Get ready for your mind to be blown! This is a classic, creamy, rich, tangy New York-style baked cheesecake. The kind that Rachel and Chandler ate off the floor. I use a digestive biscuit crust instead of graham crackers because that’s what’s easily available in India but it tastes absolutely like the real thing. So…

Healthy Banana Bread (naturally sweetened)
Guys, this wholewheat banana bread is SO GOOD!! I recently revisited it and I’m so glad I did because sometimes it’s easy to forget all about archived recipes on this blog. It’s light, moist, fluffy and sweetened with honey and bananas of course. Chocolate chunks are optional but…..not really.
Homemade Palmiers
Meet the funnest cookies you’ll ever eat! Palmiers are French cookies made with puff pastry and sugar, layered and folded to create a palm leaf shape or ‘elephant ear’ shape. Once you have your puff pastry (homemade or not), these cookies come together in five minutes and look and taste so good, it’s like you’ve…
Homemade Donuts: Glazed & Cinnamon (Eggless)
When I was in school, the neighbourhood Monginis was the epitome of culinary heaven. All our birthday cakes came from there, ‘fun dinners’ came from there, and the only kind of donut I loved before Krispy Kreme came to India, came from Monginis too. Soft, buttery, with a flavour that only old school donuts have. Guess…
Apple Tarte Tatin
I may still be struggling with how exactly to say ‘tarte tatin’ but there’s one thing I’m sure of: it’s AMAZING. Think of it like an upside down pie, with a single crust made of crisp, flaky, homemade, all-butter puff pastry. Caramelised apples with butter and cinnamon become the topping and together, it’s basically the…
Chocolate Chip Cake
Hello! Welcome back to my refreshing-old-posts-so-I-don’t-cringe-looking-at-them-now series. Did you see these brownies? Today, the most classic, most basic (but in no way boring) chocolate cake, studded with tons of chocolate chips. It is RIDONKULOUSLY moist, super soft and impossible to stop eating. You’re welcome!
Healthy Chocolate Banana Muffins (Eggless)
Got a seriously binge-worthy healthy treat for you this weekend! With wholewheat flour and the amazing combination of chocolate and bananas, plus a little peanut butter, no added sugar or fat. These muffins are super soft, moist and so delicious! Yes I added chocolate chips and yes you can leave them out, but I mean,…
Spiced Fig & Walnut Cake
A few weeks ago my Mom sent me photos of a cake she baked on a whim after coming across a recipe online. With figs and walnuts, it looked soooper delicious (and this is coming from me, someone who believes chocolate cake is the only cake worth talking about). Then she visited us and brought…
Chocolate Roll Cake
Whether you call it a Swiss Roll, a cake roll or a roll cake, this is one super fun, very delicious dessert to make. After this mango version happened without any severe catastrophes, chocolate wasn’t far behind! A compact rolled up cake, filled with creamy chocolate ganache, dusted over with icing sugar. It’s pure joy…
