‘You don’t need a silver fork, to eat good food’ This is a dish that we loved as kids, a grab and go from the chapati tin, similar to how a kid from the USA would use a cookie jar. We also used to take them on picnics and when we travelled, much like the …
‘In a world of plain bagels, be a donut with sprinkles’ This is a recipe from Matthew Kenneys Food Future Institute. It uses aquafaba instead of egg to lighten the batter. It is gluten, yeast, dairy and refined sugar free. It is also baked instead of fried, so guilt free too! It tastes a bit …
I found this recipe whilst I was in a waiting room, in a clean eating book called, ‘A good food day’.

‘Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit.’ I love discovering new ingredients in the farmers market. This year I found baby corn. Baby corn is actually the early picked maize. At this point it is softer and has less starch and sugar. I bought little ears …
‘The smell and taste of things remain poised a long time, like souls, ready to remind us…’ This is a beautiful moist gluten free cake from Nik Sharma of a brown table. It is a beautiful blog and there is always an interesting culinary twist to be inspired by. This cake caught my eye due …
Soup in the summer may seem counterintuitive, however from an Ayurvedic perspective, our bodies when hot on the house side, cool down on the inside and so does our agni/digestive power. We also tend to overload our systems with raw food (harder to break down and therefore to absorb the nutrient value of our food), …
This is taken from Divya Alter’s summer recipes. It’s a sweet-sour, creamy and refreshing and more nourishing than ice cream. The cashews make for a rich dessert so you don’t need much to feel satiated. That did not stop Mr. B from having two. The balance of sweet and sour is perfect. I reduced the …
