Time traveling from your kitchen In 47 pages of Yorkshire Teatime recipes by Amanda Persey, you get 34 recipes and many of them are very new to me. Batley Cake, Cable Cake, Curd Tarts, Harrier Cake, Ilkley Cake, Leeds Parkin and so on. Then there is the set of recipes that begin with York and Yorkshire - Biscuits, Buns, Cheesecakes...  Some recipes come  with very distinct notes like how Parkin always has oatmeal in it. Batley Cake is made on a baking sheet and not in a tin. Thats the first one I am going to take a stab at. And the black and white pictures interspersed between the recipes retain the feel of Yorkshire in visual sense too.

Wacky Mac with Mediterranean veggie mix,  White linen vodka pasta sauce  and red pepper flakes.

The biggest deterrent to making the pizza at home has been the buying cheese part. With Moz in  pita pizza , atleast the choice wasnt as difficult. I delegated that part to my husband, who came back with a block of Kroger Brand Low Moisture Part Skim Mozzarella Natural. The Toufayan whole grain pita pockets were easy to assemble and  treta them in the oven at 425F for 12min . I used the  White linen vodka pasta sauce . The smell and taste were like that of a pizza. Fro now on, no more trying frozen single pizzas. In my amateurity, I put the vegetables first and ten the cheese. I will reverse that order and chop the vegetables finer.  The done pita has a nice crunch to it like that of a thin pizza crust. I am going to go crazy with toppings now.

I made  Vaangi baath  yesterday I had some leftover powder and some cooked brinjals. Today, I wanted to make susheela. Three was some mint chutney from samosas and sundal made from boiled chole. Mixed them all together and made a variety susheela of brinjals, mint chutney and sundal as base. I used remaining paste to flavour dondakaya curry.

I have never used Duncan Hines mix before. I have mainly stuck to Betty Crockers. A cake gourmand at office did tell me that Duncan Hines mix results in a softer cake. And Now I agree. With the two colours available, I made a Zebra cake  and a Marble cake.

Betty Crocker's Pumpkin Spice Mix has both the smell and taste of the pumpkin and spice, that you cant tmistake it for anything else. I was running out of cookie sheets, so I put the batter in the muffin tins, very little of it, they turned out to be nice thick biscuits.

At Kabab palace, we had  Moong punugulu
