Winter officially kicks off tomorrow! Eeeps! Where did autumn go? I can’t really complain because I have been truly making the most of autumn, not only with my cooking but also with my photogra...
A few weeks ago I entered an online giveaway to win a Tefal Fresh Mini Express Food Processor on the lovely Martyna’s blog Wholesome Cook. Much to my delight, I won. I love making Carrot Puddin...
The natural gift of pairing flavours is a quality ingrained in very few. For the rest it develops over time with trial and error like a fine honed extra sense. And for the flavour matching nov...
Sometimes when you have been baking for a very long time with a contraption that is probably older than you, you learn to read it inside out. I have a feeling that my oven was around when I wa...
I have my favourite pizzas. Pizzas I have shared with Nick mostly on a holiday. New flavours and combinations that instantly rooted deep in my heart. The grand Kathmandu, the comforting...
It is back to basics this month and I am exploring the beauty of a simple recipe, well done. No frills, no fuss, just plain old favourites prepared with the utmost simplicity. After some simpl...
Boys like blue icing. End of matter! Finito! There is no room for discussion. They will not even consider another colour, like maybe white? No siree! Not in our home. So when it comes to birth...
In late March, we went apple picking. We went to pick apples and I think we went a little nuts. One thing you must know about PYO, short for Pick Your Own is that – It Is Hard To Stop! T...
A few weeks ago I received my copy of Under The Walnut Tree by Anna and Fanny Bergenstrom. The cookbook’s byline was Great Recipes From Our Kitchen and it was a labour of love by t...
As a food blogger in constant search of a new recipe to invent and make your own, you often run the risk of overloading your senses. The need to conquer new ingredients often makes life in the...
When Meeta asked me if I would like to host Monthly Mingle a few months ago, I was very enthusiastic about it. I have always observed Monthly Mingle from afar, always excited to see what theme the ne...
When you are curled up on the couch in your worn and much loved brown blanket, the tip of your toes still tingling with cold inside your woollen socks, your breath toasty on your palms as you ...
April has been an eventful month for me. Over the Easter weekend, we went away camping with our friends. Always a skeptic about wide open spaces and unpredictable animals, I was amazed at the ...
Kachumber [kuh-choom-burr] was my favourite salad growing up. I loved rolling the word of my tongue and enjoyed eating it even more. More relish than salad, it was sweet and sour with a fresh ...
The first time I had a muffin, I was 23. We had just moved to Singapore and on one of my first walks to the local bakery, I discovered trays laden with fluffy cloud topped cupcakes some studded with ...

In my little home town in India, there was a train station. Even 25 years ago, thousands of people passed through that station every day on their way to work and school. The footpaths leading ...
This is a beautiful supper or brunch dish. It presents itself like a work of art, as if the garden fairy came by and dotted your serving with greens and whites when you were day dreaming. A fr...
It was April Fool’s Day on Sunday. What we did for that in a minute. But first, how does the idea of your favourite cereal baked into a nice round loaf sound? How about a thick round sli...
I am not an icing person. That much you know about me. I deliberately seek out cakes that eliminate the need for icing or frosting of any kind. Cakes that are robust in their flavour and delic...
The word that comes to mind when you first lay eyes on a pikelet is, cute. A pikelet is a mini version of a pancake and is prevalent in Australia and New Zealand. It is about 75mm in diameter,...
There are a million and one variations of Anzac Biscuits out there. Maybe I am exaggerating a bit here. With only seven ingredients, how many variations can there possibly be? Before I embaras...
It is truly autumn. I am happy as a lark. The colours of nature are awakening my creativity. I have a new found love for apples. We went apple picking and brought home a cartload. Apple pies a...
A great, crumbly cookie dough has many lives. First there is the obvious cookie. Then it dreams of being a golden crumble. Sometimes it fantasizes about being a chic truffle coated in glorious...
When you do something for a very long time, it becomes a way of life. It integrates into your being and becomes one with you. Then it is no longer a thing. It is you. I started food blogging s...
When I was a little girl, I was ever curious about the pot of suspicious looking cream stowed away in a dark corner on the kitchen countertop. Every morning after boiling the milk and allowing...
We had an abundant season of cherry tomatoes in our little backyard vegetable patch. We had sun kissed reds, crunchy yellows and beautiful drop shaped tangerine beauties hanging from the tomato vines...
Breakfast with the family on the weekends is a relaxed, muted but lavish affair. For once, I am not the one doing the cooking. That alone makes it a special treat for me. We have fresh eggs from the ...
A few weeks ago I bought a big, vibrant bunch of beetroot from the farmer’s market. I was lucky to find them the day I decided I wanted to make a red dessert for Valentine’s Day. I wasn&#...
I have never been much of a salad person. There, I admitted it! But something has changed. I seem to like them now. Maybe I am all grown up. Maybe it is a phase. I am but a puppet to my whims ...
