If there’s one thing I truly believe, it’s this: the best part of any festival is the food. And when it comes to Indian festivals, we really do go all out — each region bringing its own magic to the table, quite literally. This year, I made Moong […]

I made these Coconut Sandesh last week for Lokkhi Puja, but I’m only getting around to sharing them now—and honestly, they’re too good not to post. These delicious treats came together so quickly, were not overly sweet, and were such a hit, I knew I had to write […]

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 […]

This roasted butternut squash and potato pitika (Assamese-style mash) is the kind of dish that wraps you in the quiet comfort of home, even when you’re miles away from it.

I’ve been making these sage and red onion sausage rolls for years. When the kids were small, they decided they were far too fancy to be called regular sausage rolls — and so they became known as Mum’s Posh Sausage Rolls. The name stuck, and honestly, it makes […]

Over the past month or so, you’ve seen me sharing updates—about food, moving around, hosting guests, socialising, striking a pose, and just life in general. I’ve been feeling stronger and continuing to rebuild after my transplant in March last year. Physically, that still holds true as of today. […]
