Cakes and desserts (6)
“The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” I am not sure what is the origin of this phrase, but I guess it is not difficult to fathom the idea behind this rendering. Do I agree with the saying? I guess Yes and No! No because the phrase is very archaic and sounds more like channeling the Betty Draper (from Madmen) inside you. And Yes! Sort of, in a very extensive interpretation of it. What I genuinely believe is
'The way to an honest heart lies through its belly’
I truly believe that food is an intimate experience. Good food creates memories, it forges friendships, and makes the heart grow fonder.
There is something special about cakes, whether they are decorated with sprinkles, marking a celebration or just a piece smuggled in couch while watching Netflix. Cakes can brighten an ordinary day. Cakes are universal bae. This mango semolina cake is extremely close to my heart as it has got all the cherished Indian flavors.
Some cakes never go out of style. They are timeless, well known and have had a great reputation for years. Bakers might try and tweak the recipe a teensy bit here or wee bit there, but the basic recipe is beloved. I do like trying an elegant pastry; but a good slice of a bakery style, tried-and-tested treat is something I will fancy anytime of any day.
How many of you made homemade baby food? I pretty much fed Aditya (my son) all homemade baby food, and I think it was so easy to prepare. I had a small stove top pressure cooker and that made making baby food a breeze. These stove top pressure cookers are quite common in India and every household in India has a couple of them for sure. Aditya did not like the sound of the pressure cooker and the whistling sound used to scare him. There was a version I had, which did not make the sharp whistling sound, but it was too big, so I preferred using the small one for baby food. I used to make smaller batches of food so I could make it fresh. If you ever made baby food at home, I am sure apple sauce was one of the things you made. So simple and so much better than the jarred version.
I was never fond of bananas as a kid, in fact I was always very wary of any snack that had anything to do with bananas. I quite frankly loathed the smell of it. But when I had my son, bananas being one of the foods introduced in the first year of his eating solids, I started buying them. Of course, initially he could not eat the whole banana and I became the dustbin for the leftovers (eye roll) I will not lie sometimes I started enjoying it. I think I used to be so tired with mothering duties, that a sweet snack probably gave me the much needed energy to keep going. I think that is when I realized what they mean when they say Bananas are so called mood lifters, once you eat one you do feel very satisfied as they are full of fiber and sugar thus making you feel energized.
These brownies are like the person everyone wants to hangout with and talk to at a party. Believe me you need this recipe in your life. This is a one bowl recipe and it’s so easy to make. These brownies never fail and the dolce de leche adds the gooey layer we all crave in a brownie. The caramel like dolce de leche along with chocolate is a great combination, and you will find yourself craving for more.
