What is it that deters you from making your sinful Cheesecake at home? Is it because of the non availability of cream cheese or a springform pan? Here’s a recipe that makes a perfect Cheesecake without using cream cheese or a springform pan. This Cheesecake turned out better than the ones where I had used cream cheese, both in terms of the texture and the flavor. It was quite decadent, to say the least!

Some of my best memories from Canada involve food. I’m a sucker for trying out different cuisines. Just the perfect thing to do in a place like Vancouver that is a melting pot of diverse ethnicities and cultures. You are spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing the best on offer from an array…

Diwali is here. The air is fragrant with the faint whiff of festivities. While I don’t go all out with the celebrations in a big way, I do enjoy bringing in the festival with little things that add cheer to life in my own sweet way. That brings me to my favorite topic – sweets!…
About 3 years back I was gifted a book by a friend. It wasn’t unusual for me to receive books from him, since he happened to be a well read gentleman and would often send me books as a token of his goodwill. Only this time around, when I opened the wrapper, I freaked at…
