Turkish Toast

We made a trip to Turkey few years back and food was certainly one of the main highlights of the trip. I was so excited about the food that after I got back, I threw a house warming party with all food Turkish.

Finger Sandwich - Avocado & Strawberry

I am fond of the concept of an English tea party. Sipping tea with scones and finger sandwiches in a relaxed environment is such a treat.  I like finger sandwiches as they are very simple to put together. It is obvious that the bread and ingredients need to be fresh and tasty to enjoy these delicacies.

 I attended a fund raising event with the theme of English tea party couple of years back and had lots of fun.  About 10-15 tables were arranged by volunteer's who brought tea sets and plates from their own collection. Everything looked so darn pretty. Here are two pictures from the party:

Quinoa and orange salad

This is one of my favorite salads these days. Full of nutrition, healthy and very easy to put together. Perfect for summer afternoons.

Plum cake

Here is a recipe for summer plum cake. A good twist to simple cake with  juicy plums.  The post has been sitting in the draft for a year but its never late to post it right !
