You know that one recipe that you keep going back to every time someone requests it? For me, its Nigella Lawson’s brownies. Years ago, from my ‘food-blogging-is-in days’, I had attended a waffle making competition at the erstwhile Cafe Sundance at Churchgate, Mumbai. And…
Winter has finally started to make an appearance in the UAE, and it is probably the best time of the year here! Cool breeze blows through my windows! Everyone is donning light jackets. Walks are so much more pleasant now. And all of the…
I devour recipe videos, articles and blogs on food, and food shows on a regular basis, and my inspiration to cook comes from all of this. Recently, a leading food magazine in the UAE organised a competition on apples, and I knew this was…
These double chocolate muffins are epic. They are soft, fluffy, fudgy with chocolate chips and, in my opinion, simply the best option. I've made these muffins plenty of times, and if you follow me on Instagram, you will know how many times I've made…
So, how many of you have watched 'The Hundred Foot Journey'? Well, I recently got the opportunity to watch a preview of the movie at Nehru Planetarium last week through an invite by Atout France and enjoyed it immensely. Now, I am no film…

Birthdays, birthdays, birthdays! Suddenly several close family members and friends are having their birthdays this time of the year, and I'm loving the opportunity to bake them birthday cakes. Today was my boss' birthday and after the Devil's Food Cake I'd baked for my…
I just love baking birthday cakes! The amount of love and work that goes into making something for someone who is celebrating a special day is unparalleled. It was my office friend Rashmi’s birthday last week; so, I decided to bake one for her.…
Lemons and limes are very different from each other - while lemons are bigger, yellow and have a thick rind/skin, limes are smaller often green (it gets yellow once it ripens), more tart and has a thinner skin. Of late, I've fallen head over…
The food world is filled with classic flavour combinations: apple-cinnamon, lamb-rosemary, garlic-almost anything, steak-onions, chocolate-hazelnut (read nutella), chicken-cherry tomatoes, tomato-basil-mozzarella and much more.
