This is my first attempt on desserts that are -basically, Healthy..

In this case healthy refers to desserts that is:

  • Low calorie
  • Diabetic-friendly
  • Low Cholesterol
  • Lactose free
  • Egg-free
  • Vegetarian-friendly

So here it is:

Honey-Soy Pannacotta with Summer Berries Coulis and Earl Grey Tea Jelly

turns out pretty well, though doesnt taste as comforting as a regular cream pannacotta, the dessert has a pretty amazing flavor combination and also the balances through the sweetness that comes naturally from all the components.

being a non-believer in healthy desserts, i might have just been converted :)

Mozaic: French Cuisine, Balinese Flavours

Bali-based American Chef Chris Salans launched his cookbook earlier this month. being one of his biggest admirer, i happened to come across his book at Singapore’s Kinokuniya earlier and take a good look across it.

And as always, i got my mind blown away.

(i reckon i need to save up some cash to get this one up on my collection, but maybe getting one from the restaurant would be a great idea as to have it signed by Chef Salans himself)

and here’s a short write-up on it by my friend Jack Daniels (yes, great name isnt it?) on Bali Discovery : http://www.balidiscovery.com/messages/message.asp?Id=7458
