Buttery Lavender Shortbread

December has got to be the best month for a food blogger, with the season being perfect for rich breads, lots of cookies and elaborate meals. And that makes me feel really bad because I haven’t done justice to the month. While the weather in Bombay has been nothing but charming, and perfectly conducive for […]

Tahitian Vanilla Cake

Everyone has a go-to pound cake recipe, right? Heck, I have two pound cake recipes around here already. So why would anyone possibly want to use this recipe? Well, no reason really except for the fact that these loaves baking in your oven will make the house smell spectacular. And in this case, it’s the […]

I made it!

A drumroll moment… Successful macarons with the prettiest feet and smoothest tops! Yep, I finally did it. Macarons have got quite the reputation of being tempramental cookies (macarons from this very batch cracked on the tops!), and if you’ve been here long enough you probably know that previous attempts have been far from desired. After a […]

The Fluffiest Cinnamon Sugar Rolls

I’ve got to admit, I’m quite a hoarder when it comes to hard-to-find ingredients. The problem with food shopping for me is that I always buy more than I should because, you know, I am utterly positive that I will never find it anywhere else. I bring sneak it back home and then find a […]

Raspberry Yoghurt Teacake

I miss blogging. I miss blogging a lot. It’s not that I’m not baking. It’s just that I’m not baking anything new. I’ve been on my feet for hours at a stretch; I can hardly feel them anymore. I’m not complaining – rather, I’m enjoying every bit of it. Nothing beats working for myself, nothing […]

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 […]

Blueberry Almond Cake

Last week I got a message from my friend D. that read “They have blueberries at the supermarket!!!” I sprung out of my seat and bolted. For some, it might seem like a literary exaggeration, but that’s exactly what I did. All the tasks on my Google calendar can wait because I really didn’t want […]

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 […]
