Spring Starters:)))

Spring is almost here and we are now being greeted by the colors of Spring. The season gives us the perfect opportunity to enjoy the colors of the season. Also, pastel colors define the look of dining on table setting and on plates. 
Spring/Summer season is a season that makes way for salad & co and they are real eye-catchers and we can always be tempted by new salad ideas. Also, vegetables have never been as fashionable as they are now. From chefs to housewives they are experimenting and coming up with new creative dishes with veggies. Sometimes the imagination really runs wild in presenting them colorfully.  One can arrange them by season too and they are versatile & stars of any season. 
So why not this Spring we invite friends & family for a vegetarian menu where one can play around with a colorful display of salads along with the main course for a fresh & tasty start.
I loved creating a Spring table next to cauliflower & carrot plants and placed a salad plate filled with some of our own grown veggies in the terrace garden.

Shades of Green

This is September, and the month offers its own fresh start to many things. Here in India, it is the beginning of festivities and celebrations for the next few coming weeks. These are the days of showers too, and it is truly refreshing & soothing to see the plants and trees after every brief shower. The moist leaves give us an impression that they are happy and smiling and breathing a 'Thank You' for the fresh green look. I love the colour green and as we all know it is one of Mother Natures primary colours. The green stem is honoured and credited to hold every flower of different colours. That's awesome. Inspiration comes from every where and the colour green inspired me to do a scape, with the green touch. I collected the green ware from the racks and putting it together as a teascape was pleasing to the eyes like the happy greenery around us. Sometimes it is wonderful to have tea and treat ourselves amongst a small collection of green plants. M...

Festive Give Away:)))

  Season Fall is to arrive soon and the season has its own charm in providing us with plenty of seasonal specials. Oranges are best during Fall and they last from beginning of Fall to end of Winter. In our garden plenty of Calamondin oranges started to appear and the fresh smell of the citrus in the air so soothing.  Plucked few of them and made marmalade from the ripen oranges for the morning toast. Also a good idea to make marmalade when the oranges are plenty, fill them in cute little bottles,tie with a ribbon/card and gift it when there is a Fall party or for Thanks giving & festive occasions. Its easy and quick to make and my way of preparing the recipe is given right here.  Cut the calamondin orange to half, remove the pulp and the skin separately. While removing the pulp take away the seeds. Squeeze out the juice from the pulp using a thin cloth . Cut the skin to thin stripes.  Put a heavy bottom pan on the stove and keep on low flame. (For one glass of ju...
