I made these wholewheat, spinach, cheese and onion scones a few days ago. Every year, like clockwork, as the air turns crisp and the trees begin their slow golden transformation, I find myself drawn back into the kitchen with the same quiet intention: roasted butternut squash soup, and […]

There’s something about roasted butternut squash soup that marks the true beginning of autumn in my kitchen. It’s not the first chilly day or even the leaves changing — it’s that first slow afternoon when I cut open a squash, roast it until the edges caramelize, and let […]

A couple of weeks ago, I made Doi bengena I Aubergine in yoghurt gravy (also known as dahi baingan), and it reminded me why I keep coming back to these simple, everyday dishes. It’s one of those recipes that doesn’t take much to put together, but still feels […]

I made beetroot paratha the other day and am very pleased to report that my non beetroot loving other half and son really enjoyed them. To be honest, I’m the only one who loves beetroot in the family, but looks like we may have a few converts now! […]

This Peanut and Banana Bread was made quite some time ago. This is a wonderful smelling and tasting bread. It had a sort of spongy texture and had a nice bite from the bits of peanuts. I love baking bread- kneading the dough, watching it rise and smelling […]
