If you love eggs for breakfast, and you’re a fan of everything spicy, then this shakshuka is for you! Filling and satisfying, yet pretty low on the calories. Ha ha – like I ever really take notice of that when I’m making recipes. Have you seen my brisket sandwich with saute potatoes and coleslaw coming in at a little under 1200 calories? (It’s delicious by-the-way 😋). Low calorie or not, this is a great weekend brunch....

Look how cute they are!! Move over vol au vents and devilled eggs, everyone will be making a grab for these little burritos first. PLUS they come wrapped in foil, so you don’t get greasy finger marks all over your wine glass. They take a little bit of upfront effort to cut out the tortillas and wrap them up (a family assembly line is useful), but then you can put them in fridge, ready to easily reheat a day or two later....

Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts and I have two recipes that steal my heart each time: classic cheesecake and no-bake cheesecake. Both recipes serve A LOT of people. If you love cheesecake, but don’t need an entire cheesecake in the house, try mini cheesecakes instead. I have a few mini cheesecake recipes: Mini Margarita Cheesecakes Pumpkin Cheesecakes Chocolate Chip Cheesecakes Sprinkle Cheesecake Cookie Cups These recipes yield anywhere from 16–24 muffin-sized cheesecakes....

What Makes These the Best Buttermilk Waffles? These homemade waffles are a comforting breakfast treat on the weekends or any morning when you need a special pick-me-up. Admittedly, I only make waffles a couple times per year, but maybe when my children are older, they’ll become a weekend tradition. Because each time I take that first bite, I wonder why I don’t break out the waffle maker more often! These waffles come straight from my family’s kitchen and if you’re looking for an all-star buttermilk waffle recipe, this is the one....

Not in the mood for chocolate buttercream, but still crave something totally rich and indulgent? Let me take care of that for you. This Nutella frosting has a lighter chocolate taste from the Nutella, plus irresistible hazelnut and vanilla flavors. It pairs perfectly with chocolate, vanilla, mocha, pumpkin, banana, and basically any other flavor cake flavor. As far as texture goes, it reminds me of the filling from my dark chocolate mousse cake....

My mom doesn’t like to cook, in fact she doesn’t understand why I cook with such “heavy” cookware. This is also why I started to cook, early on as a child when my parents worked. It turned out to be the best thing I had ever done! Cooking became my lifeline, my thread that would become my connection to the past, to the present and to the future. This passion fruit tart for example, I had never eaten or tried or even heard of this “tropical-flavored” fruit until I moved to America....

Every time I make this for dessert, I always have to make an extra mini tart. Why? Because once it’s comes out of the oven, the gorgeous almondy smell draws us in and we have to have some straightaway. That mini-tart prevents a shameful presentation of a half-eaten peach tart after dinner. I encourage you to do the same. Just sayin. We’re starting to see a lot of peaches in the shops in the UK now....

Only 1 carb per serving.Healthy. An amazing air fryer recipe skips the need to deep fry these Persian Chicken Kabobs. What Is A Persian Chicken Kabob? I know this says it’s a kabob recipe, and there are just pieces of chicken on the plate in the pictures, but that’s because really it was just easier to throw the chicken in the Air Fryer basket and be done with it....

Bobbatlu, the classic traditional festival sweet of Andhra is prepared in almost all homes for festivals like Sankranti and Deepavali.

Much loved among those with a sweet tooth. Usually the choice of dal for the stuffing is Bengal gram aka chana dal in our state of Andhra....

I’ve only really started to like gingerbread cake in the last few years. Despite the fact that I’m 38 (OMG that looks so much worse when I write it down!!), I only feel like I’ve grown into being a proper adult in the last few years. Perhaps it was starting the blog and then trying to turn it into a business – making my own decisions about the direction of my work, rather than having objectives and targets filtered down through upper management....

Banana bread is wonderful, but muffins are quicker, more convenient, easily portable, and taste just as good. I’ve been searching for the perfect EASY banana muffin recipe since my daughter began eating solids. We always have bananas in the house which means we eventually have spotty bananas ready for baking! These quick and easy banana muffins bake in 30 minutes, so if you need to be in and out of the kitchen FAST (um, don’t we all?...

I think a good quality joint of lamb has got to be one of the most flavourful meats going. The natural fat in a lamb joint ensures the meat is juicy and succulent, and it’s actually a particular fatty acid in lamb fat that gives it its distinctive rich and slightly gamey flavour. According to Cook’s Illustrated “Meat Book” cookbook (note: this is an affiliate link. Also it’s one of my favourite books to understand everything you need to know about meat), grass-fed lamb is best – because a diet of this type (rather than grain-fed) results in a higher concentration of branched chain fatty-acids – which leads to a more flavourful and sweeter-tasting meat....

I’m headed on a roadtrip with a couple girlfriends this weekend. If that doesn’t SCREAM a need for an addicting, munchable dessert/snack like puppy chow, then I don’t know what does. When my friends asked me to bring a snack for the road, I jumped at the opportunity to make a huge batch of the powdered sugar stuff. Only this time, I gave it a little twist to make it extra special....

2018 promises to be an exciting year for me; my first solo cookbook, Season, will be out sometime this Fall, and to be honest, I’m ecstatic and a little anxious. I’ve been working closely with the highly talented and amazing editorial team at Chronicle Books, looking at design layouts, galleys, fonts, text edits, and many other things I never considered that might go into creating a book. Over the next few months, I will share my experiences working on the book and what I learned from start to finish....

Set dosai as the name suggests is a set of 2 or 3 or 4 thick, fluffy, spongy small dosas usually served with sagu, a mixed vegetable curry prepared with a spice base of poppy seeds, green chillis, coconut and roasted channa dal. There are quiet a few variations of set dosa recipe. The recipe I’m blogging today calls for the basic dosa batter of rice and urad dal along with par-boiled rice, methi seeds and poha (rice flakes)....

I recently got a Traeger smoker/grill which is pretty amazing. It’s upped my smoke game up at home by several notches. We’ve tried steak, pork chops and chicken with a variety of different woods such as cherry to oak to pecan each infusing its own unique perfume on the food it kisses. While, meats are a sure hit when it comes to smoking, you can do a lot more than just that....
