About

Hello! I am Sunita Bhuyan, and welcome to my world…a world which talks of life as it happens, and food in particular.

I am currently living in the UK for the last six years with my family-hubby Dinesh, and two adorable kids- eight year old Rengoni and seven year old Agastya. I am originally from Assam ,India- the land of the mighty Brahmaputra river,the land of hills, the home of the one-horned rhinocerous,  and most importantly the land of the world-famous Assam Tea!

A one time lecturer of English literature, and also a qualified lawyer, at the moment I’m a stay at home mom, doing a little voluntary work on the side. Apart from blogging, my other interests include, reading, listening to music, cycling , nature and food photography.

This blog is a space where I record my day to day ramblings as well as the hits and misses in my kitchen, where I do spend quite a lot of enjoyable time. I have recorded quite a few recipes, most of them, coming from my oven as I simply love baking. I have always loved cooking, and baking was my first love. I try to keep most of my bakes low in butter (used very rarely) and sugar and also use whole wheat flour most of the time.’ Eating healthy does not have to be boring’, is something I firmly believe in.

I have had no formal raining in cooking, and what you see on this blog is a result of my passion about cooking/baking. I have developed most of the recipes myself through trial and error and through my neverending thirst to experiment with various ingredients and techniques. And the fact that I cook fresh meals on a daily basis does help too.

Some of the recipes in this blog also reflect the rather simple but pleasant flavours of my native Assamese cuisine, which I have grown up with. All the recipes posted in this blog, have been tried and tested in my kitchen, and have been made to suit our taste buds. I love experimenting with food and most of my recipes fall in this category. If you have tried any of my recipes, I will welcome any feedback, but, please keep in mind…palates differ from person to person.

I have also started a new feature in my blog- cooking videos, which, I hope, will be a real help to all my readers; after all, ’seeing is believing’, isn’t it?

After more than three and a half years of blogging, it feels really nice to be a part of the wonderful food blogging community.

All the content in this blog (text and pictures) are mine, unless noted otherwise. It does take quite a lot of effort to keep a blog running. So, I hope, the effort will be respected. Plagiarism is not all welcome. If you do want to use any content from this blog, please ask first!

I also look forward to all your comments/suggestions on the blog. They are, what makes blogging, all the more enjoyable. 

Do make yourself comfortable…I hope your stay here will be a pleasurable one.

You can also find me at Kolsy Solutions, our blog designing service, buried in the world of codes, offering a range of custom design options for both  Blogger and Worpress blogs.

Hello Sunita,
Very colourful and nicely done web page. Your food pictures are very tempting. I love to cook to but never had the courage to bake. Maybe some time.

Sunita, I have always browsed your blog every nook and corner (almost), but Im reading the ABOUT section for the first time. Other than your recipes, writing and photography, I am also very impressed by your qualification and what you do now too. Woow..lecturer and lawyer by profession..amazing!!
You look beautiful in that pic. I always tried to imagine what Sunita looks like and you filled up the frame now. Rengoni sure takes after you…she is a copy of you..those eyes, the smile everything.
Anyways, great to know more about you girl.

Sunita, I am passionately fond of baking, like you! Your idea of stuffing inside, rolling, pinching the edges, either making a circle or otherwise is a great idea!! I do plaited bread with channa masala or paneer filling. Tbis is a fusion combo – Indian spicy masala + baked bread.
I love your food photos! They are simply breath taking!

Hi there. I tried your chocolate & cheese mousse (3 ingredients) and it was a hit! I used Orange & Almond Sliver Dark Chocolate, honey & f-free smooth cottage cheese. My friends absolutely drooled over it and couldn’t believe it’s so easy to make.
