This might look like your average, artisan white loaf. Nice, but nothing special. Until… …you open it up and find a treasure trove! (Of curry.) Bunny chow is a uniquely South African-Indian dish and depending on who you ask, either 1) came about as a handy way to transport food to the field-workers or 2) … Continue reading

Granny’s Tandoori Mackerel
(How cute is this little fillet?) So here’s where we let you in on a fantastic mackerel recipe, truly the best way (in our opinion) to cook and eat this wonderful oily (omega 3s!), slightly salty fish. When we were growing up, we weren’t wild about fish. I mean, we were generally seriously picky eaters. … Continue reading
Flourless “Margherita” Pizza
Can you believe that this pizza is absolutely flourless? And can you believe that the crust is actually made of….cauliflower? Yes it’s true! We were trawling the foodie internet world some time ago and came across this amazing concept. We couldn’t wait to try it! And sure, it doesn’t taste exactly like regular pizza, but … Continue reading
Chilli and Papaya Raita
Finally, London is experiencing temperatures worthy of a summer! Now, as much as we want to live on a diet of ice cream (in yummy waffle cones!) when summer hits, the Grown Up versions of us know that we should probably try to aim for some nutrition too. Growing up in India, plain homemade yoghurt … Continue reading
Brie and Sweet Potato Gratin
Gratin dauphinois is such a crowd pleaser. Who doesn’t love sliced potatoes cooked in a creamy sauce and covered in cheese? The dish made very regular visits to our family table whether for a special occasion or for Sunday lunch and so, this is our example of a nostalgic, comforting dish, just like mac and … Continue reading
Plantain alla Parmigiana
Oh how we miss Italy! As you might have seen from our pizza post, we recently visited Rome for a weekend to re-acquaint ourselves with Italian culture, the fabulous fashion and architecture…and most importantly, the food! As soon as we booked the flight and hotel, we made a list of food we absolutely had to … Continue reading
Romano Pepper and Roast Garlic Square Pizza
So we’ve just returned from a magical weekend in Rome which has re-ignited our love for pizza and all things carb-related. We usually try to be healthy and exercise some kind of self-restraint, but before we went, we vowed to go to town on Italian food. And we really did. We dined on beautiful pasta, … Continue reading
Punjabi Black Dal
Black gram or sabut kali urad dal in Hindi, is Tara’s favourite type of lentils. Because if you’re Indian, you’re aware that there are many different types of lentils and you’ve most likely tried every type by the time you’re 6 years old. And by then, you’ve figured out you have a favourite. In fact, … Continue reading
Roast Garlic and Carrot Soup with Tahini
Sometimes life can get a little hectic. We fill up our days with lots of activities and errands, fun things and quite a lot of not so fun things. We cook, we clean, we work, we shop, we fix, we organise, we collect, we travel, we socialise. We’re trained to be as productive as possible … Continue reading
Warm Farmer’s Market Salad
Going to the farmer’s market is so exciting. Not only can you buy organic fruit and vegetables that are actually in season in your country, speak to vendors who know exactly how their fish/meat/fruits/vegetables/juice/ baked goods are produced or sourced and buy food that is local, it gives you the opportunity to try some new … Continue reading
