These Shrikhand Doughnuts are a game changer for anyone who loves Indian fusion desserts. The doughnut recipe is eggless and the shrikhand is based on my classic home-style recipe which calls for hung yoghurt, flavoured with saffron and cardamom. I have never been so obsessed with a dessert in my life than I am with …
It’s Pancake Day this Tuesday 8th March which funnily enough, automatically makes it acceptable for us to stuff our faces with stacks of syrup-drenched pancakes.

Was it you who said egg-free quiches were as impossible to make as licking your own elbow? Well if it was, you couldn’t have been more wrong. You can stop trying to lick your elbow now. It’s never going to happen and plus, you look ridiculous. I wanted to create a quiche with strong flavours …
