“There is no love sincerer than the love of food.” – George Bernard Shaw. The husband spent some time during his early working years in the city of Hyderabad and has quite a few food memories of the place. The thoughts of the biryanis and haleems haunt him off and on, and on more than a …
Just when I thought I was running out of things to put into my Brownies! Thanks Laura for this theme for this month’s cookies ! Seriously, it’s no secret that I love making brownies and blondies. And I will stir / swirl anything into them. Nuts and chocolate chips and cream cheese are the usual …

“It’s the chemistry between the ingredients and the cook that gives desserts life. “- Anna Olsen . Something a little different from the usual today. Different for me atleast.
