The Life of Pi …. err…Pie Bird & A Strawberry Pie
A Strawberry Pie and a Pie Bird. Strange how things happen at a good time. Around the time that the Life of Pi won an Oscar, the good folk from Zansaar sent me something very interesting ... a beautiful aubergine stoneware baking dish with an intriguing creature inside. They call it a Pie Bird! I made a fruity and delicious strawberry pie. It's a great way to use fruit in season

Holiday Baking Fun! These little Almond Digestive Chocolate Squares hit the sweet spot without being too sweet or too buttery. The savoury fare by way of chickpeas came out CRISPY good from the AirFryer in about 20-25 minutes. Both dishes have a nice balance of flavours and are a quick, convenient bake.

Baking | Not Quite Anzacs … Eggless Oat & Walnut Cookies
Not quite anzacs ... cookies that are nice, chewy if you like them them that way, and crisp if you bake them longer! I loved the flavours trapped within - brown sugar and butter create some delightful butterscotch like magic, and the walnut meal adds delicious taste.

Cooking | Butter Chicken & Punjabi Chole … The Chakle India Cookbook {a book review}
The Chakle India Cookbook - Adityas energy is infectious. I love the simple explanations, the ‘deglazing’ of the pan now and then, asking you to check the balance of flavours, taking in the magic of Indian spices. From the book I offer you a non vegetarian and vegetarian main meal recipe, both delicious. They celebrate the robustness of Indian cuisine.
