This week, I have chosen the theme of Cooking for two. Before two years, if someone asked me to cook for two, I would have cooked for five. That is how I was. This came from my mom. She used to call it as periya kai ( large hand which means we take lots of […]
Selecting the candy theme was to help me overcome my fear of candies. I love to work with sugar but when it comes to syrup consistency, I am always at loss. Though I have been successful with some recipes, I still have the fear of the correct consistency. That is why I always use a […]
For the second day of baked treats, let us go to Holland. Also known as Banketstaven / Letterbanket, these Dutch letters were introduced in the US by Dutch immigrants, originated at Pella, Iowa.

Paneer ladoo is an amazing sweet which is so easy to make. After making so many sweets for my daughter, I wanted to make another one for myself. Again I used just the amount of paneer I can have in a day to make these and they were yum. Hubby is not very much into […]
