If you were to share the top two things that you enjoy doing the most what would those be ? For me they are writing and baking in that order. With reading as a close third. If I could spend all my days doing just these , I would. And that’s the thought that crosses…

Chemicals or Calories & a bit about Natural Sweeteners
On 5th August, Sunday, I did a knowledge sharing session at the Small Bites Children Dental Clinic The session covered aspects of how to explore the route to using natural and healthy forms of sweeteners. The focus when we speak about healthy eating in present times should link up to counting the Chemicals, not the Calories….
Kids who go everywhere & Gluten-free Quinoa Dark Chocolate Cake
I met a friend for lunch today. We do some freelance work together, which her firm leads and one of the things she asked me while we chatted was about where we leave our children when we want to go out, just my husband and me. My reply ( almost too quickly!) was “We don’t…
Giving it one last shot & Gluten-Free Jowar Coconut Almond Cookies
Sometimes all it takes is perseverance. Nothing else works. As a mother, I persevere each day to find pockets of calmness that I can then share with those around me. As a working woman who needs to work from home, I persevere to keep looking for those who realize that one’s life phase of motherhood…
Experimental baking & Gluten-free Walnut-crusted Baked Fish Fillets
There is a lot of scepticism when it comes to unusual , different , experimental flavours in baking. Especially if you have those in the traditional bakes – the cakes, the cookies, the pies and tarts, the breads. And because I am a healthy and inclusive #baker a lot of my baked stuff is viewed in the…
Gearing up to start 2018 and the Wholewheat Coconut Almond cake
Gearing up to start 2018 The cupboard can definitely be cleaner but that’s the best I can manage with a 5 year old and a 6 month old acquiring new personalities in 2018 – while one has discovered that she has a voice and she must use it at the highest pitch possible , the…
Being “Grounded” and Gluten-free, Vegan Spicy Jeera Crackers
The lady who was my house help at my previous home came to meet me a couple of days ago. We started catching up about each other’s lives – her by asking me about how I was coping up with the baby and me by asking her about whether she had found sufficient work. Somewhere…
Football Buddies and Semolina Orange/Kinu Cupcakes
There is a moment of calm at the point where a super tiring day ends and a sleepless night begins – that moment is this picture for me. Football buddies don’t need to have the same shoes or shoes at all. They don’t need to speak the same language. They don’t need to wear similar…
The Sounds of the Night and Eggless Gluten-Free Ragi Amaranth Chocolate Biscuits ( Vegan version also)
It’s 3 weeks since we welcomed our second baby into this world – our little girl. As it is with newborns – the erratic pattern that sets in with their arrival , seems to be overwhelming at first. You start taking it a day at a time. Then you tell yourself that as a second…
Second pregnancy & Zero-Fat No-Flour Baked Chicken Cutlet
How does your second pregnancy feel different emotionally from your first one? I have never asked that question to anyone, but I did ask myself. And the responses from within were mixed, confusing, unclear – Because as you get ready to welcome your second baby, you also look at your first one, with a lot…
Uncharted adventures, not milestones..and a Wholewheat Eggless, Butter-free Chocolate Almond Cake
This is not a regular Mother’s Day post – I am using this post to simply share my thoughts again – thoughts that I shared when my son ( and I !) turned 6 months old. More than anything else – what is exactly the same as I re-read this piece from May 2013, is…
4/11 City- Cologne/Koln, 4/11 Healthy Bake: German Apple Pie in a Barley-Oats Crust
Cologne / Koln, November 2008: the only thing I knew about it was that this was the first European city I was going to visit, it sounded exotic and I was going to be attending a conference by Chemicals organizations there. That was it. Strange as it may sound, my excitement was centered around meeting my…
