Green! Of jealousy and wage; of parsley and sage, of spring and leprechaun. Of four leaf clover, of an old book cover, green of grey days please be gone! I don’t think there is any other color that finds so much expression as that of green and believe it or not, green is one of…
A traditional Christmas pudding is one of those things that can right be called the sushi of the dessert world. Some adore it to a point that they’d wish everyday was Christmas. The other well…would rather have vanilla icecream. Thankfully I am on the former half and this recipe is best cooked for those who…

Vada pav is to Mumbai what hygge is to the world. It’s not just a crispy fried potato patty sandwiched in between a soft bun. Issa mood. At 11 in the morning, when you have finished your first round of conference calls and you crave for a feel-good brain opener, a vada pav and tea…

No frills, no novelty or new infusions, no unnecessary covering and one that literally smells of Christmas with the heady smells of spiced rum, cinnamon and nutmeg. God, I…
This eggless toffee pudding is bae. Let me just make it clear right in the beginning. I mean I could have used a different word but I think bae just encapsulates my feeling towards this dessert in all its entirety. It’s literally dump and go and yet when you serve it, it looks like you…
I made Sourdough bread at home. Yep! I have done it. I raised a good starter, fed it and baked a bread to perfection (in my standards) this morning, and ate it twice- once for breakfast with homegrown basil and tomato & the other with hot tea (toasted and buttered). And in between when I…
Mediterranean barley salad. Super easy to make, super tasty to munch on and super healthy too when you think of the fact that 250 grams of salad is only 298 calories. Jesus Christ, who am I? Who have I become? Where is all this calorie counting words coming from? Am I bipolar? Sick? “Hey, relax!…
Your holidays are not complete without a swig of a good, chilled eggnog. Period. And I for one find it extremely comforting to keep a company of a glass of eggnog on my movie and series night.
