  1. When we were young our Muslim Bawarchi at home would make all these interesting dishes. I try to make them at home today to bring back my childhood and your page inspires me to continue to relive those days

  3. Dear. Bridget, Hi. I tried your Apple Chutney this afternoon and it turned out just Super ! I visit your website quite often . We used to have a Butler by the name of Samuel and he used to cook some lovely Anglo a Indian recipes like Crumb chops Etc. My husband worked for Imperial Tobacco so reading your articles brought back memories of our earlier life in Colonial Bunglows in the past ! Imperial tobacco as you know later became ITC . I'm talking about 40 years back. That was such a gracious lifestyle so I can relate to you.do you have any recipes posted for Home made Icecream ? Thank you so much.
