Apple Crumble for All Seasons

By -

Hello Folks!!!

Right now I am enjoying myself listening to Nancy Mulligan by Ed Sheeran and eating heartening Apple Crumble, the best way to bring happiness to your soul by mingling the heavenly combination of music and food…

This takes me back to a lazy Thursday evening when I went out to play with my friends. We had begun skipping two at a time on a long skipping rope and praying not to strangle our feet lest we should go out and wait again for our next chance. All six little girls happily enjoying themselves like how the handsome horse- Black Beauty used to on the meadow. All of a sudden, it became so windy that we couldn’t play any longer and were forced to return back home, only wishing that we could play for some more time. I was so sad and kept looking outside only to see that the weather became worse and worse. At such a time, Black Beauty would have gone searching for apples that fell down from the trees. That was when mom brought this pretty looking cream coloured sweet dish that smelled too good to make my mouth water – it was an apple crumble. This desert has since then remained my most favourite and I do relish both the wonderful smell and taste of it.

Crumble is a very simple dessert that can be made with any tart fruit, crowned with a buttery topping, turning itself into a stunning indulgence. It suits very well for barbeque parties, summer brunches and even cold winter morning’s breakfasts. It fits perfectly at any time of the year and any time of the day. Once you have tried making a fruit crumble, you will automatically become an expert and no longer require a recipe. Happy baking fellas!!!

Ratatouille à la Rémy

Hello Folks!!!  " Cooking is like painting or writing a song. Just as there are only so many notes or colours, there are only so many flavours— it’s how you combine them that sets you apart” This year marks the 15th anniversary of Pixar's Ratatouille. It's hard to believe that it's been that long since we were last in Paris learning how to cook alongside Remy, the rat and Linguini, the garbage boy. With its summery combination of aubergines, courgettes, peppers and tomatoes, ratatouille is a beloved classic of southern French cuisine, particularly in Nice. But this simple, seasonal stew is more complex than it may seem at first glance 😉 What a delight to the eyes! Garnished with chopped herbs, spices and parmesan cheese with a gentle drizzle of red wine. Adding to the beauty of finely cut vegetables arranged most intricately with perfection, this warm rustic dish has a very homely aroma and can be devoured with buttered chunks of bread. A stalwart of the 1980s d...

What's For Breakfast? - Waffles!

Hello Folks!!! You may eat them sweet or savoury, with your fingers or a fork, soaked in syrup or sprinkled with sugar, but we agree- waffles are wonderful. Got an instant craving? Then keep reading to make yourself some crispy yet light and fluffy waffles. During my school days, weekends during hols were meant for sleepovers and fun time with my friends. As soon as the exams were over and the school bell rang, the silent corridors turned noisy, and we would run across the passage to meet at our secret hideout- the wooden bench under the tree. That beautiful spot brings memories even today. Most of our ideas came to life over there. It was where we shared our snacks, planned our next adventure, and waited for our parents to pick us up on sunny afternoons. Though we were experts in addition and subtraction, we were still trying luck with multiplication and long division. Our love for creativity, precision and challenge made us 9-year-olds work better at certain subjects. Whether it was ...

The Egg Roast Rendezvous

By -

Hello Folks!!! Last night, my mother was heating some egg roast for dinner while the rest of us set the table. The egg roast is a very simple, semi-dry side-dish, where eggs are coated in luscious thick sauce made with red tomatoes and caramelized onions. I wouldn't say this is a super quick dish, because you need to let the masala fry for a while in order to let the flavours blend with each other properly. But, with a little bit of patience, anyone can always cook up a magic potion. It's a wonder in itself that tastes equally good.  Interrupting my short happiness of watching the buttery smooth onions and tangy tomatoes swirling around the pot and bubbling into thick sauce, my garrulous little sister picked up a silly conversation. She started off by saying that she was ready to sacrifice her share of the egg roast and remain a good child who can 'sometimes' sacrifice good things. It reminded me of the story "The Sacrificial Egg" by Chinua Achebe, and all the...
