I started to write this post in the morning, but the whole festivity thing got so crazy that I ended up cooking more than I planned. My boys were insistent on eating modaks. Modak is a sweet dumpling made with rice flour, jaggery and shredded coconut. I read up the procedure on the internet last night and […]

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 […]

Elephant Journal: Healing ingredients in my kitchen
Over the past few years, I have begun to believe that healing begins at home. Whether it is the common cold, cough or the flu, there are common ingredients in the kitchen that we can use to keep the illness at bay. Antibiotics is probably the last resort for the boys and me too. I […]
Drinks that help you detox {Staying Healthy}
Late last year, I had begun working on targets and goals that I wanted to set for myself in 2014. One of the to-do targets I wanted to achieve was to write guest posts for some awesome blogs I know, follow and read. After a few rejects, when I was totally disillusioned that the target was […]

Weekend breakfasts – Open sandwiches
I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with cooking. I go between the phases of cooking so many new recipes to resorting to Maggi as a life saver. Being married to a Punju who favours the rajma, choles and the various parathas and managing two boys whose interests vary from bhindi to pasta had me go […]
Easy to make pancakes
I am not the type who likes elaborate recipes. I need something that does not take much time and can be made in a matter of minutes. I hate the cooking on a slow flame for X mins, followed by cooking on a medium flame for X minutes types of recipes. I can’t even to […]
Awesome Veggie Cutlets
One of the most craziest tasks I have in my life is to get my boys to eat their food. They have a varied taste in food, while I would succumb earlier to make something that each one liked, I realized it was not the wisest thing to do in the long run. And being […]
