Rosemary Garlic Sesame Millet Crackers with Lovilovi and Bird’s Eye Sweet Chili Pickle … earthy beautiful pairing
Rosemary Garlic Sesame Millet Crackers turned out to be crackers with a bite. Paired with the sweet chili pickle, they got just the right kick as well, some smoked Gouda on the side to balance the heat from the pickle. Both the crackers and the the pickle have much in common, other than the long name of course! Both earthy and rustic, both from local produce, they have a combination of flavours that compliment each other. The taste undertones are complex but subtle, individual ingredients in each that compliment the preparation. The good thing is that they paired together beautifully too!

Baking | Brownie Butterscotch Wholegrain Cookies … and some gorgeous table linen from IDAM
“I love linen in soothing colors for any room in the house.” Nate Berkus Brownie Butterscotch Wholegrain Cookies are possibly the easiest cookies to make ever.

With so little effort I turned my attention to some beautiful table linen from…

Be it kebabs, kormas, bhuna gosht or then keema like this, the spice mixes are generally region specific. This Dhungaar-e-Keema or Smoked Lamb Mince is minimally adapted from an old one from…

Genoa Fougasse with spiced yogurt, hummus & foxnuts … for the love of bread
Genoa Fougasse turned out to be the best bread I've baked in a while. Sometimes you just need 'bread luxury', and this became that and much more. The difference here was the new level of deliciousness brought on by the addition of a gourmet spice blend, Genoa, from Sprig. It brought the flavours alive, went beautifully with the cheese and walnuts within, making it our new favourite bread at home.
