3 years and Double Chocolate Truffle Brownies

Three years today. Three years of sugar, flour and oodles of butter. Three years ago, I sat in front of a blank page typing my first words. There might be someone who’d probably want to listen to what I have to say, right? For the first few weeks the only comments I got were from […]

Buttery Cinnamon Cake

When the Pioneer Woman says it’s the best coffee cake ever, you’ve got to listen. Having bookmarked this recipe ever since she wrote about this super delicious coffee cake, I finally set out to make it today. With lots of butter, sugar, pecans and cinnamon, what’s not to like? (For that matter, anything with cinnamon […]

Zucchini and Onion Tart

This is not your average tart. For starters, it doesn’t use tart dough for a base, but pizza dough, and secondly, it calls for a layer of thick yoghurt and cheese beneath the vegetables. Both the deviations from the norm seemed rather interesting, and the picture in the book looked too good to pass up […]

Crispy Roasted Potatoes with Lemon, Garlic and Sage

There are roasted potatoes. And then there are crispy roasted potatoes. So when I discovered a new way to perk up some tubers, I was only to thrilled to try it out.  In addition to this method of treating the potatoes, the lemon-sage is something I’m pretty happy to discover (and use more often).

Mid Day and A Corn and Spinach Quiche

Yesterday morning I got a call from a lady, “I’d like to order pesto rolls and cupcakes”, she said.  Just like I do with every such call, I grabbed my order book to note down the details. I asked my standard set of questions and then finally, the address for delivery.  She said, “That would […]

Baked Vanilla Yoghurt

I’ve had this recipe of baked yoghurt tucked away in my recipe file for the longest time. Maybe because it’s so simple, I didn’t come around to making it. It’s just three ingredients (if you don’t count vanilla), takes barely any prep time and tastes so good, especially with fresh fruit. All you have to […]

My new camera, a (couple of) food bloggers’ meets, and more press

Popping back in to say a big hello to you again! My new camera: I have been a delinquent blogger and there is no excuse for it. I’d like to think I have a good enough reason, but I’d rather keep it to myself. Why? Because every time I hear a blogger complain they don’t […]
