Homemade Fig, Vanilla and Black Pepper Jam
A little cafe surrounded by a kitchen garden – windows with fluttering lace curtains – a big oven on one side – cinnamon, yeast, vanilla scents in the air – sounds of happy chatter – the aroma of fresh coffee brewing – people waiting in anticipation of a simple good time – a cup of good coffee or ch
Eggplant salad with spicy greens – From garden to plate
Brinjal Blooms – I like these more than the vegetable 🙂 There are people you love at first sight and you can’t wait to know them more and spend more time with them. Then there are others who you can’t decide about. But you wouldn’t mind meeting them once in a while. And finally, the third type, wh
Cauliflower Potato Cold Salad with Middle-Eastern Flavours

I can say the same about some of the food blogs 🙂 Rasachandrika, written by Ambabai Samshi is one such cooking bible for Saraswat community – and I was glad to buy it a few months ago – this showcases Chitrapur Saraswat cooking
Karela with kachori masala – Bitter gourd made better
As a child, I didn’t have the choice to avoid any foods. Whatever was made at home, I had to eat – and while at that time I hated the rules, I now realise that thanks to this, I appreciate all kinds of foods today. Bitter gourd was one exception though at that time, where I would have the option to
