Who doesn’t like being hugged by their little ones? They hug and fill your heart with love. My little fella is not very expressive with words but he has a way of expressing his deep moment of happiness and exuberance. His food choices are like any other kid. Hates veggies but loves most of the…

Beery meets Algae
A simple and quick dessert made with a handful of ingredients yet it can look so elegant on your dinner table. It’s a classic that never fails to impress. My version of berry pannacotta is with coconut cream is light, vegan and refined sugar-free. I used agar-agar in the place of gelatin. I remember using it…
Black is a Miracle
Oryza Sativa or Rice is a miracle crop. A lot of hard work and labor goes into raising a single crop of rice. A background in agriculture and experience of the process of rice cultivation has made me understand the real value of this crop. Not just nutritionally but also it’s economic value. Assam is…
Bonhomie over Winter Chill!!
As I sit next to my little one, in the corner of our bedroom where plenty of light seeps through, allowing me to write my blog with the mandatory tea and a slice of beet carrot bar, I recall some vivid memories from my Uncle’s Tea-estate bungalow. Winter vacations were usually reserved for spending time with uncle’s…
All Treats no Tricks from your friendly Pumpkin…
Come autumn and all I can think is a pumpkin. I try to find out ways to include it in our diet. Be its soups, salads, curries or just as roasted veggies. Luckily even my husband is a huge fan of pumpkin or butternut squash. Pumpkin is a rich source of Vitamin A, C and…
Inspired Food and the harmony of things explained
When you enter a restaurant you expect good food, ambiance, and service. When all the three are met and you feel satisfied. This is exactly what happens to me…usually. But this weekend, my hubby surprised me with his find. I didn’t know where we were heading. At a point, I told him, “I think we…
It’s time to fix your breakfast
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day ignoring which can affect your concentration and leave you cranky for the rest of the day. In my case, I would end up binge eating for the rest of the day. Post child birth with no family to share the household chores, it was tough going…
Dipped to Chill!!
This is my second post on Tea. I didn’t want to share the picture of a cup of green tea and talk about it because green tea comes across as a bland beverage. But green tea can be fun too. There are so many ways of including it into our diet, and actually, drinking is…
Drizzle some inspiration…
It’s not that we must remember to care about our planet on just one day “Earth Day”. I believe it’s like a reminder to be a little more selfless, a little more caring, a little more aware and make as many small changes as possible in our own lives. It will lead us to a…
THANDAI…for Holi!!
Thandai is a spiced Indian milk served cold. Very popular in the Northern parts of the country. Having lived in Delhi for over a decade (before moving to Dubai), my husband is a huge fan of Delhi’s street food. You start your day with parathas, lunch would be chole bhature/ rajma chawal and kebabs for…
Some Vegan Love…
Well, its an incredibly late post for Valentine’s day. Nevertheless, love doesn’t (cease to exist) begin nor end with a day. Every day is different, and we end up understanding love a little more and overstating a lot more. But let’s not go down that route….there is nothing that hasn’t been discussed already. Even as…
Plan for some unplanned sweets!!
Well, picture this…..I went to the kitchen with the Indian carrot fudge (Gajar ka halwa) in mind, but I ended up making this. That’s the beauty of getting inspired. I had been planning to make a vegan and refined sugar-free version of this traditional Indian sweet which happens to be one of my favorite desserts….
