Where is Mangalore? It is on the South West coast of India where I spent every single summer of my childhood. My father’s family comes from that city. Summers spent eating every variety of mangoes, guavas & coconuts from our garden. Food made on a wood burning stove & spices ground on a huge mortar-pestle by hand. We also had pepper vines in our garden… great for making masalas! This garden had a huge influence on what […]

I don’t have the chill recipe as yet as I need to perfect it before sharing. I have been on a raw food diet which […]
My favourite summer time drink! I am regularly at the Vancouver farmers markets, usually selling my Chai and Spices. At every market, I will trade tea for various produce. Cucumbers being one of them during season. I really love this shake below and it is easy to make and carry especially when I am busy and have no time to stop to eat at the markets. This works really well with my diabetes prevention diet […]
At my last Holiday Craft Fair the Chicken Tikka/ Butter Chicken masala was a hit. I have a recipe for the Tikka on this blog and promised all there would be one for the Butter Chicken. Again my cousin Karen in London, helped me out with this recipe. I found this fairly quick and made this meal during my busiest work week as it happened to be my husband’s birthday. Had to make a ‘Bada […]
Back home in India, we never cooked Chicken Tikka at home, just went out to eat it! In the past, I was often asked if I can make this dish and so I asked my international family for help! My Cousin Karen lives in London and has been cooking this incredible Chicken Tikka for a long time. Living in London, she knows exactly what this dish should taste like. We love exchanging and trying different […]
