♓ Meen Pollichathu {Fish} ♓

My family and close friends know that I luvvvv.. fish! What I had realized lately is that I do not really have the same intensity of likeness to fish prepared in all cuisines. My inclination is always towards naadan (traditional Kerala) preparations  So when I got hooked to this recipe, it was no surprise!!!
Authentic meen pollichathu is prepared in banana leaves and not in an oven :) But this recipe lets us still savor the good old taste of a spicy naadan dish, by baking the fish in aluminium foil, fully covered in all the masala... slurpppp :D I had prepared this on various occasion's while having my friends over for meals and trust me everyone loved this!

✌ Vanilla Butter Cookies ✌ {Egg-less}

This was one of those days, I really wanted to bake something but there were no eggs at home. Glum and broody I decided to find my luck among egg-less recipes! Defeated I decided to walk up to our local store to get some eggs and adorn my baking apron. That's when my bestie pinged me this awesome and wonderful {egg-less} recipe for melting moments aka vanilla butter cookies. It is a very simple basic cookie recipe and the results are truly irresistible. So drop your siesta plans and get cookie-ing!!

Chocolate Roulade

Recently my best friend from school decided to visit me after a long time! She had repeatedly stressed for some cake presence whilst she came over. She has an adorable three year old daughter too whom I wanted to impress {The fairy cup cakes were exactly what caught her attention as soon as she stepped in; Ta daa mission successful}. I had plans for some good food of course and when it came to a choice for dessert, I zeroed in on Chocolate roulade. Something that would just melt in the mouth and look every bit sophisticated on the cake stand, aside from being easy to whip n bake :). I would definitely recommend this if you have few guests over for more than one meal. In midst of all the fun and laughter, I was able to get only two decent snaps of my roulade before it thoroughly disappeared!!!
