Lakshman Sagar, Rajasthan. ‘Where all you do is ‘nothing’!!
Nothing quite prepares you for the luxury and peace of Lakshman Sagar. Nothing at all. It caught me by surprise, a place I have been putting off visiting for over a year.

Fresh Ginger Cake and Fresh Ginger Chocolate Chip Cookies
“Nose, nose, jolly red nose, Who gave thee this jolly red nose?† Nutmegs and ginger, cinnamon and cloves, And they gave me this jolly red nose” Anonymous I’m on a GINGER high, or call it a roll, but my days are full of ginger. It’s a flavour, with sharpness, that I’ve come to love, and am surprised that the kids have taken to it so willingly too. Fresh ginger is far more pronounced in its gingery taste, and since it’s the season for fresh, wonderful young ginger root here, I’m taking full advantage of it! Ginger has proven medicinal value, and I have been using it as a base for…
