Mushroom are mysterious things. They sprout from the ground for no apparent reason, round, soft and spongy, smelling of wet earth, burnt clay, grass and all sorts of undiscovered things. I don’t consider them as plants – they certainly don’t taste like them. They taste like the earth, the sun that nourishes them and they taste like water, if water ...
The Darling was craving pizza and there was absolutely no way around it. I however is not a huge pizza fan (I have my moods when it comes to pizza and other ‘junk food’ in general’ and that day was not one of those days). So we did our research. We were aiming at this one place which was famed ...
I was making almond milk the other day and was appalled by the sheer amount of almond meal that I had to throw out. I for one, am quite fond of almonds and would not tolerate the waste, in fact I have never been one who supports food waste. So I mixed some ingredients together, and it came out quite ...
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything here. I’m not making any excuses for myself but it’s been a hectic time for me. And one of the happier reasons I’ve been occupied lately is this – Homemade on Hi TV!I’ve been doing this for quite sometime now but I’m ashamed to say that this is the first time ...
Am I crazy for feeling the seasonal vibes already? I know it’s still October, but hey, I’m already in the vibes. On that note, let me take you to my last Christmas. One of the most magical, memorable Christmases I’ve had. And we happened to spend it at the Ritz-Carlton in Bangalore. A Christmas fit for a Queen (and ...

I had imagined that once I get my hands on that thing homemade pasta will magically make themselves and we shall have freshly rolled pasta every day.So the day I stumbled upon a good ol pasta machine at the Titus Stores where I was ...

So it is the rainy season again. Rain turned to floods and look at the devastation the island suffered at the hands of it. And the rain just keeps on pouring, as if doesn’t care at all.As beautiful as the rain is, it makes me sad what havoc it can create. We’ve done all that we could and we haven’t ...
Step on to the streets and you could see that not only the people, but also nature is getting ready for Avrudu. The mango trees are heavy with fruit and we pluck them by the hand and spend these sweltering hot afternoons eating mangoes on the veranda. Sweat trickling down our backs and mango dribbling down our chins, laughing despite ...
‘Tis not only the season to be jolly, ‘tis the season of utter and absolute decadence as well! Decided to go with yet another sweet treat for the Christmas table. Chocolate fudge. We won’t be celebrating in the usual shamelessly ostentatious manner as the earlier years this time since we are mourning the bereavement of a dearly beloved but we ...
With so much of junk food around playing the devil with our senses with temptation, it’s takes an extra effort to stay healthy these days. Although trying to stick to a healthy diet, the occasional slice (or half the entire thing) of pizza, a stray hamburger, various pastries and Chinese rolls wander their way towards my mouth occasionally (well more ...
Don’t you just love a good muffin straight out of the oven on a lazy afternoon? I know I do.The hubby creature being the muffin monster that he is, has been craving for muffins several days now. I’ve been putting it off for days – but it was time he had something homemade. Too much delaying and I will most ...
For me, nothing compares to the smell of apples and spices baking away in the oven. It’s immediately reminiscent of Christmas and warmth it brings with it – the smell of stewing fruit along with aromatic spices. For me, apple crumble or apple pie baking in the house is the perfect air freshner – that comforting smell which converts a ...

The most popular recipes of 2017In 2017, I turned 30.2017 had been a busy year. There were quite a few significant milestones achieved, quite a lot of challenges faced, choices to be made – it was hardly eventless. But I am content. Every step I’ve taken, every decision made has led me to being a newer, more enlightened person and ...
Apologize for the long silence, but I’ve been quite occupied as of late. The reason being me taking up fitness training, more so as a method of getting my family involved in it. Too much food (and God knows there’s so much of it around in my place) was getting them round and homey and it was up to me ...
Blondies are my new obsession.No, not THOSE blondies, the ones that you bake in the oven and eat.Ok now that sounds even more disturbing.Anyways, I made these white chocolate and cherry blondies some time back and everybody absolutely loved it. Including myself. Following up on that (and my taste buds still remember and mouth waters at the memory), I decided ...
If you ask me, the Green season is my absolute favorite season to be in the south by the sea. And the few days we spent at Sri Sharavi Beach Villas, one of the most outstanding Mirissa hotels I’ve been to, have been nothing short of magical. The first thing you see out your room of this beautiful boutique ...

I will go as far as to say that this is a unique Sri Lankan hybrid that we should be very much proud of. Yes? Bacon and egg being a classic western breakfast, if anyone should come up with a snack that captures the goodness of this breakfast within a buttery, flaky pastry, it should be us – this melange ...
