Kids go wild when they see cookies, especially chocolate chip cookies. Why kids, even adults can't control their appetite for chocolate chip cookies.

They are so scrumptious and have such a great aroma and texture to them. When

Do vote for your favourite protein rich recipe before 10th Aug'08 in My BlogWhen I started my food blog, which is nearly 5 months ago, I came across many blogs dedicated to baking.

I had been waiting for many months to actually bake these brownies. Almost since I got to eat what Lak had made for us. I got hold of two chocolate bars immediately, in hopes of baking these. But time just flew and these bars had only each other for company, in the cold compartments of the freezer. Well there was this tin of peaches, of course! Not being satisfied, she had to ruffle the devil, Lak

Last week while driving to work, I heard a radio show host mention that a natural way to condition the hair was to apply a combination of mashed bananas, olive oil and leaving it on for about 30 minutes.

Well I thought this to be a cake, but thinking again I decided its a brownie! Yea it wasn't so soft and fluffy, as you would expect a cake to be and it was so easy to make, that's the best part! I was inspired by this Chocolate Brownie and I was just too trilled not to try again. Normally when I get the urge for a cake, I either have to bake my own egg less Black Forest Cake or get from shop. Both sounds so alarming always. Though my Black forest cake comes out yummy, its a kind of work I avoid these days. The last time, Konda wanted a cake at home, I planned for the chocolate fudge the previous day and did the cake the next day! This worked out fine, still its not something I would want to do on a regular basis.Infact, since my oven gave way years back, I never attempted this area of cook

It's always great to have a "sweet start" to a day, and as breakfast is the first important meal of the day, having something sweet in the morning balances your caffeine and also gives you the instant energy to kick-start your day. But at the same time, it's not a good practise to go for a high-calorie, high-fat sugar-packed meal, so opt for something lighter and healthier, like these wonderful Eggless Cranberry-Walnut Breakfast Scones. Low in fat, these semi-sweet scones are packed with the goodness of cranberries and walnuts that make this a healthy sweet treat any time of the day!This recipe is heavily adapted from Jeanne Lemlin's cookbook Vegetarian Classics. She has a Black-currant Buttermilk Scones recipe which I modified to make these cranberry and walnut scones; I essentially chose

When my friend Suzanne heard that my daughter is allergic to eggs, she sent along this recipe for an eggless chocolate cake. It's named after the mother of an old friend of hers who used to make it.

Yes…I did it. At last, I managed to overcome my phobia of baking(Is there a thing called Bake-phobia?;). Some what, I have always stayed away from baking cakes or cookies. I have discovered that when things don’t work out the way I want, they really get to me. My first attempt of baking goes back to my teenage year which was a complete disaster, where I ended up almost setting the house on fire. Since then I have kept myself away from oven until now. Eggless Rich Scones Few days back I watched cookery show where queen of baking Lesley Waters made these rustic looking scones. It looked quite simple and easy to make them and I had all the ingredients except eggs in my pantry which didn’t hinder my enthusiasm. First thing I did before I started baking was switch off the fire alarm;) Then with all courage and determination I started making scones from scratch. I omitted eggs and added more butter and lessened the amount of sugar the original recipe called for. Here is my version of E

Gooey cakes and muffins are one of my specialities when comes to baking ; and lately I have rarely been making them. Last week I suddenly had a strong urge to eat something spongy and sweet. So I came up with this recipe as I had figs lying in my fridge since quite sometime.These tender little cupcakes taste like dessert! The flavour of the baked and caramelized fig is just rich and perfect. A nice steaming cup of coffee/tea with these irresistible cupcakes has to be one of the best combos on a sugar starved evening.(P.S.: The teeny fine sand-like texture inside the figs just adds to the taste in the bite)INGREDIENTS:2 Cup All Purpose Flour/Maida1tsp Baking Soda(not baking powder)1 Cup Packed Brown Sugar1 Cup Seedless Fig.75 Cup Butter1 Cup Veg.Oil1.25 MilkMETHOD:Soak Fig in hot milk for about 2 to 3 hrs.Preheat the oven for 360 degree.Grind the fig with the above milk in the food processor.To this add in the rest of the ingredients and mix it in the food processor.Add the above to
