Don’t get me wrong, I like good food and I like to cook. I’m writing a food blog after all. There’s nothing quite like home cooked food and the satisfaction of knowing that your family is eating fresh and healthy as much as possible. However, I’m all for the kind of cooking that means I can spend a little less time in the kitchen so I have more time for whatever else I want to do, even if it is just sitting down and lazing when the mood hits me. So I’m always happy to try out shortcuts in the…

Hidden Heart Loaf Cake/ A Surprise Inside Cake
I don’t know of anyone who doesn’t love a good surprise. Wouldn’t you like it even better if it came inside your cake? That’s what you get with a Hidden Heart Cake – a surprise inside it!

Cardamom Flavoured Matcha And Mango Frasier : Daring Bakers Challenge July, 2011
I’ve discovered there are a lot of Western desserts that share names with (or seem to be named after) people. I always used to think that most of these desserts like the Charlotte, Madeleines, Crepes Suzette, Apple Brown Betty, Poire Belle Helene (after an opera of the same name)

French Style Lemon & Yogurt Cake – Gâteau au Citron With Blueberries
If you are a regular at this blog, or even just pop into this kitchen once in a while, you might know that I am a part of a small virtual book-cook club. I haven’t been awfully regular there, but we’re a small bunch of bloggers who all recognise that life
Egg Free Custard Powder Snack Cake
Yet another bake, so where’s the diversity that supposed to be in my virtual kitchen, I can see some of you thinking. I was planning to post something else but this particular cake has been pleading to see the light of day as a blog post. It has been a while since I first baked this cake and I have
Mango Cardamom Crumb Cake
I’m sure we all have some crazy streak in us somewhere and when it pops up we do the weirdest things on impulse.

No Baked Alaska Or Petite Fours, Just Another Ice-cream Cake : Daring Baker Challenge August, 2010
I almost didn’t get this month’s Daring Bakers challenge done. I just about managed to finish doing the assembling and decorating yesterday, which is not the way I like to do my challenges!
I'm Aparna and My Diverse Kitchen is my ovo-lacto vegetarian food blog where you'll find recipes, food stories & photography. I've been blogging since 2007 and believe the kitchen, and the dining table (by extension) is really the heart of a home.
