How To Make An Upside-Down Cake With Any fruit
Whenever I bake, I have this childish habit of knocking the cake pan on the counter-top thrice and crossing my fingers to make sure it is a good bake. As much as I love experimenting with recipes, wasting ingredients is something that annoys me very much. So I take some help from lady luck to…
Papaya, Orange & Turmeric Smoothie
Recently, I was asked to create a few recipes for a health and wellness publication. The recipes needed to use papaya as the main ingredient.

It’s getting hot, hot and hotter by the day. Some days are hot and humid and that is the worst combination ever. And on days like that, the best things to eat should come straight out of the freezer, icy cold and delicious. But if I had ice cream every day during the Texan summer,…
