One of our favourite Chinese restaurants in London is Pearl Liang, in Paddington. We normally go when we have a craving for reasonably priced dim sum in super girly surroundings and it never disappoints. Sometimes though, when we feel a bit er, heavy, we opt for the steamed seabass with vegetables. It sounds so boring … Continue reading
Giant Granola and Chocolate Covered Marshmallows
Happy New Year! Sometimes being a Grown-Up is not what it’s cracked up to be. Sometimes it can be SUPER boring. Being a Grown-Up means cleaning your oven. It means going through bills and calling your electricity provider about your old meter. It means repairing things. It means washing your dishes, doing your laundry and … Continue reading
Mulled Apple Cider
For some reason, it has been quite difficult to get into the Christmas spirit this year. We’ve all been a bit too busy, it is not nearly as cold and snowy as it should be and we all seem to be done with Christmas before it has even started – where are you Christmas?? So … Continue reading
Christmas Shahi Tukda (or Indian Bread Pudding)
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
Date Syrup and Walnut Pudding
Yes! It’s finally December so we can actually embrace Christmas fully and openly. For a few weeks now, we’ve been playing Christmas music on the sly, buying Christmas chocolate and gifts, putting cinnamon on everything, and looking up at the lights on Oxford Street. We even had a mince pie in November. It was sacrilege … Continue reading
Little Paleo Pancakes
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
Spiced Pumpkin with Paneer
Don’t you love autumn? Sure, it’s colder, greyer and (at times) rainier but there’s something about watching the leaves turn yellow, orange and red – a sort of dignified beauty before we descend into the bitter cold, the snow and darkness. We wrap ourselves up in our coats, we pull on our tights, our sweaters, … Continue reading
Ghee
When we were little, we used to sit on the kitchen counter and help our grandmother make rotis. They would usually turn out to be strangely amoeba-like shaped, but we were so proud of them! And the moment they came off the roti pan, our grandmother used to slap a big chunk of ghee on … Continue reading
Turkey Bunny Chow
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
Aloo Paratha Breakfast Burrito
We’re so excited. We just upgraded our favourite paratha! We spent the previous week in the States and dropped by Chicago for a few days to explore the city and try out their trendy food spots. One cute little diner you must visit if you’re ever in Chicago is the Little Goat Diner. (Their mascot … Continue reading
