red currant and rose lassi recipe
Pushkar… colourfully adorned camels, streets lined with delicious sweets, mountain monkeys swinging outside my window, rose and amla lassi… is what my dear friend Grace wrote while on a recent trip to India. I remember it well, even though it’s been well over 10 years since I stepped foot on Indian soil. I remember with great […]
green smoothie recipe
Green smoothies seem to be everywhere at the moment and I’m not usually one to jump on the bandwagon but after reading this post and making Sherilyn’s version, it got me thinking that this wasn’t such a bad trend to follow… then I saw this absolutely adorable video made by Anya of Golubka fame that sealed the […]
