Walking along the narrow streets mesmerized by the bangles market in the Charminar area of Hyderabad, I and my friend stumbled upon a cart loaded with drinks. This was our first visit to this wonderful city of the Nawabs. After the mandatory dose of kebabs and biryanis, we looked for other things the place had…

A Scoop of ‘Love’
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…
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…

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….
Rudolf’s Red Currant
It’s been a while since I posted anything vegan. These vegan partially cooked cupcakes are like a Christmas present to me. Christmas has always been special.
