Dinner Rolls or Buns
On March 20, 2013 by Meghalee DasI know I have been missing since 6 months but that was because I busy with certain other engagements. After a lot of threats and requests from my friends, I have decided to start posting regularly again. There have been many changes in the last few months; I went to India and had a great
Molten Lava Cake
On August 1, 2012 by Meghalee DasThere are some recipes which require a lot of precision and alertness because a few extra seconds can change the texture of the dish.

Bread Pudding
On July 26, 2012 by Meghalee DasBefore I start the recipe, I would like to mention that exactly one year ago I had posted my first recipe in this blog and today, as I write my 50th post, I would like to thank everyone who has encouraged me and who shares my enthusiasm about food and writing. When I started this
White Bread
On July 23, 2012 by Meghalee DasThis is a simple recipe for making plain white bread. I have used all-purpose flour instead of bread flour, and no eggs.

Pound cake
On May 9, 2012 by Meghalee DasPound cake is a slightly dense and moist type of cake which was usually made with a pound of butter, eggs, flour and sugar. But nowadays as families are getting smaller, the traditional quantity is seldom used and rather all the ingredients are used in a ratio of 1:1:1:1. This makes the recipe really easy
Lemon cheesecake
On April 11, 2012 by Meghalee DasLemon cheesecake is a perfect dessert for brunch or dinner during spring and summer. The tangy, lemony taste is refreshing and unlike other cheesecakes, which tend to be heavy, this tastes light and airy. I had planned to make it for Easter but due to lack of time I chose to skip dessert and only
Challah Bread
On April 3, 2012 by Meghalee DasI have been thinking of baking bread since many days but just don’t get the time or it doesn’t feel like something worth the effort. But this bread looked so pretty that I thought of giving it a try and I don’t regret it because the house smells heavenly! Challah, pronounced Hahlah, is a Jewish
