I don’t know what it is but I will find any excuse to bake. I will happily admit that I am not the best baker in town but I like to give it a good go. I am guilty of changing recipes based on what I have in the house, which doesn’t always go my…

Diwali…The Festival of Light
Its Diwali! The time of lights, food and family! Diwali is a great festival that is celebrated all over the world, wherever you might find Indians! Of course it is a lot more grand in India, but us British Asians give it a good go! I was born and raised in England so I consider…
Unusual ingredients…Okra?!
It may be unusual to you, but to me I grew up eating Okra. I actually went through a mad phase of demanding my Mum to cook it once a week for me (is that weird?). My brother however is not a fan! I like to discover new ingredients whenever I can, otherwise I would…
The Comforts of Baking
I have to admit it, I have the baking bug. If everything I wanted to make wasn’t made from butter, cream or sugar, I would most likely bake everyday. But then again if I did this, baking wouldn’t be such a treat. The nation has gone baking mad, with the rising popularity of The Great…

New York! New York!
I have to apologise for not blogging in so long, I’ve been away! My husband and I went to New York and I think it’s fair to say that we ate our way through the big apple! What an exciting place! Besides being one of the most amazing cities in the world, I loved it for…

Make your own healthy coleslaw!
As it’s summer in the UK, everyone is in barbecue mode! And why not? Who doesn’t love grilled chicken and veg in the garden? But sometimes I get a bit bored with a simple salad on the side with a lonely baked potato. So I decided to make coleslaw but a healthy version of it….
