The 11-odd pounds of peaches we picked the other day actually decided to ripen at once, that too on day 3. There were only so many ripe peaches and glasses of peach milkshakes a family of three could possibly devour. Initially I thought of jam. But that was too predictable. And we don’t consume a…
Pineapple And Ginger Agua Fresca
Agua Fresca, which literally means fresh water, is a Mexican/Central American cool drink. It is made by pureeing fruit (any ripe, seasonal one can be used), straining it and mixing with cold water. I know I’ve said earlier that I love milkshakes. But can you imagine, the possibilities there are to something as simple and…
Strawberry Focaccia Bread {With Cinnamon Sugar}
If someone asks me what inspires me to cook, I would say it depends on the feedback of a man and a boy – my hubby and son. When the bigger one goes for seconds, sometimes thirds, I know he truly likes what I’ve cooked. He rarely talks with his mouth full. I know its…
Fresh And Juicy Strawberry Popsicles / Ice Pops
I am back with another frozen treat. This time it’s the super easy, light and refreshing strawberry popsicles (or ice pops, ice lollies, stick ice or whatever it is called in your neck of the woods). Done right, popsicles are the perfect summer dessert. Cold, refreshing, fruity and what’s more, it comes on a stick!…

End Of Summer Bounty And Some Quick Recipes
We used to visit a Farmer’s Market this summer. It was a fun place, with lots of fresh produce, lively music and livelier people! Once we came home with quite a lot of vegetables, mainly, red okra, brinjal/eggplant and button mushrooms. I had planned to blog about it, but it somehow got lost in my Drafts…
How We Had Fun This Summer
Summer heat is tough. But I love it because of all the sunshine and long daylight hours. Want to know what we did so far? We blew bubbles, or rather ‘shot’ them out of a bubble gun! We are enjoying the flowers in our little garden. And I got a little ‘bokeh’ effect going on…
Easy Oven Grilled Chicken With Homemade Marinade
Usually, I make simple Indian style fried chicken with ginger, garlic, red chili powder and garam masala. But this time, I decided to change it up a bit. I was inspired by all the summer time barbecue and grilling recipes. So I came up with this simple marinade to grill some chicken. We do not have…
