I have been blogging more on beverages if you noticed. I mean look at this and this or this avocado smoothie? It is a combination of two things. Cold drinks are LOVELY on a hot hot day. Secondly, during Ramadan, we do crave for all these sweet drinks somehow! Do you guys know this fruit? OR does it look like…
It is already the ninth day of fast And this is going ultrafast. If a shooting star were to fly past, I would have wished for Ramadan to last. With my "original composition" above, it sure feels like the mojo is back! Ramadan is moving at 100000000km/h. Not liking the pace really but loving this Easy Hummus Recipe though. In…
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and Muslims worldwide would engage in fasting from dawn to sunset. I often get non Muslims asking me as to what we can actually eat or drink during the fast. I do know that there are certain religions that allow light food to be taken during a fast. Personally I am…
Ten more days to Ramadan! I am sooo excited! The month I have been waiting for, the most beautiful thirty days in the year according to me. :) Ramadan is always family time for me. I believe it is the same for a lot of other Muslim families too. Somehow during Ramadan, everyone seems to be around the house and…
I was busy with my cousin's good-friend wedding cake over the weekend. The bride wanted a simple and sweet cake. I have done quite a number of wedding cakes over the past few years, but I still get the jitters every single time. It is always in my head that this cake is for someone's big day, so…
Growing up, dessert wasn't something we ate very often. In fact, we rarely ate out back then. When my late dad was still around, eating out every weekend was a norm though. Mom started working 2 years after dad passed away. Expenses were pretty tight and cooking was definitely a better option than eating out. Lucky us, my mom is…
Every day, I wake up at the break of sunshine and from under my super cozy leopard print duvet, I gazed out of the window thinking what a beautiful day it is gonna be. I think of the flowers that are blooming away in my garden. I think of the yummy sandwiches and tea that must be waiting for…
I have been ill *sniffles*. In-fact I am still not well but I am getting better gradually. I was running a temperature and was coughing as loud as a godzilla (yes, they are LOUD), lots of sniffles and I couldn't eat anything. You could have shoved a plate of hot pipping cheese fries right in my face and that would have not tempted…
Dear all, Kindly take note that Shepherd's pie is made with lamb, wherelse Cottage pie is made with beef. I find it disturbing when there is beef in my shepherd's pie and lamb in my cottage pie. I do consume both lamb and beef, but I NEED to know which one I am consuming. It irks me when I wanna…
If there is a competition between the celebrity chefs, I would be holding Nigella's banner in my right hand and Jamie Oliver's banner on the left. There are a few other chefs that I really like; Donna Hay, Anna Olsen and Rachel Allen but my favorite would always remain Nigella and Jamie O. I have tried more of Nigella's…
