BEFORE & AFTER ICING THE COOKIES…
“Cooking is an art, but you eat it too.” Marcella Hazan Oooops!! Guess what? Forgot to post the before and after pictures of the ‘Iced Sugar Cookies’. I love the way they look both ways….& these photographs are 2 of my favourites! Here are the cookies in my previous post before they were iced.

ICED SUGAR COOKIES…A great gift for any occasion!
“The preparation of good food is merely another expression of art, one of the joys of civilized living”Dione Lucas Iced Sugar Cookies… My all time popular cookies that kids love. They add a burst of colour to the surroundings and are fascinating. They are very delicious too as they are almond butter cookies with a sugar icing. I’ve been doing these for almost 8 years now, and though they aren’t very easy to do, they are therapeutic. Made this batch yesterday for someone’s birthday…thought of ‘Bee’ while doing the bees!! An extension of my canvas onto the cookie, its great fun mixing colours and indulging in food art. The trick…

SMOKED BUTTER PANEER…Paneer-e-Dhungaar is what I like to call it!
“Raising children is presented at first as a true-false test, then becomes multiple choice, until finally, far along, you realize that it is an endless essay. No one knows anything.”Anna Quindlen SMOKED BUTTER PANEER CURRY…‘Paneer-e-Dhungaar’ is what I like to call it! This recipe is the result of trying to keep the dinner table smiling with eager kids. Here’s a nice change to the regular Indian style cottage cheese/paneer curry. It combines the best of paneer tikka (which has a smoked flavor) & butter paneer. I made this up one day when the kids were losing interest at the dinner table, and I had paneer on hand which I wanted…
