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 […]

Flourless Hazelnut Cookies

Do you have midnight cookie hankerings?  I’m pretty sure you do. And even when there might be some cookie crumbs in the jar or a pack of cookies in the pantry, all you want is a fresh, warm cookie, right out of the oven. But isn’t it annoying to get ingredients for a cookie ready […]

Hazelnut Shortbread

Given the number of hazelnut recipes I have littered around this place, it’s amply clear that I have a weak spot for these nuts. Give me anything with hazelnuts, and you’re golden in my books. Have you stood around your oven when roasting hazelnuts? It smells like nothing else. Now imagine this smell captured in […]

Buttery Buckwheat Nibby Cookies

Or rather, these should be called dangerously buttery buckwheat nibby cookies. I’ve made this cookie recipe a few times ever since my friend Kishi sent me a bag of Valrhona cacao nibs and they’ve been a hit every single time. These buckwheat cookies definitely won’t win a beauty pagent, but that’s hardly going to be a point of […]

Chocolate Chip Shortbread

Or, instead, this post should be titled ‘I Love Dorie Greenspan’. The more recipes I try from her book Baking: From My Home to Yours, the more I feel like I don’t need any other baking book. I love how each recipe is written so beautifully with personal notes from experience and ideas for variation. […]

To most this might sound strange; especially for those who’ve got fond memories of having it sandwiched between graham crackers or toasted over a […]

Homemade Graham Crackers

Now I don’t have the same story as most others who grew up on Graham Crackers and loved them so much they had to replicate it at home. My need for making these crackers stems more from curiosity than a trip down memory lane. When I saw this recipe for Graham crackers on Smitten Kitchen, […]

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 […]

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 […]
