Hello folks! Are you ready for the weekend? I know I am! It’s been a busy week, so I intend to have a laid-back and relaxed weekend. The plan is to watch lots of movies, finish the book I started reading yesterday and indulge in some nice comfort food, especially chocolate! Speaking of chocolate, have you tried this sinfully decadent but ridiculously easy cheesecake recipe from the OnePotChef Show? The ‘No Bake Nutella Cheesecake‘ video recipe was shared by a colleague at office, and what really caught my attention was the ease with which it can be prepared at home. The recipe uses only 5 ingredients, and the preparation time…
Aloha everyone! Today I am in dire need of rich, dark, decadent chocolate and would happily travel to satisfy my craving! Given my love for dark chocolate and today’s post being all about travel tales, I thought I would talk about one of the best chocolate restaurants in New York – Max Brenner: Chocolate by the Bald Man in the dazzling Union Square area.

But things have changed and how! Planning a wedding is no longer a simple, intimate event – it now requires special attention & detail from event planners, decorators, fashion designers, beauticians, caterers, photographers and several other people.

Once in a while, I like to feature a blogger whose work is truly creative and inspirational. This week, I am covering my sister’s blog ‘The Love of Cakes‘. I feature blogs only when they have amazing content – and it makes me happy that her blog is one of them. My sister is one of the most talented individuals I know. She is a dentist by profession, but a baker at heart. She has been baking for several years now, and I have seen her skills improve leaps and bounds with every attempt. What makes her different? Since she is a doctor by profession and…
