Sometimes the most seemingly simple recipes turn out to be the most challenging. It took me a few tries to get my vegan strawberries and cream pops right. Someone asked me not too long ago if I could make a tofu-based vegan ice cream, so I started there. Sounds kinds simple, in theory (or maybe insane, depending on how comfortable you are with tofu). In practice, not so simple, especially when you’re set on the idea of avoiding an ice cream maker, as I am....

From a smoothie hater to smoothie addict, here is how it happened. Breakfast is something I can’t skip. As this is the first meal of the day, I have always preferred something savory. Typical South Indian Breakfast like Idli, Dosa, Upma or poha is regular at home. I never loved cereals in my breakfast, basically nothing sweet. So the habit I am talking about is for 30 + years. No amount of hurry or time crunch has changed this until I started my Low carb diet....

Potato is one of my favorite things to eat. I can enjoy it in every cooked form and have never come across a potato dish that doesn’t taste good.

Traditionally it’s made in a tandoor i.e. a clay oven and that’s from where the dish got its name. However, tandoori potatoes can also be made in an electric oven or air fryer....

They’re easy, versatile, and delicious. These muffins double up on the apple goodness by incorporating not only fresh apples, but cider as well....

For the longest time I was super intimidated by Indian food. It seems so complicated with all those whole spices and tempering and other ingredients and methods I’m not used to. But I got over it, and now I love cooking Indian food. Biryani is the one dish that continued to scare me. It seems like there are a million ways to go about making the stuff! And most of them come from different regions that use their own unfamiliar-to-me ingredients and cooking methods....

Funny story: for the longest time I assumed borscht was gross, even though I had absolutely zero logical basis for thinking that. Back when I waited tables it was the soup of the day one day, but I’d never heard of it before. Some of the other servers explained that it was beet soup, so it must be terrible. I think there was even a gagging noise and finger-down-the-throat gesture involved....

Last week about this time I posted a recipe for vegan feta cheese. This was long overdue, because feta was always my favorite cheese! But I didn’t eat my feta plain (when anyone was watching at least). Most of the time my feta went into a big old Greek salad. So I decided to share a vegan Greek salad recipe as well, but with a twist! Because I can never resist the temptation to put a twist on my already twisted vegan versions of dishes....

I didn’t come up with the idea for a Guinness chocolate cake. My recipe is adapted from a pretty famous Guinness cake recipe by Nigella Lawson. I knew the world needed a vegan version, so I went and created one! This cake is great for celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day — perhaps as a dessert to follow up my vegan Irish stew, but honestly, it’s so delicious I think you’ll want to make it year round....

This stuff brings back so many memories. As a kid, I would devour spinach dip at gatherings. How could I not? Creamy, salty, spinachy dip that you dip bread (okay, or veggies) in?
