Whenever Mr Beaver brought his wife, Pansy her favorite flower (no points for guessing which one), she made him pansy pops! and now you can too!

Mr. Elf shares his recipe for the holidays.

A good book, a nice hot cup of cocoa and a quiet evening before the holiday madness starts.

Visiting a beach in Mumbai as kid was incomplete without chana chaat, a tangy chickpea salad. Easy enough to recreate at home, this quick recipe works wonderfully as a starter. If you don't have chaat masala in your kitchen pantry, substitute with paprika.

An easy-peasy pumpkin soup recipe to stay warm.

Cannot go wrong with a hot pink margarita! Prickly pears or Opuntia are edible fruits on a flat cactus which are sweet to taste and a sight for sore eyes.

Scrumptious hearty lobster soup inspired by Julia Child. It's not a quick and easy recipe but one to savour and enjoy on a slow weekend. Worth all the trouble though.

I love easy recipes that you can make and keep aside for a rainy day. When you have surprise visitors or a really tiring work day or just because you are awesome. Cranberry Popsicles are easy and super delicious.

The perfect warming Irish coffee for the cold weather.

A variation to the usual strawberries and cream, this recipe is a perfect treat after those long work days. Easy to put together and delicious.

Goan cuisine is strongly influenced by the Portuguese, since they ruled Goa till 1961. Xacuti (Chacuti in Portuguese) is spicy curry made either with chicken or crabs. The roasted spices give such a lovely aroma to this recipe. You can tone down the heat by reducing the number of chillies.

This is my favourite midweek recipe. As long as you have some frozen tortellinis on hand, you can make this within minutes. The ingredients can be easily found in your fridge. The chicken broth can be substituted with a vegetable broth. It will still taste great. I promise!

This spicy yet sweet lemon pickle recipe reminds me of warm cozy lunch on chilly monsoon days, cuddling with grandma listening to her stories, perfect for cold and rainy weather.
