I usually serve it with rice and a vegetable....
Roasted chickpeas – golden & crisp on the exterior & buttery on the interior – s simple healthy snack. These roasted chickpeas are simple to make! When chickpeas are roasted at a high temperature, they become golden and crisp on the exterior and buttery on the interior.

Often I try to prepare something different with it, away from the monotony. I tried Dahi Baingan, a North Indian style preparation to go with rotis and it didn’t disappoint. There are a couple of versions of Dahi Baingan one of which is this particular recipe that I noted in my recipe files. A creamy style sabji that makes for a lovely side with rotis. Goes well with plain rice too....

This pie recipe wasn’t actually in my original plan for posting on the website, but it just kind of… happened. I was working on perfecting the recipe and technique for graham cracker crust, and needed something easy and reliable to use on repeat for a filling… approximately 75 cheesecake pies later, I thought: Well, I should probably share this recipe, too! Can I Skip the Water Bath? Yes! As if there wasn’t enough to persuade you to make this cheesecake pie!...
Sun drying the tomatoes is a labor intensive process but is worth the effort keeping in mind the end result is a concentrated, intense flavored ‘red gold’. Amma made two versions of tomato pickle, a garlic flavored one and the other asafoetida based. Both came out stupendously good. The key is to use juicy, slightly under-ripe farm fresh heirloom tomatoes. Warmly spiced, with a heady, asafoetida flavor, the pickle has sweet and sour tones at the same time, a delight to the taste buds....

I’m loving me this superfast veggie lunch. Anyone else drooling right now? I’m always amazed at the difference in taste between a raw mushroom and one that’s been sprinkled with salt and pepper and cooked in butter for a few minutes. That chewy, tender center and salty, crisp exterior. So so good. Yet Chris and my kids would totally turn their noses up at it. What is wrong with these people (erm, I mean lovely family members)?...

I went up to Sacramento and got a tour of the California Olive Ranch facilities several weeks ago to learn about the process by which olives are harvest for oil and what makes it taste so good. It turns out that olive harvesting happens just for a few weeks each year in Fall when the fruit is ready to be picked. Instead of collecting the olive fruit by hands, the fruit is picked by special machines which literally shake the fruit off the trees and they jump onto a conveyor belt into large container that transports them to the facility....
