Vanilla Chocolate and Chocolate Walnut Eggless Cake … back to the basics
“Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.” John Wooden It’s time for the Daring Bakers and this time I have to say I’m sorry I couldn’t keep a date with the challenge. My kitchen is ‘under attack‘ {read renovation}, and things are still in disarray. What should have been completed last week is yet to be done, dragging on frustratingly. That’s not to say I haven’t managed to sneak in a bake now and then, but I couldn’t manage the chocolate dipping stage etc of the challenge. I did have a LMP {last minute plan} with some clarified butter on hand. Thought I could…

Strawberry & Cape Gooseberry Pink Peppercorn Fro Yo … Here’s Spring!
“Oh, they’s so fresh an’ fine, an’ they’s jus’ off the vine. Straw-ber-ry! Staw-ber-ry!” Porgy and Bess Yesterday was the first day of Spring in North India, ‘Basant’ as it’s locally called. It makes the end of winter here and is celebrated with the festival of colour, Holi.

“I had always thought that once you grew up you could do anything you wanted; stay up all night or eat ice-cream straight out of the container.”Bill Bryson I think this might just be the last batch of peaches now, & sadly so, though I still don’t want to say goodbye to this beautiful fruit. The first batch of the season went into these Peach & Mixed Fruit Crisps that I made here inspired by Judy’s @ No Fear Entertaining. That just set me up for a wonderful peach season that I haven’t been able to get enough of. With this versatile fruit, I’ve made peach-rosemary jam, galettes, birthday cakes,…

INDIAN SUMMER CHICKEN CURRY…CURRY ON THE GO!!
“Playwrights are like men who have been dining for a month in an Indian restaurant. After eating curry night after night, they deny the existence of asparagus”Peter Ustinov The North Indian summer is always unbearably hot, & is meant to last a month or so. That is how we are programmed to survive here, because come July, we welcome the rains with open arms & hearts! This year has been different. It’s almost August & zilch; the rains didn’t come. We’ve seen the monsoons fail…The temperatures are still in the 40’s, & the days are HOT + HUMID = UGH!! An odd shower now & then makes life miserable. This…
