When it comes to a hearty winter meal, there is little that comes to mind except a thick, creamy soup. Pumpkin soup is one such dish. It has a creamy, rich and silken texture that coupled with its sweet taste is a delight to savour.

I prefer to use almond flour in the cake which is a flour made of blanched almonds. Since the flour is rich in oil, we do not need to use additional butter in the recipe. However, I do prefer to separate the eggs then use them at different stages of making the batter. Beating the eggs whites separately ensures that the cake turns out fluffy and not dense.

O mi amore Come to me when dusk embraces the night Wantonly, on lubricious feet

This delicious fruit traces its origin to China as early as 6000 BC.

These cookies are crumbly, soft pieces of deliciousness that break apart at the touch and melt in the mouth. I prefer to use some cinnamon in the dough because it adds that extra aroma that is so enticing when the cookies bake. I like to shape them like biscuits because they are then that much easier to dunk in a glass of cold milk….absolutely heavenly, trust me

Added to the marinade of the paneer tikka, the beetroot it imparts a blushing pink colour to the paneer, which is a sure hit with kids.

In India, nothing says festivals like the aroma of roasting gram flour admixed with cardamom. A point to note is that the laddus made with castor sugar give a better texture than the ones made with powdered sugar. Also, I absolutely insist on the twin step infusion of milk. They help to fluff up the gram flour grains. 

The book is a compilation of fifteen brilliant short stories. The stories encompass multiple genres.

Cranberries are tart, tangy and explode in the mouth with their vibrant, zesty flavours. They make a great addition to cakes, tarts and even cookies. What’s more, I believe that they have the distinct edge of taking a humble dish and elevating it to a level of deliciousness.

you may not agree with me but, I believe that chicken soup is food for the soul. You could be curled up in bed on a cold evening, nursing a rabid cold or flu, or even rushing to work for meetings; the soup is succour. Trust me, I kid you not! It is nutritious, packed with flavour and can satiate the tummy like no other food can.
