’Tis the season of pithas

Every country has a host of traditional sweets that they proudly plate as a representation of their food and culture; for Bangladesh, this is undoubtedly pitha. For us, pitha is not just any other ordinary food but is also a treasure trove of great memories. Growing up, winter would mean seeing your mum making pithas of various sizes and shapes and listening to the stories of the origin of these sweets. Or, it would mean having steaming hot, warm chitoi pitha for breakfast with mangsher jhol.

Stew Recipes

During winter, stews, soups, and broth are frequently served as everyone wants a big supper as the temperatures drop. They crave food that will not only keep them warm but also provide the nutrition needed to stave off seasonal illnesses that are so prevalent. While a broth can be compared to a thin soup, a stew has a thicker consistency as the elements — large pieces of vegetables, meat, poultry, or fish—are cooked slowly over low heat. On these chilly January evenings, you can stay warm by making one of these stew recipes below.

Starting your day good

Breakfast is arguably the most important meal of the day. A good breakfast helps you to kickstart your day on a high tone. But preparing a good breakfast can seem like a daunting task, especially when you have to make everything from scratch or are tired of the same old items. To add new flavours to your first meal of the day, food items like – tortilla, milk bread, and croissant – can make preparing breakfast easier, personalised even, especially when they are already prepared and ready to use. While tortilla and milk bread might seem abundant in the market, croissant is usually only found in cafes and not something one has the time or skill to prepare at home.
