My Legume Love Affair (MLLA) # 62 - an event announcement + two additional giveaways to win!
It gives me immense pleasure to announce that my favorite food event of all - My Legume Love Affair will be hosted here for the month of August. It has been a while since I hosted the last one which was way back in 2010. Now, its time to rock and roll again, to celebrate the goodness and versatility of our dear legumes.
Since August is also the month where this blog of mine celebrates its 6th year of existence, I have added couple of more giveaways to win for this event. All you have to do is whip up a dish with legumes as key ingredient and send it over to me. This event is open to all - bloggers and non-bloggers alike and each entry is eligible for the random drawing of the 4 prizes being offered.
Get those aprons of yours ready to cook some delicious legumes all month along!. I am waiting. :-)

Eggless White Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
“The rain to the wind said, You push and I'll pelt.'
They so smote the garden bed, That the flowers actually knelt,
And lay lodged--though not dead, I know how the flowers felt.” ~ Robert Frost

Savory Vegetable Bread Pudding - a Step by Step Recipe
[Update] This recipe has been featured on ..
***************************************************
“The kitchen, reasonably enough, was the scene of my first gastronomic adventure. I was on all fours. I crawled into the vegetable bin, settled on a giant onion and ate it, skin and all. It must have marked me for life, for I have never ceased to love the hearty flavor of raw onions.” ~ James Beard (1903-1985)Savory Vegetable Bread Pudding |

Weekend Herb Blogging # 393 - an event announcement
I am super thrilled to announce that its my turn to guest host Weekend Herb Blogging this week, yet again. The whole concept of WHB is to introduce a whole new gamut of recipes where plants/fruits/vegetables/herbs are the real star. Kudos to both Haalo of Cook (almost) Anything at Least Once for organizing it each week and Kalyn, who originally conceptualized this event many years ago!
Please join me in cooking and celebrating the natural goodness a variety of seasonal produce all through this week.

1. Entries to Weekend Herb Blogging must be posts written specifically for Weekend Herb Blogging. This means they cannot be cross-posted in other events. Photos used in the posts however can be submitted to photo events like DMBLGIT.
2. Weekend Herb Blogging entries should have the goal of helping people learn about cooking with herbs or plant ingredients. Only two types of entries will be accepted -
* Recipe posts where a herb or plant ingredient is one of the primary ingredients in the recipe
* Informative posts that spotlight one herb or plant ingredient, particularly including information about how they are used in cooking. Naturally, posts can be a combination of both these criteria.
3. Posts must contain the phrase Weekend Herb Blogging with a link to this announcement post and Haalo's original WHB post.

06.07.2013 | Week 27 | Your Recipe Through My Lens - Green Peas Curry
Ending this food-based week of my Project365 with a delicious curry I tried few nights ago from Nupur's blog. It's simple, yet the addition of green (herb) paste and coconut milk is what gives this curry a whole new dimension. We thoroughly enjoyed it with our rotis, raita and onions + lemon wedges on the side.

05.07.2013 | Week 27 | Siri's Eat Outs | La Cantina, Hyderabad
If you ask me what would be my last meal on earth? I would say this is it. That's how much I love Mexican cuisine. So, when we discovered La Cantina restaurant in the plush Novotel Hyderabad, we were ecstatic (is an understatement). The food did live up to our expectations and my personal favorite was this Tortilla Soup which I was eating after a loong loong time!. We also ordered Vegetarian Enchilada, which was ok and Spinach Cheese balls which were perfect. All in all, a nice quaint place to visit if you are in the city and if you love Mexican food as we do.
