Corn on the Cob: Fast, easy, & No Mess!

Corn on the Cob: Fast, easy, & No Mess!

My sister in law turned me on to this technique a few months ago, and I’ve used it twice since then.  I don’t think I’ll ever go back to my old method of doing corn on the cob! I love corn, but I hate all the mess and hassle.  I’ve always boiled my corn, but it’s such a pain to heat up the giant pot of water–it takes time.  And I HATE shucking corn.  It’s messy, and it gets…

Spinach Salad with Strawberries and Lemonette Dressing

Spinach Salad with Strawberries and Lemonette Dressing

Bright spring spinach with tender young shoots and dark green leaves are a tasty and healthy addition to any salad. The slightly bitter leaves are well paired with the tart sweetness of young strawberries, slices of oranges or tangerines, and complemented by the crunchiness of candied walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts or even peanuts.

These potato patties are crispy on the outside & soft inside, really delicious. I like adding Corn Beef to my recipe but the meat is optional.

Croissants you can conquer

This recipe stems from Julia Child’s traditional Croissants and Pain au Chocolat recipe. It might seem a bit daunting at first, but you realise that’s because each step is really detailed out, to help walk you through the entire process. It makes something so complicated and challenging quite a cakewalk. And you’re sure to feel so proud of yourself at the end. So, if you’ve been…

Spaghetti with Bacon and wine + Italiano Grilled Peppers

Spaghetti with Bacon and wine + Italiano Grilled Peppers

One of my all-time favorite dishes has been the Penne with Bacon at one of Delhi’s first few Truly Italian restaurants- The Big Chill. Not only does the place hold a lot of special memories for anyone who has been in the age group of 18-26, during that time, but till date, it serves some wonderful food and scrumptious desserts. In due course of time, I have grown over my need to pay a visit there every week, and onl…
