BERRY DELICIOUS INDIAN COOLER … Phalse ka Sherbet
“Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer, and like it.” Russel Baker Oh to have a berry to call your own! What a blissful feeling it is to find pretty berries here after going green with envy reading about blueberries, cranberries & just about every other berry under the sun in blog land. Along comes a plum-purplish tiny Indian berry, the phalsa…Throughout our childhood, & until a few years ago, it was fairly common for door-to-door hawkers door to ring the doorbell, selling this berry at our doorstep. The summer afternoon silence was often shattered by their piercing calls, when very few would venture out while strong,…

Cinnamon Chocolate Bundt Cake …Mmmmmmm!
“I love it. Who wouldn’t like the smell of chocolate?”Maria Negron And yet another gem from Mary @ The Food Librarian. One look at the Cinnamon Chocolate Bundt Cake & I knew it was on my ‘to do very quick’ list.

Mary got the recipe from another beautiful blog that I discovered thanks to this cake, Vintage Visuals that Ellie writes. A refreshing place to visit, lovely pictures & a supre lot of recipes waiting to be tried. Time to boookmark again!!This is one smart looking bundt,…

GETTING MY HERBS RIGHT WITH PASTA & CHICKEN
“A man’s nature runs either to herbs, or to weeds; therefore let him seasonably water the one, and destroy the other.”Francis Bacon, Sr. Do I know my herbs? Well I thought I did, & was basking in my limited glory until I saw Helen’s beautiful Thyme shortbread cookies @ Tartlette. Hmmmmm, I thought, how come my oregano looks like her thyme? I got the seeds a while ago, & my gardener planted them. He’d never seen these herbs & I’ve only seen dried ones that looked more like green tea most of the time! Helen wrote to me when I left her a quizzical comment. A few pictures exchanged, &…

Making these iced cookies have been a totally relaxing & therapeutic experience for me. Colour=Mood Upliftment! Good tasting, good looking food is even better!

Chocolate Banana Walnut Brownie Cake
“They look more attractive than a regular cake and they do not have to be frosted to be good.”Linda Edwards Over-ripe bananas & never a free moment to bake. A dilemma I used to face often, but not anymore! How often have you looked a banana in the face & thought you’d better use it before it becomes history? My kids will eat a banana only if it’s fresh, with a bright yellow peel, & above all, it’s got to be ‘good looking’.Tall order for this humble fruit which is said to contain everything a human needs and they contain all the 8 amino-acids our body cannot produce itself. Eat…
