Irresistible Hot Mud Pudding

  Hello Folks!!! Travel and great food is an integral part of African life. Like a ritual, all the weekends, are dedicated for travel. From Friday evening till Monday morning, people prefer to stay somewhere far away from their homes. This time we were travelling to Kasane. Kasane is a town lying in the north-eastern corner of Botswana, touching the borders of Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The place is known for its diverse wildlife, safaris and boating in dangerous waters with hippos and crocodiles. Anyone who loves adventures and seeks thrill should definitely drop in here. After reaching Kasane, we drove to the Chobe National park, met a number of wild elephants, giraffes and kudus on the way, went for a safari and saw numerous lions and cubs, giant crocodiles and so much more. After an eventful day and  a campfire dinner, we slept peacefully. The next morning, we decided to go back home. On our way back, we stopped at Nata, close to the well known Nata Bird Sanctuary...

Brownies with a twist

Hello Folks!!! I'm going to share with you the happiest accident I ever had. It was just another fun packed day.

After a boring lunch, we decided to make our own hot brownies, just as beautiful as the one in the story. Yes, there was Chef Zumbo's, recipe from TLC. His show has so many participants competing to make the best as well as mind-blowing dessert. I still can't believe how they managed to make, the cake that defies gravity. Zumbo emphasizes on creativity and intricate details, while reminding that food has its own chemistry. Oops! not just chemistry, physics as well. Whether Newton liked Zumbo's concepts or not, I'm sure he'll not be able to...

 Hello Folks!!! Who can say no to a fluffy, soft, juicy and crisp doughnut? Well, I'm sure no one can.   Two summers back, my sister and  I thoroughly enjoyed our vacation. Experimenting, creating and inventing new dishes and more than anything, baking beautiful memories day after day. The best part was that, we were left alone at home, while our parents went for work. The 'Home Alone' kids with a big home at our disposal.. hurrah! Our daily routine was to get up at whatever time we felt, have a quick breakfast and then sing songs and dance, make fun of each other's mistakes and lie exhausted on the sofa to watch TLC. Our favourite programs are 'Say Yes to the Dress', 'Cake Boss' and 'Zumbo's Just Desserts'. We love eating food and watching these programs simultaneously, maybe because we love rule-breaking when left alone at home.  It feels great to cook food with your little sibling, your partner in crime. We usually get creative around the ...
