Soft, gooey, yummy, rich, subtle, delightful… I feel like I am running out of words to describe cheese and my love for it. Cheese is one such dairy delight that has zero haters. You can use it on pizzas, shred it over pasta, mix it into a soup to make it thick and rich or eat it just as it is, cheese is versatile and adds a depth of flavour. In India, one of the most popular forms of cheese available is mozzarella, the stringy cheese that makes pizzas oh-so-delicious! However, in recent times, another variety of cheese – burrata – has gained fame due to its buttery and creamy taste. Not many people know this but both these cheeses are made using the pasta filata (stretched curd) method, yet they are different. But how? If you have this and many other questions in mind, then fret not!

If you like Mediterranean cuisine, you must have developed a special liking for this one ingredient, which is present in almost every Mediterranean meal. We are talking about olives. Olives are tiny fruits that are found on olive trees Olea Europaea. These little round fruits lend a certain degree of saltiness and sourness to a dish making it more palatable. We have mostly seen the green and black varieties in our pizza toppings, sandwiches, tacos and, of course, salads. The best meal to have on a weight loss diet is undisputedly a bowl of fresh salad. Raw veggies and fruits with their maximum nutritive value are perfect additions to a healthy diet. And, the addition of olives takes the nutrition quotient of the salads a notch higher. Salad with olives is what you should definitely include in your weight loss diet.

Mother's Day, celebrated this year on May 12, 2024, is a day for children to give that extra love and thankfulness to their moms by appreciating them in their own ways. It is mom's powerful love that makes her children feel extra special — no matter where they go, who they become or how much older they get. There is an unmatchable warmth and care in mom's big hugs and kisses, and the million things she does for her children. One of these things is mom's delicious cooking that we grew up eating. It may not be wrong to say that 'mom's cooking' is a separate cuisine altogether, one made with love as the foundational ingredient. This Mother's Day, NDTV Food asked people what makes 'maa ke haath ka khaana' special for them. Here's what they have to say:

Struggling to fall asleep every day? We wait to hit the bed right after a hectic day in the hope of just dozing away to dreams. Instead, we lie awake in our bed with eyes wide open just waiting for sleep to come by. Insomnia is a more common problem than we know. Many people suffer from sleep disorders like sleep apnea or insomnia, which leads to other health-related issues. A sleep-deprived body cannot function properly and the lack of focus caused by a drowsy mind leads to failure in carrying out day-to-day work. Some people spend the night tossing and turning in their beds, while others may not get as much as a shut-eye.
There are plenty of foods that can help you catch up on your sleep. But dietitians also suggest not eating anything right before sleep time. So, there is a string of beverages that you can have at bedtime, which can induce sleep in an equally effective way.

Here's a list of some drinks that can help you get a good night's sleep –
