I baked this partly whole wheat bread with flaxseeds this week. The only problem with baking your own bread is you can’t stop eating it. The possible upside is that you can slice your bread as thin as you want to 🙂 I can almost see all those of you who bake your own bread nod your heads solemnly.

Crustless Quiche using homegrown Swiss Chard
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
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,
Eggless Savoury Muffins with Sun Dried Tomatoes, Cheese and Olives
It’s vacation time at the play group, which means the little boy, when not up to any nefarious activities, is hanging around the kitchen, making puppy eyes at me, saying “Mummy, I want something to eat”, which is not entirely a bad thing. He likes to eat most (if not all) the stuff I make, showers m

Simplest ever yogurt muffins
Ever** since his famous No Knead Bread, I have been in love with Mark Bittman. Needless to say I was so excited when S got me his ‘How to cook everything vegetarian’ a couple of years ago. That book is an encyclopedia and even for someone who has been cooking vegetarian stuff all these years, I discover new ideas all the time.

On a Sunday morning, these seemed like the perfect things to go with a cup of milk as a light breakfast to precede a heavy lunch
Wacky Banana Cake
