I didn’t think I’d love a lemon cookie quite as much as I loved these. Ginger’s spicy heat and lemon’s bright flavor complement each other so well. It’s like the perfect marriage that fits so many seasons of the year, but if you ask me, the sparkly crystallized ginger and lemon glaze on top seems especially fitting on a holiday cookie platter. Tell Me About These Lemon Ginger Cookies Flavor: Can we call these spa cookies?...

Oh man! Salty golden halloumi on a bed of zesty lemon risotto and a mountain of fresh, green leaves. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I love the lightness of this risotto, it tastes like Summer in a bowl! 👩‍🍳PRO TIP You want to add the stock into the risotto a little bit at a time. Doing this will really allow the rice to absorb the flavours of the stock and create a starchy, velvety smooth consistency to the risotto....

My children love those hot chocolate bombs you see in the grocery stores around the holidays, a melt-away chocolate shell filled with marshmallows and hot cocoa mix, which transforms a mug of hot milk into sweet hot chocolate with marshmallows before their eyes. Because is there really anything more delightful than a surprise-inside chocolatey treat? Today’s cookies are like the chewable equivalent of that experience. Now you can have your hot chocolate… and eat it, too!...

Masala Chai is not only a beverage, it is an emotion. Growing up I would see my mom enjoying her “Me Time” with her cup of chai and Times of India, in her solitude. She would admire her plants, and sit by herself in peace before the chaos started. What is Masala Chai? Masala chai is a warm hug in a cup. It is made with black tea leaves, with freshly pounded ginger, chai masala, milk and sugar....

At some point, I knew I would take the plunge. It was only a matter of when and where. As long as I can remember, I’ve loved to cook, play with flavors and ingredients, make my own mistakes and learn. But I’ve also been yearning to learn more about techniques and train under a more formal setting in the culinary arts. So after much thought and careful consideration, I decided it was time to take a break from my life in science and health research and test the waters in a more professional environment....

One thing I’m realizing with the Instant Pot, is that to cook vegetables well in it, not only do you need low pressure and quick cooking times, you also really need to leave the pieces a lot larger than you might otherwise. When I made the Caldo de Res, I left the chayote squash chunks quite large and even after 5 minutes, they still had a little bite to them which I loved....

I grew up licking the bowl clean and having second helpings of this dal. I would look forward to eat my mom’s Gujarati dal and rice for an after tuition snack, to hold me until dinner. It was almost like a routine! This very famous khatti meethi Gujarati dal takes me back to my mom’s kitchen every time I make it. It is one of those precious recipes that is very close to my heart and I have been cherishing it since I took my first bite....

Do you remember when I first shared this recipe? It was back in 2015 and we’re revisiting it now because it continues to be a healthful breakfast favorite. I simplified the instructions and added plenty of substitutions so you can play around with the recipe. They’re my best morning glory muffins and here’s why you’ll love them!

If you’ve never sat in a little Greek taverna, eating a lovely plate of moussaka, all washed down with a cold Mythos, then you haven’t lived. It’s been too long since I visited Greece and enjoyed the many fantastic dishes they’re so famous for. This is my version of that fantastic dish. It’s taken a bit of testing, and more than a few aubergines (eggplant if you’re in the US)....

It does take some time to prepare but its worth the effort. Serve these crispy treats with a cup of chai and you will have your family and guests asking for seconds and thirds. 🙂 1 Soak whole black gram dal in water for 2 hours. 2 Strain the water and grind the dal to a paste sprinkling very little water. Remove from the grinder. 3 To the ground urad dal, add rice flour, salt and chili powder, mix well....

Neer mor or Neer moru is the Tamil name for South Indian buttermilk made with curd or yogurt. It goes by the name majjiga in Telugu, majjige in Kannada and sambaram in Malayalam. It is a refreshing, cooling, traditional, yogurt-based drink that’s perfect for the sweltering heat during the summer months. It is similar to lassi, sweetened yogurt drink but savory in flavor with a high proportion of water to yogurt like chaas or mattha....

This recipe was commissioned by the Vegetarian Society as part of #nationalvegetarianweek It’s Spring time in a bowl! Lots of lovely green veg, mixed with spaghetti, herbs and oh-so-creamy goat’s cheese. This meal is basically ready in the time it takes to cook a pan of spaghetti, so it’s a great one to get on the table quickly when the children are complaining that they’re ‘starving’. Did you know that not all cheeses are vegetarian?...

I have always only liked my mom’s version of this recipe. It is easy to make, a simple recipe, and all the nutrition of spinach is intact. Traditionally the spinach is blanched and added to the paneer, which helps retain the beautiful color of the spinach. But in this process, we lose the nutrients of spinach! I have found a way to incorporate wholesome nutrients, maintain the vibrant luscious green color, and make it delicious....

Step 2: Cut Inside the Circle. Cut out the circles, just inside the pencil line. I use parchment paper rounds and I want to demonstrate how quick and easy it is to make these yourself at home. Store-bought pre-cut parchment rounds are convenient, but it’s really easy to just make them yourself, and more cost-effective, too. I especially like that you can cut the exact pan size you need, whether you’re making a 6-inch cake, an 8-inch cake, or a 9-inch cake....

Listen up. Today I’m bringing one of my classic Christmas recipes back into the spotlight.

I have a few variations on my site: Nutella Puppy Chow, Cookies & Cream Puppy Chow, and Pumpkin Spice Puppy Chow, just to name a few!...
