If anyone told me that I would not have the urge to bake or cook, I would laugh at them and tell them they are so wrong. But alas here we are, coming up to my uncle 2 month anniversary and if I have baked 3 times in those two months, then it has been … Continue reading Ginger biscuits
Custard cream puffs with sour cream pastry
I love a good custard slice. Not sure the last time I had one, let alone seen a proper one in the store. The only ones I seem to see at Spar are the ones make with imitation custard and the icing tastes funny and leaves a fatty oily residue on your tongue. I was … Continue reading Custard cream puffs with sour cream pastry
Cabbage skillet
Every other fasting day, my dad always begs cant he have simple Indian food like greenbeans, dhal and cabbage. My rule is that we can’t eat the same meal twice in the year, I mean what is the purpose of having a cooking blog if all I am going to be doing is cooking the … Continue reading Cabbage skillet
Peanut butter stuffed french toast
Who doesn’t love French toast? I love it, but to find the perfect side to go with it, is sometimes such a nightmare. You are supposed to have syrup with it. Seriously a huge sugar rush first thing in the morning is not really how I like to start my day. So I just skip … Continue reading Peanut butter stuffed french toast
Chocolate wheels with nuts
What is the first thing we do when we are sad? We seek comfort in things that are familiar to us. For me, that would mean paging through my grans cookbooks and looking at her recipes, her notes and more importantly looking at her writing. This recipe, screamed at me and I could not wait … Continue reading Chocolate wheels with nuts

Punjabi chickpeas
So I am officially on holiday, well that was the plan. Every morning my dad still gets me up at the crack of dawn to make him breakfast. Then before he lets me go back to dream land he hints that with all this free time on my hands I can make pies and samosas… … Continue reading Punjabi chickpeas
Bombay eggs
This is the second time I made this dish. The first time, when I attempted it my father got food poisoning the night before and refused to eat anything acidic for breakfast. So that meat even though I had spent the night before chopping 6 tomatoes to make this chutney, he was not interested in … Continue reading Bombay eggs
Quick shells and cheese
Who doesn’t love a bowl of warm comfort carbs, loaded with cheese??? I certainly do… I could pasta every day of my life in every form, shape and size. After a month of not cooking a proper meal, I decided to get back into the game with this dish. It was super easy to make … Continue reading Quick shells and cheese
Lemony greenbeans
Growing up we only had green beans one way, in a curry. Never have I ever had greenbeans any other way, like grilled or sauted or steamed and not even raw. I tired eating raw once, after seeing my swimming coach’s wife munching down on them during a training session. I mean if she was … Continue reading Lemony greenbeans
