Finally. The post that nearly didn’t make it is here. Why? Because for some absurd reason I wasn’t happy with the photos. I made this skillet cookie slash brownie slash brookie (whatever it’s called) and photographed it 4 more times before throwing in the towel and going with this shot. Guess which number this shoot was? The first. Don’t even. Chocolate Chip Skillet Brookie How exactly did this come about?...
We’re going to Italy this summer, so I’m celebrating with this classic Aperol spritz recipe! Aperol spritzes are ultra refreshing, not-too-sweet bubbly cocktails. A proper Aperol spritz tastes like summertime in Italy and looks like a golden orange sunset. I’ll gladly sip one on our front porch now, overlooking our overgrown front yard, and later, with a view of the Italian Riviera. The Aperol spritz has been in the spotlight over the past week, since the New York Times boldly declared that “The Aperol Spritz Is Not a Good Drink....
More on Coconut Burfi Burfi is a popular treat that’s enjoyed as a sweet anytime snack and shared during Indian festivals. A barfi itself is simply a type of soft fudge, and can be made with nearly endless other ingredients to create a wide range of flavors. Coconut Burfi is by far my favorite kind of barfi. There is just the right balance between the super sweet condensed milk and the not-quite-so-sweet coconut....

The added garlic in the lager creates the perfect marinade and flavour combination with the beer. And for extra decadence — a creamy, mushroom beer gravy to top them off. Not necessary. But so good.

About Dahi Bhalla The Punjabi Dahi Bhalla has many cousins, which are well-known in other regions across the Indian subcontinent. Here are some examples: in Hindi, it’s called dahi vada; in Marathi, dahi vade; in Bengali, doi bora; in Odiya, dahi bara; in Tamil, thayir vadai; in Kannada, mosaru vade; in Telugu, perugu vada; and in Malayalam, thairu vada.

Fudgy on the inside; crispy on the outside; a deep dish brownie/cookie full of crushed hazelnuts; then stuffed with melted Nutella, hazelnut wafers and whole hazelnuts to recreate the best chocolates invented.

About This Recipe I have fond memories of eating Frankies. After long shopping trips with friends, we’d normally stop at Linking road, Bandra, Mumbai at a small joint that served the best Frankies! We don’t usually eat Frankies in our home as we prefer to have our roti with vegetable dishes or lentils, but a few family members are fond of wraps so I make them from time to time.

About Fruit Custard Fruit custard is one of those desserts that reminds me of childhood. Growing up, we would eat Carrot Halwa, Rice Kheer, Besan Ladoo or a fruit custard like this one for our sweet treat. Sometimes the fruit custard was served plain, and sometimes my Mom embellished it with fruit jelly. I can still see the labels from the Brown & Polson or the Crown brand custard powders and jars of Rex brand jelly in my mind’s eye!...

About Green Chutney I mean what’s better than a dish that gets done within 15 minutes!
