I enjoy steamed carrots, for example. But there’s something incredibly good about the browning effect that grilling has....

It was one of those dark, rainy days during monsoons (I love monsoons and the rains, but not the dark, gloomy days!!), when I decided to make my eggless saffron-laced almond cookies. It is a simple recipe involving only a few ingredients- butter, sugar, flour, some badam or almond powder and saffron strands.

They are incredibly flavorful. Their skin is wonderfully crispy, and they are perfectly juicy inside! Chicken wings are delightful. They have the perfect ratio of meat to skin! I love making buffalo wings and teriyaki wings, but lately, I can’t get enough of these garlic parmesan wings. They’re a bit different than most recipes you’ll find. Instead of baking and then dipping them in a butter-parmesan sauce, I coat them in butter and parmesan and then bake them in a hot oven....
