Mug Cakes Recipe {Guest Post}
The blogging world has an uncanny way of connecting people. This year when I was searching for cake designs for my son’s fifth birthday, I started interacting with Gauri, a professional baker to take ideas on what options I could have in cakes. You know having twins with diverse opinions was not an easy task. […]
Vanilla Sables with Orange Jelly {Recipe}
We’ve known each other for close to a decade and a half. Yet, food was the last thing we talked about. Colleagues at our “first jobs”, we were far too busy trying to figure out what we wanted to do than concentrate on what we would love to do. Facebook got us together after a […]

Modak is a sweet dumpling made with rice flour, jaggery and shredded coconut. I read up the procedure on the internet last night and […]
Italian Cook-off at Prego, Westin Pune {PuneMusings – Vol 2}
Last weekend I was invited for an Italian Cook-off with Chef Giuseppe Lioce at Prego, Westin, Pune. I had never attended a cook off and yes I was curious to know what it would be all, so I decided to be a part of it. And of course, the other motive was to let you all know what’s […]
PuneMusings – Vol 1 {PuneMusings}
I haven’t been as frequent in making the posts as I would have liked to. The reason being I was chalking out some definite post options for my blog and trying to streamline some thoughts and ideas. A few months ago I sent out mails to some of my readers asking what else would they […]
Food Sampling @ PVR bluO Pune
I love food. Correction, I love good food. I was recently invited to sample the food at PVR bluO, Pune, located in Phoenix Mall. I have passed by the place a zillion times but never stepped inside it because I thought it was yet another hangout for the teens – a bowling place that served […]
