Cop A Plea To Original Zin
Wrapping sausages in something is not unique to the USA or my country, the UK. A quick search will reveal sausages wrapped in something from China (a steamed bun) to Israel (ketchup and Phyllo dough over a kosher dog) and from Argentina to Estonia.

Homebaked Happiness
There are a lot of really special places, scents, and sights during the holidays. Christmas tree farms, crisp winter air, hot chocolate, apple cider, and peppermint everything. But unmistakably, the most comforting scent and place during the holidays is the heart of the home: the kitchen. Everything happens in the kitchen during the holidays - countless meals, fellowship, love, and laughs. My favorite kitchen activity in December? Baking homemade sugar cookies to decorate with royal flood icing. There have been several times (this year is one of them) where I have had to be, ahem, creative with gift giving. Those are the really special years where I go hog wild, pig crazy in the kitchen with endless cookie tins. I mean, I bake for days. The rest of the house rolls their eyes at me just a little bit...until I share some of the delicious goods, that is. By the end of the baking session, both myself and the kitchen are covered in flour and royal icing but there are some beautiful and scrumptious cookies to share with friends and family!

Easy to do French Macarons
It all started when I went overseas and had macarons for dessert. I had not tried them in the U.S. yet. No one I knew at the time ever had any. It was quite an experience. I didn't know a delicate little cookie could be crispy and soft and flavorful. I had to find out how to make them. Doing research about these cute little patisseries was at first disheartening. Everybody talked about how difficult it was. Everybody said how easy it was to fail. They said if your oven was off by even a little, the macarons would be ruined. With a little coaxing and reassurance from my husband, I decided to try anyway. I tried a couple recipes until I finally got the delicate cookies right! Then, I wondered what made these so difficult. What could I do to make this process a bit better? That is how this recipe came about. I hope it helps you the way it helped me and makes macaron baking a bit less intimidating.

Cheese and Wine
We all need to eat to survive, however I think we can all agree that there’s a profound beauty in the finding perfect blend of the right flavours. Different tastes identifying themselves individually but somehow still creating something unique - Sweet and salty, hard and soft, creamy and fruity, light and heavy. The moment two opposing flavours meet in your mouth and they’re no longer just themselves, they’re something brand new. Chef Remy was right when he said, “Good food is like music you can taste (and) color you can smell.” When the right pairing is found, its magic.

Glass Of Wine, Bowl Full Of Penne Pasta And Some Soulful Music- Perfect!
Everyone has their own ways of enjoying Red wine. For some people red wine and cheesy chips are a guilty pleasure, some like to have it with Plum cake but Red wine with white sauce pasta is like a guilty pleasure. And to top it all, I like to add some slow and soothing music, like violin music after all I am a music lover, therefore can't help it.

Indian Flavors conjure comfort and creativity in 2020
Indian food has always been my depression food, my ultimate comfort food to take me away from the aches and pains, a case of the blues and the heavy tears. This year has been a standout year for indulging in the flavorful spices that send me back to a happy little realm like the food critic taking a bite of the ratatouille in the Disney movie of the same name.
