“From morning till night, sounds drift from the kitchen, most of them familiar and comforting….On days when warmth is the most important need of the human heart, the kitchen is the place you can find it; it dries the wet sock, it cools the hot little brain.”

E.B.White (1899-1985)

BROWN SUGAR MUFFINS with WALNUTS & CHOCOLATE CHIPS…comfort food!

It’s one of those days you wake up in the morning with the ‘bakers’ itch’…gotta bake something, & fast. And one of those days where its got to be ‘sans chocolate’. This is just a simple recipe (with a bitta PINK) with a good feeling about it, to relax with a cuppa coffee or tea, and read that book which has been beckoning you for ages. While I talk about books, here’s a nice one that makes for hilarious reading…”A Spot of Bother” penned by Mark Haddon, which I am currently reading. It’s a funny, humane, witty, sometimes poignant and thoroughly entertaining book.

About me: I am a freelance food writer, recipe developer and photographer. Food is my passion - baking, cooking, developing recipes, making recipes healthier, using fresh seasonal produce and local products, keeping a check on my carbon footprint and being a responsible foodie! I enjoy food styling, food photography, recipe development and product reviews. I express this through my food photographs which I style and the recipes I blog. My strength lies in 'Doing Food From Scratch'; it must taste as good as it looks, and be healthy too. Baking in India, often my biggest challenge is the non-availability of baking ingredients, and this has now become a platform to get creative on. I enjoy cooking immensely as well.
