I first ate Dutch Crunch Bread in Portugal many, many years ago. We came across it in the bread aisle while shopping for groceries. It was labeled Pao Tigre (or Tiger Bread) and so pretty to look at, I had to buy it. A beautifully textured light and brown cracked crunchy crust is the hall…
My year end baking has been restricted to the minimum this time. We’re going to be travelling a bit the last weeks of December. In fact, I’m on holiday right now. I did bake a few cookies though before we left including these Crisp Almond Cookies. I will be baking a lot more in the…
All the Christmas baking I’ve been seeing on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest has got to me. I’ve given into the temptation of baking something that’s totally Christamassy!

Today, I share my recipe for Thengai Burfi or Coconut Fudge. This sweet in not really fudge as it is known in the western world. Yet, that’s the closest I can come with an English word to describe the Indian Burfi. This burfi needs just three ingredients – fresh coconut, sugar and water. Cardamom and…
Mangoes were very much around this summer, and I tried packing as much of it into our meals as I could. Fresh fruit is really the best way to eat mango and we did plenty of that. Mango is never unwelcome in our home, fresh or in any other form. Today I’m sharing my Egg…
