This has to be one of my favourite desserts. It’s not just delicious but also so simple, a five year old can probably make it but really shouldn’t unless you sub the wine for milk or something. The positives don’t end there, this is a relatively healthy dessert thanks to fruit and wine; it has sugar of course because well we do want a dessert … Continue reading Pears poached in red wine and spices
This is one of those recipes I didn’t really plan on making; I had a few carrots lying in the fridge and I had been itching to do some baking experiments. Now as we all know, baking is a science, every ingredient that goes into the recipe is there not just for the flavour but also because it has a particular role to play in … Continue reading Carrot and Orange Loaf
The husband had his birthday last week, and he said big fat no to cake! Can you imagine? No cake on a birthday? That’s the most legit, logical and obvious reason to bake and eat cake and I tried asking a hundred different ways, hoping he would change his mind but if there’s something a decade of marriage has taught me it’s that once the … Continue reading Triple Chocolate Eclairs
Another year, another birthday, another cake; and yes, like most years, this year too I baked my own birthday cake. I figure it just makes sense you know, you’re sure there’ll be cake on your birthday (very important), then you get to choose exactly the kind of cake you want, and then the fun part, you get to control what goes into it and how … Continue reading Mojito and White Chocolate Cake
Chickeeeen! Because who doesn’t like chicken, especially when it’s this easy and delicious; but first let’s catch up a little. Those of you who know the husband will be familiar with his absolute all consuming love for beer and the only thing that can compete with his love for beer is his love for Formula 1! If it’s a race weekend, every other plan we … Continue reading Double smoked Chicken Kachri Kebabs
My introduction to cooking was meats and because of that I can feel quite lost if I have to come up with vegetarian dishes. Since potatoes are a universal favourite, this is what I came up with one time when the food had to be vegetarian. The potatoes and herbs are two components that always stay and I play around with the other ingredients, sometimes … Continue reading Herbed Baby Potatoes
Oh! Sweet Citrus turns one! I’m almost as excited as I was when Baby boy turned one. I’m also super excited about this cake, the only thing I’m not so excited about is these pictures; it was a cloudy, rainy day and I was feeling surprisingly uninspired, just one of those days I guess. At some point in the near future I will make this cake … Continue reading Chocolate, Honey, Whiskey Cake with Figs and Salted Caramel
Anyone who knows me and my cooking even a little bit will tell you how scared terrified I am of cooking mithais and basically all Indian desserts; baking is a science, you measure things out correctly, follow the steps and it almost always goes to plan. Indian sweets on the other hand, I find, are like French desserts- temperamental; of which macarons probably have the … Continue reading Rose Rasgulla
Sometimes in the excitement and want of new, we tend to leave behind the old, the tried and tested and passed on from one generation to the next; I’m definitely guilty of this. I love discovering new food, food I haven’t heard of, seen or tasted before; it’s unfamiliar and though the unfamiliar can sometimes be scary, it’s also exciting. And just like that the … Continue reading Korma Roti (paratha)/ Lentil Flatbread
I know, it’s been a long time, I apologize. Coming back from a trip home, that too after dropping off baby boy at school; it takes time to get back to being somewhat normal, but I’m getting there and being in the kitchen, experimenting, definitely helps. So baby boy is ok, we get to talk to him every Sunday and although he sounds chirpy and … Continue reading Dragon fruit Cheesecake (No Bake)
