End of September we went to London and then from there straight we went to Leave Shyama to her college in Leuven.

The September 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Mandy of “What the Fruitcake?!” Mandy challenged everyone to make Decorated Sugar Cookies based on recipes from Peggy Porschen and The Joy of Baking.Of course there was a condition, we had to make a cookie decoration acording the Sepember theme.And as it was Ganesh Chaturthi a Hindu Festival and I was seeing so much post every whereabout

As most of you know Shyama is going to College soon so, last wenesday She and I went wenesday to the University town, as from wenesday she could access the room she will be staying.It is a good size room for one person, and they have a huge kitchen which she will have to share with few other kids.S and I went to the locak supermarket there and stocked up few tinned things, water, cola, cookies ,

Saturday I had asked Apolina of Bombay-Bruxelles and Marion of Crumbles et Cassonade for a day to my place. We have been wanting to do that for a while especially in the summer, but summer holidays has been busy so I asked them to my home and they accepted my invitation.I knew we would have lots of fun, and Indeed we had.It is always nice to meet other people who have the same passion of cooking

Remember I told you in one of my earlier post that I celebrated Onam for the first time here in so many years, well and if your remeber I did say it was not a fully traditional one.And one of the dishes I made for my guest was this Delicous Creamy Keral style Prawn curry.I have never seen a couple of people snatching the bowl of a dish so fast.And everybody went for second and third helping.I

Here kids go for summer job for a month from when they are 16 years.And when Shyama turned 16 she coudn’t go as we went to India for holiday, and she was always complaning that her friends are doing summer job and she coudn’t.So from last year she has been doing summer job in a private owned shop and there are 4 women who works there and they all are really nice to her and they like her a

Before I write the post I have to tell that My Kitchen Treasures is moved from mykitchentreasures.blogspot.com to http://www.mykitchentreasures.com/Looks like summer as gone from our side of the world. The weather has been really bad in August. I don’t remember a year when we had such bad August, it has been dull, rainy and windy.We live just less than 10 minutes walk from the beach and can you

Begning of this Month when I read what the challenge was for this month I was really excited as I have never made baked Alaska.But then days passed by and then we had few parties at home and was always busy etc….that I almost went to the forumn to tell them that I am not joining this month.But then the last minute I changed, and boy am I so glad I did it.As when I served this for hubby and

For almost 7 weeks I didn’t bake anything. That is not totally true , I baked for last months Daring Bakers. But other than that, I have not been baking.I have been using my oven, but then to drill meat etc but not for baking.Not that I didn’t want to bake, it is just that it is summer here and one is so busy doing out door activities than staying inside the home for baking.Few days back when we

Today I am going to jump into the recipe as I have nothing to right, I have been sitting here and thinking what i should write but nothing pops up, I guess I should blame FB for it, when ever something happens I just write there.So here goes the recipe for this delicous Chicken wings.Actually I don’t have a exact measurement to what I add.15 Chicken wings ( I remove the skin as my family don’t

When Barbara mailed me and asked if I want to join them Tour de France project, the first thing I told her is I don’t like any kind of sports and I don’t watch any :-)But then Barbara mailed back saying it has nothing to do with the sports it has to do with the food from the region.Well that I can do I told her and I was delighted to pe part of the group.There are 20 stages in Tour de France and

For me it is not normal if I don’t bake any sweet.And you would be surprised to hear I have not been baking for 2 weeks.
