The weather was crazy for a girl to go out and dine on a weekend.The food ordered could not be delivered,thanks to the rains and a suddenly crowded restaurant.So what is to be done.Simple,she went out ,did a little shopping and Murgh Malai Tikka was born that looked just like the one ordered from the restaurant!!!

Rim wants to kick out that irresistible habit that creeps in during the ‘ghostly hours’. But she found it very hard to kick the habit.On One such ‘Ghostly hour’ she made a Chocolate pie that seemed to work as a psychoactive drug and give her the intense pleasure of reaching the utopia.For a moment she was transported to her childhood!

Navrathri has just gone by but memories linger on.The members of a Bengali family come back home to be with family, do themselves up in all gorgeous finery, hang out with friends,gorge on delectables until the shirt buttons would threaten to go asunder; and the time when all memories of near and far would throng the senses and take one back in time to the times lived through.Read on about There is something about Pujo..

Another nostalgia that revolves around Pujo.It witnesses some Kaleidoscopic memories  filled with fun,frolic and lots of good food.It also makes the vivid memories come alive only to realize that she is far far away from the warmth of that familiarity.

A little girl loves to go home every evening after school.Her Maa has something ready for her every single day.Years later her little one rushes home eager to see what his Maa has prepared for him.He is overjoyed when he found Bread rolls greeting him…

A heavily crowded suburban train witnesses some conversations and Sukanya dreading her long journey back home after hectic day at work.He husbands attitude irritates her but nothing can be changed.But she is determined to change her son’s attitude and prepares Methi bhaat at the same time!

A girl loved to play in spite of all the scolding from her mother.Years later when she saw the rains ,had the chance to go out and dance without her mom around,she chose to be in the kitchen to cook up a Pumpkin soup that gave her more pleasure and satisfaction than being in the rain..
