This whole wheat apple and cinnamon cake is full of autumnal flavours. It has a slightly firm topping from the demerara sugar and the most delightfully soft crumb. It was bursting with the warm flavour of cinnamon and pieces of apples in each bite. Autumn has truly arrived […]

This chicken pulao is something that I save for special occasions. It is dressed up with an assortment of spices which turn this dish into an indulgent and delightful one pot meal. There are probably a zillion methods of preparing a pot of chicken pulao; and yes, this […]
