What I learnt this week – some insights and nuggets

So, it’s been a long while since I wrote on this. I have wanted to write quite a few little things but it slipped my mind. Here is a small list of what I remember. Will keep updating this- 1. When you begin to bake, it is best to start with recipes with a minimal…

Eggless Orange Crumble

So over the weekend I had this grand idea of a doing a ‘fruit based baking’ week on this blog. So as a beginning to that I baked my banana bread again which was just as delicious and heart warming as ever. Today I thought could be an orange baking recipe. The husband likes to…

Eggless Awesome Banana Bread

This recipe holds a special place in my heart because it was the first one I baked. And also because it was the first one to taste so awesome and delicious and it made quite a few of my family and friends to sit up and take notice of me as some force to reckon…

Bread Rolls – anyway and everyway

Eggless Orange Poppy Seeds Muffins

My brother is visiting me this week and he is a big fan of the pictures I send him of my baked stuff. He has only tasted one banana bread which turned out perfectly. So he thinks I am a great baker. Poor guy, he is in for a small shock. I am a decent…

Eggless Chocolate Banana Cake with Chocolate Frosting

I did this last month for my daughter’s first birthday, hence the excess use of gems and lychees. My original plan was to make the layered chocolate cake from Joy of Baking. But then my parents decided to come and they do not have eggs. So I needed a new chocolate cake recipe without eggs….
