  2. Omg! The red velvet cake is to die for, that beautiful red layers of decadence and cream cheese filling looks extremly beautiful and easy to make. Valentines day is coming up and I will definately know what I’m going to bake for my hubby instead of the usual chocolate cake, as he is in love with Red velvet. Yudhika definately knows how to make simple and yummy foods and she uses stuff that everybody always has in their kitchens. I look forward to viewing every single one of her fourthcoming shows. One talented chick. An inspiration to us indian woman who are becoming more westernised but still trying to keep our tradition #role model

  3. CAKE………..the food of love! so on my Valentines menu this 2013, Sugar n Spice Red Velvet cake is a “must have” . Yudhika’s step by step instructions should make this an easy peasy bake….Its gonna be a decadent Velvety Red Valentines !

    1. It sure is an easy peasy bake! There is something very very special about red velvet cake! Maybe its just the bright red cake with that luscious frosting…hope you enjoy it!

  4. Yudhika, i know you are a chef, and have to cook all genres, but as a vegetarian, i really appreciate when someone sneaks in a few veg recipes onto their show. Really loved the mushroom and pea curry recipe. Will give it a bash soon. Hoping to see some eggless sensations on the show too!

  5. Would love to share a recipe from the show, but alas, I don’t have DSTV, or employment right now, but can comment from your recipe book: Curry Me Home – Again… (if I may..) the Lamb Rogan Josh would set my valentine heart a flutter or the Tadka Dhal, followed by morsels of Gulab Jamun, would sure set the tone, but as you say…not too big a portion or else it would ruin the potion :). Thanks for the Curry 911 ‘hotline’. U Rock!!

  6. Hi Yudhika. Love how you make cooking so simple. Ive tried your prawn recipe i watched you cooked at a food show in Jhb. The Red velvet cake looks divine. Would love to have more recipes for vegetarians and soy milk. keep up the awesome shows and broadcast them on SABC too:)

  9. The Thai Prawn Curry recipe that aired on Sugar and Spice seems to be tantalising and do-able. Most recipes on food channels are complicated, expensive and have ingredients that not easily avalible in our local supermarkets. The recipe is simple and affordable. I will definately try this recipe to impress the wife. Thanks

  10. Namaste yudhika, just watched your show and since my husband is vegetarian will definitley try the eggless brownie.

  12. Never have a chance to sit in front of tv in the morning…always busy with kids or in the kitchen…today while having my cup of coffee I sat by the tv and playing with the channels found saffron tv and was so impressed with how easy the recipes you give are to make that when I got up I came straight to the computer to download the receipe for the chocolate brownies… Your show rocks….NOW ON MY VIEWING LIST 🙂

    1. Its a pleasure. Brinjals pair beautifully with lamb and seafoods like prawn and fish! And feta cheese is one of my favourite cheeses….on wraps, sandwiches, pizzas and pilaus.

  21. Hi Yudhika

    Just watched your show! The coriander chicken looks divine & healthy as well. We r trying to eat healthier since my husband underwent heart bypass surgery.

    This recipe seems quick & easy to make.

    Your show is definitely on my favorites list now!!!! Thanks

    1. Hi there,

      For a healthier option, use chicken breast fillets instead of thighs. There is so much info on how to eat heart healthy meals….I have introduced lots of asparagus, broccoli and berries into my menus.

  38. My teen kids love me to bake all the time and the one thing I will do if I win the Spar voucher is shop for all those baking ingredients that Yudhika uses in her recipes. I will probably try your Red Velvet cupcakes. I love all your recipes so difficult to pick, but I know that the cupcakes will go down well with all the friends who also visit my kids. This is so their friends can say ‘ Your mum is so cool’

  45. I must say for me the curry receipes works wonders. They are simple and easy to make, with not much effort. It is a kind of meal you can prepare after a long days work and make the family happy, as if you put so much hard work into making the meal.

You keep the good work of tantalising our taste buds.

  93. Yay, a blog that helps me bake without EGG!! Having a new daughter in law who is allergic to egg and vegetarian has it’s challenges for an unskilled cook but your recipes look so delicious and easy.

    Today I’m trying the Shortbread with pecans and drizzled with lindt chocolate – oh yeah! Love Lindt.. which will go into a jar for a birthday snacks gift. The eggless Chocolate brownies look fantastic and would make a great desert for when she comes over and I’m stuck for good eggless deserts! (I think she’s now sick of Salad and ice cream 🙂

    I’m also looking for gluten free recipes… need to browse through more of your recipes but maybe you can point me in a direction of good gluten free bread?

    I’m new to this blog but what a find, I’m hooked. Thanks so much. Keep them recipes coming….especially the egg free ones.

    Reply

    1. Hi there…

      Welcome to the blog…and delighted to hear from you! Wow..what a lucky daughter in law!

      The recipes are quick and easy – nothing complicated….please give the coconut cupcakes and the cola cake a bash…both eggless…both divine! Also eggless choc brownies…there are also veggie ideas on the blog….

      I have not attempted much in gluten free but I will certainly give it a go and post recipes as and when they are perfected

      Take care and happy cooking!
