Flavoured tea, of any flavour is an easy way to impress anyone. It is a refreshing welcome drink for guests as well as for the husband 😉 , after he comes back from work. With mercury soaring high in most parts of the country, drinks with fruits are a good way to stay hydrated. This is definitely a healthier and wallet-friendly alternative to packaged drinks. Mango is one fruit that everyone likes, though each one has a favourite variety. I have sat through arguments when one person from Kolkatta would say Langda is best, a person from Lucknow will say…

Barbeque Chicken in Orange Sauce
My mantra is to keep meals simple, use as many fresh ingredients as possible and not to use many flavours.

Red Wine Terrine
I have been wanting to make red wine terrine for some time but did not get an opportunity. Finally got an opportunity to make it for a friend who was shifting house. after a hectic day , Wine terrine is a perfect dessert.

Thankfully my daughter was not around and I did not have to explain her why she could not eat it. As I am a big fan of single serves, I set a…
