Chicken Pittas with Spicy Garlic Sauce.

Too summery for October?
Aah, who cares when they're so delicious? I've made the chicken pittas twice already in the past week and the spicy garlic sauce is my new go-to for everything. It is so good as a mayo replacement in sandwiches.

This recipe begins with the chicken. I was supposed to keep the marinade oil-based but in the end, could not resist dolloping in a few tablespoons of yoghurt. The yoghurt makes all the difference. Think about things like tandoori chicken. The reason it always comes out so soft and succulent is because of the yoghurt that is used in the marinade.

You guys, can you feel the days getting shorter?

I definitely can. Today has been super busy, as always, and it's still not over yet. I made a classic Pakistani dessert (recipe coming!) and then, marinaded an entire roast chicken. I know to some of you that may seem nothing but for me, it was terrible. I'm so bad at touching raw whole chickens. It gives me the shivers especially since our neighbours have decided to keep a whole flock of chickens in their back garden. I'm telling you, the hens know when I'm cooking chicken because their clucking and squawking gets louder!

Happy Wednesday!

It's been a busy one here. I spent the morning shooting a new rice recipe perfect for these colder days. My afternoon was spent hanging out with my mother, cousins, aunt and adorable niece. My cousin baked and decorated a naked floral cake. It was so good with layers of both vanilla and lemon.

Do you feel that chill in the air?

Because I most certainly do. The mornings are colder, the wind has more of a bite to it and the leaves are getting crisper. It can only mean one thing - my favourite season has arrived. And, with yesterday being the first day of autumn, it's finally time to start sharing all the cold weather recipes.

Guys, I'm back!
I took a little recipe-posting break for Eid-ul-Adha but alhamdulillah, I am back. How was your Eid, by the way? Mine was good except my chocolate poke cake decided to collapse before lunch. Not fun.
