I have always been the biggest fan of cinnamon rolls for special occasions, but my general cravings are usually for cheese-y salty, garlicky decadence. and bread is a forever love affair.

so this recipe is adapted from one of my original cinnamon roll recipes, but a tad bit sturdier to hold the heavier wet filling

these will fly off the cooling rack faster than you can say kitchen therapy!

INSTRUCTIONS

1 Add the sugar/honey and yeast to the lukewarm milk and set aside to bloom for 5-7 minutes
2 In a large bowl whisk together flour and other dry ingredients
3 Then once the yeast has bloomed, pour the mixture into the dry, along with melted butter and combine to make a dough
4 The dough will be sticky and wet, don’t worry, keep kneading, adding more flour if required
5 Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead as much as you can
6 Transfer the dough into a greased bowl and cover and set aside for about 5 hours, or up to 12 hours
7 Punch out the air in the dough and knead for a few minutes on a floured surface
8 Then roll out into a thin layer
9 Spread pesto, ricotta and cheese all around, ensuring to cover edges
10 Then roll tightly from one side to the other like a cinnamon roll
11 Pinch the edge gently together
12 Cut into equal sizes and place in a greased baking tray with an inch distance between each – place them facing upwards so you can see the rolled pattern
13 Cover and let the rolls rest for 1 hour
14 Bake in a preheated oven at 180C for 20 minutes
15 Remove and allow to cool before removing

This is a meal I make often just for myself. I love mac+cheese and it is very much a part of my dinner roster menu. I love mixing it up with various ingredients, but the one I love the most is adding lot's of sautéed leeks which adds such intense flavour and I still feel I have eaten my greens (pls no, don't believe me, this amount is not enough, pls add a green soup on the side!) This recipe mentions macaroni, but I use whatever pasta I have and I am partial to spaghetti at times!

A mashed potato cake is a dreamer's paradise. I found an Italian nonna's recipe for a mashed potato bake layered with ham and cheese, baked into a crusty glory - and I had to try it instantly. Of course, I had to add my version with a layer of colourful vegetables in the center and so here we have a baked savoury potato cake! And maybe one day, this version will be Kamini nonna's recipe for my grandchildren ;)

Yes, I am catching onto the viral trends, albeit a lot later than many, but at least I finally am there! The baked feta idea came to me when I was consulting Toska Chocolate House when we started having feta in our ingredient list for a salad - one you must try if you’re in Ahmedabad. We serve it baked with homemade spicy tomato chutney, olives, herbs and lots of love! Feta is not my top choice cheese – not because of its taste, but rather the lack of shelf life. I’m a sporadic and moody eater, and we all know once you open that pack of feta, you pretty much need to inhale it within a day before it gets too sour. Which is why I have always refrained from buying it. This recipe I share here, is again stemmed from one of those nights where I found half a block of feta, just beginning to sour, so not suited for a cold salad. I thought, let’s bake it and see what happens. The flavours here are sweet, salty, spicy and crunchy – highlight is the fried almonds which is a sheer delight on its own, but even better here. This is one of those recipes that is put together by instinct rather than meticulous measurement – so keep that in mind when assembling and feel confident to adjust ingredient amounts as per your heart’s desire!
