The husband and I make it a point to take one domestic & international vacation a year, minimum. So this year, we decided to go somewhere we’ve never been before. Yes, we took the Dalai Lama’s words seriously & headed to a part of the country we’ve not seen earlier – Himachal. We’d both seen […]
Seafood, made homestyle!
One of the things that you realise as life goes by, another way of saying ‘as you grow up’, is that in times of comfort you always turn to the familiar. This could be a person, a blanket, a book or even food, like in this case, something that hugs you right back! I’ve experimented […]
Gluten-free goodness
A lot of people say that brownies are super easy to bake but, this is one thing that I’ve not been able to grasp. Somehow that perfect recipe seems to elude me. I’ve tried so many versions! With cocoa powder, check. With melted chocolate, check. With white butter, check. With olive oil, check. With all-purpose […]
Food that touches your heart
Given the kind of stress-filled lives we live it’s so important to stop, take a breath, look around & lend a helping hand. Sometimes I feel that we are so blessed, that we are able to make a difference to the lives of others, it doesn’t always have to be with money, but small gestures […]
Fully loaded
I don’t need to say much about how much I believe in the importance of a good breakfast. If you’ve been following me for long enough, then you’d know it all! But with a new kind of consciousness setting in, the one about being mindful about what we eat, eating right & just revelling in […]
A new treat from an old favourite
Just look around you, you will agree with me when I say that, food products are just flooding the market, and right at the top of the list are the health or seemingly healthy ones. So when Mondelez decided to host a Blogger Meet to introduce their new product – Cadbury Silk Oreo, I knew […]
A kheer that Bugs Bunny would devour
While those gorgeous red carrots, popularly known as Delhi carrots, are in season you need to make this kheer! It’s my grandmum’s recipe, used to be one of her signature dishes, and while I’m not much of a kheer person I do have fond memories of this dish; especially because she would pour the cooled […]
A cup of coffee, anyone?
Pannacotta is one of my favourite desserts to make. It ticks all the boxes – easy, simple and delicious. I love how you can use one basic recipe and keep adding things to it to give it a whole new persona. I’ve made so many different versions of this, I don’t have a favourite as […]
An experiment done right!
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a recipe for a cake. Not that I haven’t been baking them but, there’s so much happening! The husband and I are back from our holiday, which was oh-so-good, I don’t want to say too much about it here because I’ll only veer away from the subject. So, […]
Sweet something for the festival
Diwali’s here! Well, almost. Of course, it’s the season of lights, joy and everything happy. Okay, quick reality check, it’s also the season when you unintentionally end up putting on weight. Tell me, who can resist all those yummy goodies? I know, I know it’s hard to say no to all that deliciousness and if […]
