There are a lot of recipes out there that claim to be “the best.” But when I tell you that this is THE best vegan jackfruit “meat” taco recipe out there, I’m not joking! I’ve put so much time into creating this recipe and have even tested it on people who LOVE pork and think […]
Everything you’ll need to know about how properly cook dried legumes/beans. Includes cook times for cooking on stovetop and un an electric pressure cooker.
Khichdi. Khichurdi. Khichuri. No matter how you spell it, this dish–made of rice and dal (lentils)–is the epitome of Indian comfort food. It’s one of the first foods Indian children are given and any aunty will tell you that it is the best food to soothe an aching stomach. Simply put, khichdi is Indian “soul […]
Hello Readers! It’s been quite some time since my last post–too long, actually. Since returning from India I’ve found myself incredibly swamped. Between unpacking from our trip and entertaining for the holidays, I simply haven’t had the time to sit down and blog. I also haven’t had time to moderate comments/emails, so please bear with […]
This post has been a long time coming. I’ve started writing it (what seems like) a million times, but no matter how hard I’ve tried to finish…it just wasn’t happening. The phone would ring. A time sensitive email would show up in my inbox. Piyush would want the laptop to practice Chess–he’s a competitive player, […]

It’s smell, it’s taste and–most especially (at the risk of sounding like some sort of chocolate obsessed crazy lady who is in clear need of psychological assistance)–it’s ability to “pick me up” when I’m feeling down. The only thing I might love more than chocolate is […]
Last year at this time tomato soup would have been the last thing on my mind! Instead, I was preoccupied with my “baby” plants, berry picking and killing those stubborn Canadian Thistles…Seriously, how do you get rid of those things?! Unfortunately, this year has been the complete opposite of the last. Winter is holding on […]
Sometimes the most ordinary of foods can be made extraordinary simply by pairing them with the right ingredients. For this delicious potato dish, I took a lot of inspiration from my mother-in-law’s cooking and the tasty foods I ate while in West Bengal.
Traditional American rice krispie bars have always been one of my favorite snacks. Especially if they’re of the peanut butter variety! Some of my earliest memories center around the simple–yet delicious–rice krispie bar. It’s true. I remember stirring the pot of melting marshmallows on my grandmother’s stove-top while my aunt, Patty, supervised–well over 20 years ago! (Man, […]
