This week we continued to try other people’s dishes – it’s a good way to try out different techniques and slightly different flavour combinations. And you can adapt their recipes to suit you, which is the fun part! The first recipe we tried came out of the Thug Kitchen cookbook – it caught our eye … Continue reading
Just like Christmas, Easter is a time to connect with others, unwind and well, also enjoy “celebration” foods. Because we’re not Christian, we think of bunnies, chicks, carrot cake, Easter eggs and TWO Bank holidays. For some of you, it also means eating a whole Easter egg in one day. For others (like us), it’s … Continue reading
Can you believe that it’s almost the end of the first month of 2015?! No, neither can we. This month has absolutely flown by and we’re still trying to wean ourselves off the urge to wish everyone a Happy New Year. Christmas seems like such a long time ago, although the after-effects of the food … Continue reading
We need to tell you about our new favourite obsession – CHOCOLATE BABKA. Now, if you’re American or have spent any time in New York, you probably know all about babka already. Hey, if you’ve watched “that” Seinfeld episode, you too know what a babka is. However, here in the UK it’s relatively unknown – … Continue reading
Being foodies, you can safely assume that we read a lot of blogs, have a lot of recipe books and tear out many pages out of food magazines. All in an effort to find out how the rest of the world is eating, putting together flavours and making use of seasonal ingredients. (And in the … Continue reading
Anchal eats porridge every single day. Jumbo oats, milk, cinnamon, cranberries, flaxseeds and coconut. Tara eats plain yoghurt and granola almost every day. Except for this Sunday. This Sunday we’re going to wing it a bit and try to get ready for what we call “pre-Whole 30” – a lower carb week to prepare for … Continue reading
We love being unintentionally trendy. So Tara recently had her wisdom teeth out which means she couldn’t really chew. Now, as wonderful as an Ice Cream – Mashed Potato – Custard – Soup Diet is, at some point you’ve got to work in a fruit or vegetable if only to stave off the Grumpy Sugar … Continue reading
When we were growing up, our grandmother made almost everything from scratch – yoghurt, paneer (Indian cheese), curries, stir fries, soups, bread, pickles, desserts and even crisps at one point. We say almost, and that was only because she didn’t have room for farmyard animals, if so, we’re sure she would collect her own milk … Continue reading
Last year, we took a little winter trip to Delhi – just us and the other ladies in our family. We got our nails done, shopped a little and ate all the foods we miss during the year. It was so much fun and a great escape into nostalgia. There’s nothing like being able to … Continue reading
Like many people, we’re interested in alternate ways of eating. Just take a look at our Flourless Pizza for example. No flour AND you get to sneak in a vegetable and pretend you’re eating something naughty. So we’re doing it again, but with a well-known breakfast food: pancakes. We’re not strict Paleo eaters but we … Continue reading
