I’m a big fan of easy casserole type dishes, even during those hot summer months, because nothing beats a one-pot cheesy chicken when it comes to convenience and comfort. A chicken casserole is essentially a casserole made with chicken as the main ingredient. It is one of the most popular casseroles and prepared almost everywhere in the world. Cooked in the traditional casserole dish, chicken casseroles have a slightly crusty top with a soft and easy-to-slice center. There are various types of casserole including, but not limited to, hotpot, shepherd's pie, lasagna and ragout. In Britain, a casserole is often referred to as a ' bake’. The French are often credited as being the inventors of the casserole, both the dish as well as the baking tray. Chicken casserole is often classified as a 'comfort food' i.e., a food that is easy to cook and digest, yet rich in calories and nutrients. In my version, I like to add mushrooms and spinach too. So here’s the recipe: Ingredient

At my home, we love potato wedges. Whenever we’re out we always order for an extra plate of potato wedges. Kids love to munch on these. These can easily be made at home too. I’m sharing a baked version of potato wedges which are very easy to make. Potato wedges are wedges of potatoes, often large and unpeeled, that are either baked or fried. They are generally sold at diners and fast food restaurants. They are not considered French fries. They are also called jojos or oven-baked fries. One may use ketchup, ranch, and honey mustard to go along with it. They are usually seasoned with a variety of spices, commonly paprika, salt and pepper. Did you know that the potato is the most important non-cereal crop in the world, and fourth most important crop overall.....that is after corn, wheat and rice. The word potato comes from the Spanish word patata. Potatoes are also sometimes called spuds. Potatoes are vegetables but they contain a lot of starch that make them more like rice, pasta and bre

Creme Caramel is one of the oldest and classic desserts I know and continues to be one of the favorites for many people and served all over the world. This dessert has different version of n ames....it's  also known as custard pudding, creme caramel, caramel custard or leche flan. Crème caramel’, when translated from French, literally means ‘caramel cream’. While crème caramel is thought by many to be a French dessert, the country of its origin is disputable, as Spain and England also suggest that the dessert originated in their own country. As for when it made its first appearance in India, nobody’s quite sure. The prevailing theory is that it gained prominence in I ndia during the British Raj and then grew to be a staple of several communities. In Anglo-Indian, Mangalorean, Goan, Malayali and Parsi homes across the country, it’s still considered a staple dessert dish to be rolled out at the end of the meal for guests. What’s not to love about this beauty- a smooth and creamy cons

When your in the mood for some warm comfort food on a cold winter night then you should give Shepherd’s Pie a try. It has got easy ingredients and you can cook it up quickly. Perfect for lazy evenings. Shepherd’s pie, is a common and inexpensive British dish originating from the sheep country in Scotland and northern England. It is a baked meat pie made with minced lamb and topped with a thick layer of mashed potatoes. Although the dish is sometimes called cottage pie, that name is usually given to a version featuring beef. The name "cottage pie" was first used at the end of the 18th century. It was around that time that the poorer people of Britain, people who lived in cottages in the country, started using potatoes as an everyday food. In modern British English, the dish is usually called "cottage pie" if it is made with beef. If it is made with lamb it is usually called "shepherd's pie" (because a shepherd looks after sheep). It is thought that peas
