Indian Dahl with Spinach
You do need to cook gently all the spices in oil first - to make it easier on sensitive tummies. Then add the onions, etc. This method also makes the end result more aromatic. Certainly dahl spinach soup is soul warming on a cold day. :)

Best Ever Banana Bread
Suggestion: Add thin slices of banana to the top before baking for extra caramelised banana flavor and a great look! Wonderfully light textured, flavourful and lightly moist. I put in a teaspoon of baking powder plus 1/2 tsp of baking soda as I didn't want to taste any soda. I added 1 1/2 tsp of cinnamon powder and half a cup of chopped walnuts. I used half cup of raw sugar + 1 tbs brown sugar and semi-melted butter.

D'Amaretti Biscotti
It is pretty good if you like your biscotti not too hard. If you want it harder, I guess you'll need to lessen the butter and bake the slices for a longer time at a slighter cooler temperature. Two-thirds cup of sugar is plenty!
