Strawberry Jam
February 11, 2015
Strawberries are often whimsically referred to as the fruit of love and passion. The one obvious reason is the strawberry’s heart-shaped form, its sweetness and its vivid red color. There are several traditions where strawberries are integral. Here’s my post to this years Valentine’s Day: Strawberry Jam. I love making this, it is simple, delicious […]

Mr. Nags, the central purpose of my blog turns older by another year. Backbreaking day for me – lunch cooking, Hindi revision for S, lunch date with school buddies and baking for a nag! Coffee is all I can think of when it comes to Nags. So, a simple Espresso cake with coffee frosting. Serves: […]
A Little something!

It was our 2nd second day in New York. And I had already started shopping for berries. I picked fresh raspberries and black berries from BJ’s. I couldn’t wait until morning, so I had to make an instant dessert! No butter and eggs to whip up a fancy dessert. All we had at 10 in […]

Everything that we do is out of inspiration!
July 3, 2013
Inspired by Nigel Slater’s Beetroot Chocolate Cake, I tried substituting eggs with flax seeds. Dense and moist, I used chocolate that is 70% cacao solids, so it’s not overly sweet. In the real sense, one cannot binge on it 🙂 My photo is bad though 🙁 I like shooting in Natural light and was deprived of it!
