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.

Kale Chips
On July 22, 2012 by Meghalee Das“Oh my god, why didn’t I try these before”– this was my reaction after eating kale chips.

Poached eggs
On July 20, 2012 by Meghalee DasThis post is only going to be about poaching eggs. I had never eaten poached eggs and thought that preparing them was too messy and complicated.

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.
