Baking | Nutella, Walnut & Orange Rolls … ‘Chocolat et pain … what else?’
“There’s nothing better than a good friend – except a good friend with chocolate!” Linda Grayson Nutella, Walnut & Orange Rolls … Bonjour. Welcome February, the month of love. And when there’s World Nutella Day (5th Feb) just around the corner, there can be nothing better than chocolate. At the end of the day, it’s all about chocolate! I got a mail the other day from a sweet lady by the name of Amy telling me that she had added my blog to this list – 80 Great sites for those who love to bake… I was elated! So I went across to take a look, and found a huge…

CHARGRILLED BROCCOLI with CHILLI & GARLIC … from Ottolenghi
“And When You Least Expect It, You Will See the Mountain Move…” … lines from my little red book All through my university days, and even while I worked, I had this little red book with a checked Scottish cover, in which I penned down quotes and poems I liked. I’d always had this thing for ‘words‘, and I still do. The quote, which formed part of a poem I’d saved, seemed an instant click with my battle of making the kids eat their veggies. As they grow up, it’s becoming an uphill task. They are increasingly fussy about not eating their ‘greens‘, their vegetables and the outright ‘healthy’ stuff!…

Mushroom Soup, Fougasse, Char-grilled Broccoli Salad… & Holiday Gift Ideas!
“I live on good soup, not on fine words”Moliere It’s time for a savoury break… short & crisp recipe as most of my family has been bitten by the flu bug. We have a house full of sniffles & coughs, and this soup is the call of today. This is also my Mom’s fave soup which she now makes more often than me. I put together this simple recipe ages ago, yet had to call her for the recipe yesterday because amnesia struck me!! It’s off for Meeta’s Monthly Mingle which is rightfully calling for warming soups this time. I think I am just about making it in the nick…

FRUITY APPLE SPIRAL SWIRLS … for Monthly Mingle
“There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.”Henry James It’s time for Monthly Mingle, Meeta’s little baby that she so lovingly created in 2006. It’s being hosted this time by Aparna @ My Diverse kitchen. The Monthly Mingle call this month is for high tea snacks, something I used to find quite challenging not so long ago. No longer though since blogging has opened untold avenues. ‘Don’t know what to make’ is passe! Now it’s more like, “shall I make this, this, this, or, oooooh this”! The call was for ‘High Tea Treats’, & I immediately got transported to…

Chocolate Strawberry Refrigerator Cheesecake …summer ♥
“There’s more to life than chocolate, but not right now” Anonymous There’s a new book out there, & it sounds good … Cooking Green by Kate Heyhoe. It’s aimed at shrinking your ‘cookprint’ (new interesting word for me), & offers daily strategies for ‘lower impact living’. To quote the author, “How we cook is as important as what we cook. Fortunately, the kitchen is the place where you can make real green choices, and take direct control of your impact—through passive and active cooking strategies, water conservation tips, and low-carbon choices for cookware, appliances, foods, dining, and more. Save money and time, too, just by rethinking how you cook and…
