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.

Baking| Caramelised Onion & Garlic Jam … and ‘Snackuits’ {a product review}
A different take on what we traditionally think of as jam. This is pretty darned addictive and hits all the good spots in the most delightful way. A smoky oniony garlicky jam that pairs well with crackers, rolls, canapes, bread, pizza etc!
