Say hello to the softest, moistest, fluffiest muffins you’ve ever met! Chocolate chip muffins often disappoint me at coffee shops and bakeries because they wind up being dry, flavourless and not chocolate chippy enough. These guys are the opposite of all of that and they will blow your mind! I can’t believe there isn’t a…

Chocolate Pecan Pie with Honey
A few months ago, I was losing my mind at the Ikea store in Dubai. Apart from buying a whole bunch of super cute, completely unnecessary things (or are wall hooks shaped like chairs integral to one’s existence?), there was a pecan pie at their cafe that may have been my favourite bit of that…
Mocha Chocolate Chip Brownies
On weekdays, coffee makes getting out of bed worth it. But coffee AND brownies? I promise you’ll be leaping up to get to them, alarm or no alarm. Rich, fudgy, full of a great coffee kick aaaand melty chocolate chips to keep things interesting. And if you really want to, you can even make a…
Homemade Croissants
F.I.N.A.L.L.Y. This post has been in the works for a year…maybe longer? Croissants have been a kind of buttery Everest I’ve tried to scale for a long, long time. I slipped and slid a million times along the way but I’m finally so pleased and so relieved to be able to share this post with…
Orange Cranberry Scones (Eggless)
November is a good time to start talking about Christmas baking, right? And I think to kick it off, there’s nothing better than these tender, crispy topped, super easy scones packed with fresh orange zest and dried cranberries. There’s something incredibly festive about them!
Easy Tiramisu
I think diving into a dish of tiramisu is my new favourite life goal. Perfectly coffee-flavoured, light and creamy and just so addictive! This is a simplified version that uses an eggless mascarpone cream so it’s much easier and just as tasty as the authentic version. Let’s do this!
Healthy Peanut Butter Oat & Chocolate Bars (no-bake)
Do you have ten minutes? Great! That’s how long these bars take, I kid you not! No cooking, no baking, just a bit of chocolate melting and you’re done. Sweetened with honey, these snack-y bars are made with oats, creamy peanut butter and really not much else. Stir, spread, chill.
Homemade Nankhatai
Crisp on the outside, softer on the inside and very very simply flavoured, nankhatais are supremely underrated. They are called the Indian version of shortbread and though not everyone agrees with that comparison, I do see why it would have come up. They’re made with ghee which is clarified butter but the idea is the…
Apple Pie with Cream Cheese Crust
I realise Mumbai in October is hardly peak pie-making season, but honestly, we get about three days a year when making dough, rolling it and standing around a hot oven is bearable so….I guess we make pie while the sun shines? And if it’s cinnamon-scented apple pie, with the butteriest, flakiest crust ever that also…
