SAVOURY
While it might appear that I have a sweet tooth, yet my ♥ belongs to savoury!! You won't find too many savoury recipes here of late as my focus has been desserts for a while now, yet dive into the archives and there are plenty. My oven and grill are on cooking up a savoury storm almost everyday...

Basque Lamb Stew … White Wine or Red? Surpisingly both!
With winter almost here, this Basque Lamb Stew seems like a good way to warm up ... robust, hearty, full of flavour. It's the time of the year when comfort food tops the list.

Empanada Gallega … Daring Bakers at their best!
Empanada is the kind of food that makes one go back to childhood. A bread-like dough that surrounds a filling with just about anything you can imagine, from mushrooms, mince and cheese. Or filled with sugar, butter and fruit. Warm or cold, it's simple, pretty, and delicious. Daring Bakers at their best!

French Fougasse with Roasted Red Bell Pepper, Garlic, Walnut & Mozarella … #fortheloveofbread
Bread we love! With the carbs threatening an overdose, did a tiny substitution with whole wheat flour and used instant yeast. I also literally stuffed it, almost making it a more like a baked sandwich than bread. It was delicious and disappeared soon! I didn’t have Gouda so used mozzarella instead … any cheese is good and mozzarella was great. Warm, stringy, flavourful … cheesily indulgent.

Baking| Ottolenghis Brilliant Focaccia … doesn’t get better than this!
Even the dieting diva loved it and couldn’t stop nibbling. It’s no nice and chewy she declared! It really is and that’s the beauty of Ottolenghis recipes…they ALWAYS deliver. The kids had focaccia sandwiches for dinner that night with chicken salami, homemade pesto and mozzarella.The verdict – ♥♥♥!

Cooking | Butter Chicken & Punjabi Chole … The Chakle India Cookbook {a book review}
The Chakle India Cookbook - Adityas energy is infectious. I love the simple explanations, the ‘deglazing’ of the pan now and then, asking you to check the balance of flavours, taking in the magic of Indian spices. From the book I offer you a non vegetarian and vegetarian main meal recipe, both delicious. They celebrate the robustness of Indian cuisine.
