I want to go to a museum. Right now. In this, a museum-less town, I want, at this very moment, to be in a room full of rich tapestry. I want to behold the majestic sparkle of centuries old crystal chandeliers. I want to witness the struggle of crackling paint as it is firmly held [...]
Mujaddara and why I don’t like going to Mosques.
Kung Pao Shrimp
Rant with a side of potatoes
Doha Blues
So 2014 is about to come to an end. Cannot say it was an uneventful year. Started off sorta slow but still exciting as I had just started working at the school which is a whole different experience altogether. Travelling! There was a bit of travelling involved oh yes! I went to London over the [...]
Tomato and Mozzarella Linguine
Cinnamon Rolls
Fried Potato Cakes
Potato? Gooddd! Meat? Goooddd! Deep Fried meat and potato? *Tim Allen grunting* good good goooddd! Is it healthy? errmm not so much. But hey the minced meat had carrots and celery in it. That’s gotta count for something right? I’m just kidding though it’s not deep fried. All you health freaks out there don’t get [...]
Buko Pandan
I just recently tried this really awesome Filipino dessert called Buko Pandan. It’s basically just cream and lots of coconutty awesomeness. Super easy to make and when served in little shot/dessert glasses it looks like a flashy hotel-buffet style dessert hah. It is mind-bogglingly easy to make. All you have to do is make jell-o, [...]
Lemon & Mint Chicken Halloumi Skewers
Lemon & Garlic Lamb Chops
So the Festive Season has come and gone marking the end of 2013 and the beginning of a wonderfully cold 2014 here in Abu Dhabi. One of my resolutions for the new year, very different from the usual resolutions that people have , is to have a healthier lifestyle. And no, that doesn’t necessarily mean [...]
Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Cakes and blogs, in my opinion, are a very tricky combination. In order to make one look pretty, you have to compromise on the looks of the other (sometimes). The reason behind my perplexity is the recent bandwagon everyone seems to be jumping on. The one where you take a super close up photograph of [...]
Spaghetti Bolognese
Back when I was in uni, my roommate and I used to go on little spaghetti making adventures, completely trash our dorm room kitchen and then successfully manage to ignore the mess we’d made for the next 24 hours atleast. The next day we’d find one of the several cleaning ladies chilling outside our dorms, [...]
Stuffed Aubergines
Most of my inspiration to cook and what to cook comes from the sight of fresh ingredients at the local supermarket. I do understand that we live in a desert, but sometimes the quality of fresh produce is just beyond my comprehension. You buy PINK (not even red) tomatoes, leave them in the fridge and [...]
Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Fruit Gateau
Chicken & Leek Vol au vents
I swear I’m not obsessed with snazzy french names for everything, thats just what they’re called. *guilty* They’re basically just little puff pastry cases that are filled with some sort of filling and then om-nommed upon.You can make them both sweet or savoury. Super easy and fun to make and end up looking really [...]
Peri Peri Chicken
Waldorf Salad
Mini Pizzas
Three different cheeses, three different kinds of chicken- Chicken Tikka, Buffalo chicken, Chicken Meatballs- three Great Pizzas! So normally whenever we make fresh pizzas at home (and by we I mean only my mom and my brother since they hog over everything) “we” normally get fresh pizza dough from a bakery, which we roll out [...]
