I have been terribly late in posting for this year’s Bake-a-thon as you can see multiple posts on the same day as against the schedule of thrice a week. I have been baking 3-4 dishes on the days I have time which has resulted in a flurry of activity, piling of dishes on the sink…

Lemon Tea Cake
Some recipes you bookmark to try later and others tempt you so much that you rush to your kitchen, make it at the earliest and rest only after you have sunk your teeth in a slice. This dish is one of the latter. It was made by Valli earlier in this Bake-a-thon and I saw…
Mint & Olive Bread
Like I said in my previous post, only when you have an ingredient in excess with a limited shelf life, you realize there are so many dishes that can be made with it. My next discovery with mint was the mint flavoured bread with olives in it. It is surely a must try for all…
Stuffed Tomatoes
We have a new vegetable vendor in our complex who gets fresh veggies and fruits and sells them at a reasonable price. As part of his marketing, he has come up with the offer of free tomatoes. Yes, as many as you like. All you need is to have bought at least one other vegetable….
Carrot Cake

Smart girl that I am, I immediately saved up the burger bun recipe for Bake-a-thon. So here it is. Recipe from here. Makes 4 buns WHAT…
Banana Honey Muffins
Life is full of wonderful little surprises. One such is this banana honey muffin I made. I needed to have muffins for my continental breakfast spread I made for the Thali theme last month. I was in a tearing hurry because I need to finish cooking and clicking by 10 in the morning else the…
Eier Kichel
So I bought another cookbook. Yes. Despite having access to millions of recipes online, despite having bookmarked countless recipes from my co-bloggers, despite having cookbooks from which I have tried only a handful of recipes, I bought another one. In my defense…..well, I have no defense. I bought ‘The Hot Bread Kitchen Cookbook’. Aren’t you a…
Anything Goes Burger
There are days when you need to make something but don’t have the ingredients. This recipe is for those days. Want a burger but don’t have much to make a patty? Pick anything and everything in your fridge and pantry and ta da! Your burger is ready. My original plan was to make a lentil…
