HAMBURGER BUNS…TO YEAST OR NOT TO YEAST!!
“It is impossible to think of any good meal, no matter how plain or elegant, without soup or bread in it.” M. F. K. Fisher Hamburger Buns…made at home “To yeast or not to yeast” seems to be my call these days. It’s been a while since I gained my yeastly confidence, & now, every weekend I wake up early to try a new yeast bread. Last weekend’s choice ended up being hamburgers because I found this nice recipe posted by Nicole Weston @ Slashfood. Looked like just what I wanted…perfect buns, ever so tempting. The buns didn’t come out as perfect as the ones on Nicole’s post, but they…

MOCHA CHOCOLATE MORSEL COOKIES…& A MUSIC MEME
“In the cookies of life, friends are the chocolate chips” Unknown I guess one can never have enough of chocolate chip cookies.

Skip the cocoa if you want pure unadulterated chocolate pleasure, skip the nuts if you ain’t a nutty person. I have…

“Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it. “ Russel Baker Cooler anyone? Make mine mango… With summer here, a cooler is just the perfect way to chill out. And with mangoes in every avatar flooding markets, how cool would a mango cooler be. In North India, this is a traditional thirst quencher, considered a good way to beat the heat & was made throughout homes across the North. Just the right thing to gulp down when you walk in from searing temperatures hitting 40 degrees C & upwards, & for many, the only way to escape a heatstroke. Aam panna, as it is called…

RUSTIC ITALIAN FOCACCIA…IN A RING & MORE!
“If thou tastest a crust of bread, thou tastest all the stars and all the heavens.”Robert Browning as rustic as it gets… Italian artisan bread… Thicker than a pizza, this dimpled bread, focaccia, gets it’s name from the Latin word focus, meaning ‘hearth’ , because it was originally baked on an open hearth. Italian bakers use focaccia dough to make many different speciality breads, such as this ring, stuffed with fragrant pesto, or for that matter, with any other flavouring you might like ( quoted from Le Cordon Blue; The Cook’s Bible). I made one with home made pesto, & the other with a mushroom, garlic, cheese filling (we liked…
