So what's with this food blog - Food & more?


Okay, so welcome to my food blog - Food & more, where you'll find me cooking up a storm. The recipes I share will range from fun & un-fussy to a little more involved, but ultimately, they are all delicious. Not only the recipes, but interesting anecdotes will add more spice, thus qualifying the 'more' aspect of the blog.

I'm most inspired by the things I eat out of the home and some healthy stuff that I want my little one to eat. Being fussy eaters that children are, my recipes aim at making boring - fun!

I love all food, so it'd be hard for me to choose a favorite, but I have a soft spot for all baked goodies - especially cakes, muffins & cookies. But this definitely doesn't mean I forget my husband's love for authentic north Indian food & thus, my experiments with the cuisine. Biryani, chicken curry, anyone?

Thanks for dropping by, please enjoy reading & cooking!

The Healthy Beetroot Carrot Cake

Sounds really healthy? What if I tell you it was high on taste as well? Well you may not agree especially when it has beetroot & carrot! Deep, earthy flavour and whole lot of crunch, but what I love most about beetroot is the incredible colour that can transform anything shocking pink The overwhelmingly vibrant hue makes it one of the most bossy vegetables that can completely take over your dish.
