Black Forest Cookies

Move over, you ‘regular’ Chocolate Chip Cookie, I have found nirvana! Right out of the blue, I came across THE most supremely decadent Black Forest Cookies in this new book, Baked. This has got to be the first recipe I’ve made within just a day of getting the book, and that says A LOT about […]

The Sharper Your Knife, The Less You Cry + Banana Nutella Crepes

I can’t remember how I heard about The Sharper Your Knife, The Less You Cry first; I think I bumped into on Amazon where it was listed as one of the books customers bought along with the one I was looking at. When I found out that this story has Le Cordon Bleu as the […]

Spicy Mango Chutney

With the monsoons setting in, the mango season is nearing its end. While mangoes aren’t my favourite fruit, I do have a special place for them because they remind me of childhood summers when I’d visit my grandma’s hometown with her. They had a huge house and the area surrounding the house was thick with […]

Herb Butter Mushrooms With Smoked Mozzarella

A few months ago when a friend requested I make mushrooms for an office potluck, I was instantly reminded of a recipe I had from my rounds at the city’s chic restaurants where the chefs demonstrate recipes, let you sample some and give you copies of the recipe. I loved going for these and making […]

Oreo Cookie Ice Cream

I *LOVE* Oreo Cookies. And if you’ve hung around here long enough, you’d know just how much I love them. I’ve made cupcakes, Oreo pie with Philly cream cheese and brownies with Oreo cookies. It has now been quite a while since I got my Oreo fix; making a wonderfully rich and creamy Oreo ice […]

Cheddar Cheese Biscuits

The last time I made biscuits I was quite taken aback by the results. How could biscuits be soft on the inside? Here, cookies equal biscuits, so I just could not fathom why biscuits elsewhere would be any different. I was a little upset because I had followed the recipe to the T, yet they […]

Bagels For The Bread Bakers Apprentice Challenge

A few weeks ago Nicole of Pinch my Salt tweeted about starting to bake bread from Peter Reinhart’s Bread Bakers Apprentice and called out to all those that might be interested in taking up the challenge along with her. I loved the idea instantly. But I didn’t think I could participate because the local bookstores […]

My Love for Books and Chocolate Cake

I love collecting books on food and I’m also pretty darn proud of my collection thus far. And it is something to be a little reverent about, especially for someone living in Bombay where the David Lebovitzs and Ina Gartens continue to elude the bookstore shelves. From all the books I’ve got, some have been […]
