Easy recipe for a simple, all-purpose chocolate cake

July 6, 2013

What’s the connection between a little black dress, a good pair of blue jeans and a chocolate cake recipe? Like the importance of a good pair of jeans or a little black dress (okay, may be not) in the wardrobe, everyone needs a good, reliable chocolate cake recipe in their cooking repertoire. A choc

Easy Eggless Choco-Vanilla Cookies

May 16, 2013

“If I hear “I’m hungry” one more time, I’m going to check myself into a nearby hotel and switch off my mobile phone!” That’s me telling my four year old, who tells me he’s hungry every 15 minutes and the minute I rustle up something, he conveniently forgets about his hunger and runs off to rebuild

My experiments with baking a basic whole wheat bread (Recipe inside)

March 14, 2013

At the beginning of 2013, I asked for your feedback on my Facebook Page on the kind of things you’d like to see on the blog this year and that I’ll try and incorporate some of your recipe requests. And the one thing that was a popular demand was a healthy loaf of bread. So here’s my attempt to share

Breaking Bread with Pesto Pull Apart Loaf

February 16, 2013

“The smell of good bread baking, like the sound of lightly flowing water, is indescribable in its evocation of innocence and delight… [Breadmaking is] one of those almost hypnotic businesses, like a dance from some ancient ceremony.It leaves you filled with one of the world’s sweetest smells…

February 2, 2013

Ideas lurk everywhere. The other day I was at my son’s classmate’s house after school as the kids wanted to play and I was hanging around in the kitchen with the parents, drinking tea and chatting up. The dad was preparing an early dinner and one of the dishes was a savoury starchy bake using potato

Oreo Brownies – It doesn’t get more sinful than this

December 23, 2012

I’m not a fan of Oreo cookies at all. I once even tweeted that they taste like sweetened cardboard and I found a lot of people agreeing with my sentiment. For me, the best cream biscuit will always be Britannia Bourbon. It was my favourite treat as a kid, we waited for someone to get it home as it

Chai Spiced Mini Pumpkin Mini Bundts with glaze – #bundtamonth

November 13, 2012

This Diwali, I didn’t get down to making any of the traditional goodies. And I managed to find a valid excuse. Being down with the worst cough episode of the year during the festive season is such a dampener. But when loving neighbours get you home-made goodies, you can’t help but muster some enthus

My Diwali Gift to you : Triple Decker Brownies

Crustless Quiche using homegrown Swiss Chard

August 20, 2012

Crustless Chard Quiche There’s something wonderful about quiches, they fit perfectly as a meal for any time of the day – be it breakfast, lunch or dinner. The only thing that probably deters people from making this is the mess (well, a little) of making and blind baking the crust and the quantity of

Bread baking tales and recipe for cinnamon rolls

August 12, 2012

The high point of July was this artisan bread-baking workshop most generously organised by Breadworks Boulangerie. We were hand held (literally) through this process of bread kneading, shaping and baking by master artisan baker, Maurice Chaplais from UK. It was so much fun messing around with flour,

Insanely Good Chocolate Almond Brownies

June 4, 2012

These brownies were baked twice over the weekend. These are the sort that make people have a bite and go ‘swooooon’ or fall in love with you, or both. If you’ve been a follower of my blog, you know that I rarely use superlatives. I had blogged another simple brownie recipe a few years ago and I call
