate.(swipe to see the packaging)

It's a Malaysian brand and I find it pretty easily here from @moltaqa.alkhabbazeen as well as in Pakistan from empress market karachi.(not sure about the current status,  will.update when I go in summers)

If you ask me one chocolate you should buy go for this brands 62% one either in coins or blocks. Coins are just easier to use. The 1.5 kg bag or 2 kg block is more than enough and has good price point. 

Therir 41% milk chocolate is great as well nut not recommended for baking. 

I use it for ganache, brownies, icecream, chocolate chip cookies, mousse and mousse cakes and in general great for dipping, coating etc.

I use milk chocolate 28% white one inky for white chocolate mousse or sometimes in cookies.

I use compound chocolate for chocolate decorations or making cake pops or cakesicles.
This also comes in block and small chocolate chips both are fine.

The other brands I have tried 
arabesque (belgium) 58%
@patissierchocolate (singapore) 61% ,41%

@callebautchocolate ( so popular, slightly overrated, difficult to get, available for bull orders)

dawn chocolate - good quality but i find it very sweet

All these brands are available in the above shops.
