Summer’s here and so are mangoes. A Mango Ice-cream has been on my mind for a while. Unfortunately, an ice-cream was out of question as my husband and I are eating vegan for a couple of months. It’s just a temporary thing and we will back to eating milk and dairy soon. So then the…
I have found that there are two kinds of people when it comes to cabbage. The first sort are those who cannot see anything good in it. The other kind, like me, quite enjoy cabbage provided it is treated well. I’ve even made a Payasam/ Kheer with cabbage that’s so good. That said, my love…
I have been on an ice-cream/ gelato making spree of sorts. You can blame it on the hot, hot summer. Thankfully, this summer is over and the monsoons are here. However, I have a variety of my summer time ice-creams/ gelato to share with you all. Today it’s Vegan Coconut Gelato. I’m from Kerala and…

I don’t know if you’re familiar with the…
It is bread making time at the Bread Baking Babes once again. Karen picked Red Pepper Coques for us to make. Coques are the Catalan flat breads that are thin and crunchy flatbreads that can be found across the Mediterranean. They’re similar to flatbreads like the Turkish Lahmacun and French Pissaladiere. Catalan Coques can be…
It’s the same old hot summer story, watermelon again, and yet another salad. I’m sorry if I’ve been boring you with watermelon recipes but I have to survive my summers. So I’m warning you all that there will be a couple more watermelon recipes before this summer is out. Just bear with me for this…
I can see some of you thinking, Watermelon Rind Marmalade? Yes. The watermelon is a fruit of which almost every part can be eaten. The flesh, of course is edible. So are the seeds, just like pumpkin seeds. Once you peel the outermost green coloured skin, the rind can be used in many ways. They…
