healthy vegetarian cooking
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
“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
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
“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…
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.

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
I was looking for something blow-your-socks off sinful to make this Diwali to take to a friends’ place tonight and also for the kids in my complex for the Diwali Party. And thank you, Pinterest, for leading me to the right place. I found this piece of awesomeness on this blog and one look at her pi
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.

A recipe for a Yogurt and Berry Tart to commemorate Julia Child’s 100th birthday. A deliciously different tart with a yogurt filling and oatmeal crust.
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,
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
