Rose and Almond Cake

8th April 2020 By Urvashi Roe

An easy rose and almond cake which gave me some headspace and time on my own away from the family during this difficult period of Coronavirus lockdown

Pomegranate and Rose Shortbread (Cookies) 

7th April 2018 By Urvashi Roe

I do love a good biscuit don’t you? Having a cup of tea in the afternoon without a biscuit feels rather sad. Usually I send one of the girls across the road to the newsagent to get a packet of Rich Tea. Now that is a good biscuit. But today I wanted something rather different […]

On My Travels : The Valley of Roses and Daggers

16th February 2014 By Urvashi Roe

My trip to Morocco was led by food and our base in Ouarzazate afforded us many day trips in search of traditional dishes and ingredients.  On learning of my interest in food, our host at Dar Daif, Jean Paul, sent us along the Dades Valley in search of dried rose petals and rosewater. Eastwards along […]

Belvoir Rose & Raspberry Cordial

29th June 2013 By Urvashi Roe

All the elderflowers around at the moment have me in the mood for cordial.  Elderflower cordial is a staple on my kitchen shelf – I don’t have cupboards lest I forget what’s in them.  My brand of choice has always been Belvoir. It’s just lusciously syrupy and perfect for baking with.  I used it on […]

Rose and Raspberry Millefeuille

29th June 2013 By Urvashi Roe

I really love millefeuille but I find the shop bought versions and even patisserie versions just far too sweet.  I don’t like the iced topping and I also don’t tend to have time for the steps involved to make these perfect. So here is an easy recipe that you can throw together very quickly.  I’ve […]

Pomegranate Souffle with Rose and Raspberry Cream

10th June 2013 By Urvashi Roe

This is one of Anjum Anand’s recipes kindly shared at the launch of Curry for Change.  A campaign to raise funds for the wonderful Find Your Feet charity. I’ve adapted the method in my own words. I’m not a huge fan of soufflés as I can usually taste over eggy-ness. But there is not one […]

Rose Profiteroles

11th September 2011 By Urvashi Roe

As a university student in Aix-En-Provence, I used to order profiteroles every time I went to one of the posh cafes on the Cours Mirabeau.  I went back there a few summers ago with my daughters and ordered the same thing –  they were hooked!  I get a plea at least once a month to […]

Rose Macaroons

11th September 2011 By Urvashi Roe

I love the flavour of Rose.  I think it’s the ultimate in feminine charm and so was a must make for the Naming Ceremony of my friend whose daughter’s name is India Rose.   I’ve used a simple Rose flavoured buttercream in this recipe because I made some Rose Cupcakes on the same day but […]

Rose Cheesecake

2nd August 2011 By Urvashi Roe

This is a lovely creamy baked cheesecake which is based on an Indian rose flavoured drink called ‘Falooda’.  It’s like a milkshake and knickerbocker glory rolled into one.  Rose flavoured milk, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, jelly chunks and a sprinkling of nuts. I like a thick crumb crust but if you prefer a […]
