Banana Bread needs no introduction. It’s cake like, easy and feels decadent and makes for a great treat.

One of my favorite recipe for Banana Bread uses ricotta and is decadent. Although I like the fancy, I make this simple basic banana bread version most of the time.

To make the very basic best banana bread that comes out super moist, it is important to start out with those ugly, overripe bananas!   They need to be a dark yellow with lots of browning.  The riper the bananas, the more moist your bread will be and the more banana flavor it will have!…

Maple Rum Apple Pudding Cake |foodfashionparty| #applecake #puddingcakeI woke up one morning last week just when the sun was peeking through.  I suddenly felt the need to grab my robe, and I really craved a warm cup of coffee. Autumn. FINALLY. My bones have ached for this season.  I want to believe the fallen leaves that cover our footpath now match the hues of my heart.

Every morning, I sit on the large floor by the tall windows and stare at our neighbor’s apple tree.  It has thrived.  I’ve seen them grow for years, from a tiny sapling to a young tree.  And now they stand proudly with fruits that blush with pinkish reddish hues. Ready to be plucked. The tree very gracefully hovers over our fence calling for us to enjoy her. Wait, is it fair to pluck fruits from someone else’s tree? Not sure. …

Avocado Banana Muffins - Dairy free/Gluten free |foodfashionparty| #glutenfreemuffins

A lot of the south Indian recipes are gluten free, the savory stuff and many desserts. When I do bake non Indian I usually stick to gluten, because that works well. In the past many months, every time I make BANANA BREAD  on insta stories, which  by the way is our favorite, I’ve  had so many messages to blog and show how to make gluten free banana bread.  Many times I’ve directed them to Alanna’s cookbook and blog.  She has some amazing gluten free options and great desserts.

But, this is probably the first time I’ve tested with gluten free flour and I have gotten the results that I love.  And here I’m sharing my new favorite gluten free bake. …

I wanted to tell you, and then, I’d tell myself, I’ll tell after my next deadline was met.  Two weeks ago, at around noon, I heard a knock, I opened the door and was handed a big brown package.  I opened it and there was a yellow note which said, “check and return by….”.  It was my manuscript for review.  It hit me.  I am officially going to be a COOKBOOK AUTHOR!!

There, I said it and it feels WONDERFUL.  Honestly speaking, one of the things I wanted to do was, to shout out loud and tell you all that someone wants to publish my recipes.  I had to wait, and it was, in a way easy for me.  I was overwhelmed and nervous with a giddy sort of excitement….

5 BEAUTIFUL and Easy Cakes for Mother's Day |foodfashionparty|

Hi my friends,

Some parts of the world celebrate Mother’s Day this weekend.

“What do you want for Mother’s Day?” asked my little one.  To that I thought for a few minutes, and responded, “Nothing, I just want to sit at home, on my couch, in my pajamas, all day, watching movies, eating junk, and most of all, no one asking me anything. Lastly, I don’t want a messy kitchen!” I added quite sternly.

He looked at me like, I just wanted to know what to make for you.  Oh, well.

Red Rice Sweet Fritter/Paniyaaram stuffed with Coconut and Palm Sugar |foodfashionparty| #foodphotography #holirecipes

It’s that time again for Indians to slap colors on each other.  A festival which brings people together, a festival of camaraderie and jollity. Holi – the festival of COLORS.

India does have a lot of festivals, and the whole country turns into a colorful atmosphere.  Among these festivals, some are religious, some are based on seasons, and some are of national importance.  I consider this festival in particular to be a more free spirited, joyous occasion for the young and old and everyone in between.  It’s a festival where people forget anger, sadness and join in for a day of fun, food and become kids at heart.

EGGLESS Matcha banana Fritters- Banana Paniyaaram

Using a recipe of a friend or family gives me the feeling of closeness. It’s like they are here with me in my kitchen guiding me.  Do you feel that too?

As the evening sun is shining through the window, I  hear the birds chirping, waking you me up from my  nap.  Memories of Sunday are quite beautiful. A nap after a good lunch of Biryani and pepper chicken put us in a sort of food coma.  That didn’t stop any one of us from taking it easy the rest of the day. The biggest incentive for waking up were hot pakoras, maybe sweet bondas, jalebis or someone knocking your door to drop off something.

RICOTTA COCOA WAFFLES – Whole grain with fruits

         HAPPY SUNDAY GUYS!!

My week was quite an eventful one.

Have you ever silently scolded someone and a few moments later thanked them(in your mind)? 

We were in a small store which sells school uniforms. I finished my purchases and quickly decided to check my receipt with the number of clothes. Left my phone for 40 seconds on the counter. A minute later realized that I didn’t have my phone and I was standing exactly in the same place. IT WAS GONE…
