We’re back baking at the Bread Baking Babes once again. This month, we’re giving our ovens a rest as Karen chose Steamed Bao Buns for us to make. This turned out to be a good thing for me, as my oven has started dying on me. Steamed Bao Buns are Chinese yeasted buns with fillings….
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…

I’m really late with this month’s Bread Baking Babes a.k.a BBB bread which is a Yeasted Plum Coffee Cake with an Oatmeal Streusel Topping. Actually, Judy picked a Zoe Francis recipe for Yeasted Blueberry Coffee Cake. I don’t get blueberries here so I went with plums instead. This Yeasted Plum Coffee Cake uses a brioche dough…
I have been seeing a lot of carrot cakes on food blogs and food sites over the past year. This particular carrot cake really caught my eye. That recipe inspired me to finally bake a carrot cake. An abundance of winter carrots helped. I didn’t want a carrot cake with pineapple in it. I also wanted a…
