healthy vegetarian cooking
Hello! The line “I’m finally back after a long break” seems to be my opening line for every post in the last few months. A new kitchen, a big oven, nurturing my own little vegetable patch and still I am looking for the inspiration to be blogging regularly. Last month, Aparna was in Bangalore and som
This was in October and I can be so procrastinating at times. Read the entire story on the Femina website. Many thanks to Rajani Mani for this, and she has a gorgeous food blog herself! Check it out.
Updated: 3rd Jan 2010 This is a useful list for foodies who are new to Hyderabad, like I was a year ago.

She says in the preface that most of her recipes have the Uttar Pradesh influence, and I quite like that.

That is not me trying to blow my own trumpet 🙂 but it’s what I’ve been busy cleaning over almost the last 3 months
There are some recipes that escape even a voracious cook – and for me Biryani has been one of them. In most friends’ house parties this is one dish that unfailingly features as the main course – a pot of vegetable biryani for the non meat eaters and a mutton biryani for the others.

While I am deciding what to do with the pears for A Fruit a Month, hosted by my friend Raaga of The Singing Chef, here are a couple of varieties we’ve enjoyed eating – the brown organic pears, apart from the crisp Indian pears and the Chinese variety
