Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
I have probably said this before and will say it again – “Chocolate makes the world go around!” And there is something about ‘chocolate cake’ that makes everyone drool! And when it comes to both my children, they usually look for only one word in the dessert menu – yeah you guessed it – chocolate! […]
In the raw cakes world, this would be called a vegan cheese cake. But I found that my followers were a little confused when I posted my first vegan cheese cake made with berries and cashews. So I will just call it ‘cashew cake’. Although it has cashews, coconut and dates too. And maple syrup. […]
A lovely afternoon. A lovely lunch. With a lovely lady. I had been wanting to invite my next door neighbor over for lunch since a few months now. Finally, it happened last week. This lovely lady is actually an octagenarian but behaves nothing like how a typical 80+ yr old would! She is bubbly, energetic, […]
I have to confess…until a few months ago I did not know that there were an increasing number of folks in the world who were following a totally ‘raw foods’ diet! My first reaction was – wow, that’s great – so healthy and ‘no need to cook’! I looked over a lot of raw food […]
OK so ever since I made those beef cutlets with a coconut crust, I have been thinking of using that technique to make other crispy coatings!

Now this is a cake that I have been meaning to make for ever. I have looked at several recipes over the past few years and saved a few too. But somehow not got around baking it. Growing up in Mumbai, Plum Cake was a common pantry item. Yes I am serious – you would […]
What do you do with all those pumpkins you had around your house for decoration? I am sure most of you do use (I do hope you do because seriously otherwise there would be so much wastage of food !) up the pumpkin flesh. Very simple to cut the pumpkin into 2-4 big pieces and […]
OK not going to babble much here. Thanksgiving is tomorrow! One by one the dishes are coming together. We are celebrating as usual with our close friends – we are all a big family 🙂 So I have signed up for only a couple. But you know me, I do have to make an extra […]
Winter is here after all. Sigh. The last few weeks I have been visiting all our local farms to try and stock up on all the fresh apples of this season. Along with apples, there have been a good bounty of pumpkins and squash as well. This past weekend when I scouted the farms again to […]
