Any Arrested Development fans here? ?‍♀️?‍♀️?‍♀️ There’s a scene I’ll never forget, and, no, it’s not when Buster finally understands that Oscar is his father because he says, after weeks of telling Buster with no success, that Oscar wants to share his “Pop Secret” with him. Was that confusing? I don’t care. Worth it if you’ve seen it. If you haven’t, I just don’t even know what you’re doing sitting here reading something when you should be binging....

I just wanted to prepare something with strawberries, before they go out the season. And with Valentine’s day around the corner, I was pretty determined to make some dessert like cake, mouse or something similar. But then while browsing came across some amazing bread recipes. That’s when I realised that I haven’t baked a bread for a long time. I used to experiment a lot of bread before I started blogging....

Sweet and Sour Chicken Wings As I type this post I’ve just licked my fingers, after finishing my final wing. When I tell you these are the most insanely moreish things you’ll ever eat, I truly mean it. Here’s why you’re going to LOVE these wings: Texture – Perfectly crispy AND gorgeously sticky. Yes, you really can have your wing and eat it! Easy – No faffing around with deep frying, these bad boys are baked until golden perfection....

I was at a barbecue recently where they served an antipasto salad. I was really bummed out because among all the delicious things I love about antipasto, like olives, peppers, artichoke hearts, were pieces of meat and cheese. So I couldn’t try it. But I got inspired! All those delicious vegan ingredients would be great in a vegan salad — or better yet, a vegan pasta salad. Let’s face it: pasta salads can be a little boring....

This is a favorite that I forget often about. For a while I was under the mistaken impression that this dish wasn’t doable at home, and since I don’t live within convenient distance of any Korean places, I kind of let bibimbap fall off my radar. What a shame. Whenever I get a craving for Korean food my mind first goes to dishes like kimchi stew or vegan bulgogi. If you don’t live near any Korean restaurants, you may not even know what I’m talking about, but trust me, you want to know....

We’ve all seen the cottage cheese trend flying around the internet for some time now and there’s only so long I can resist the temptation. I am actually pro cottage cheese – maybe not cottage cheese flatbread, or many of the concoctions we’ve seen. But in this context, I’m absolutely a fan! Follow me… Cottage Cheese Pasta Sauce Admittedly, just cottage cheese + pasta doesn’t sound overly appetising. However, with just a handful of other goodies included you can end up with something truly delicious....

I try to limit myself to only making desserts when I know I have someone to feed them to. I live in a two person household, so having a whole vegan chocolate cake sitting around can be a bit…problematic. Well I haven’t had as many people to pass my desserts off on over the last year, for obvious reasons. So we haven’t had as many sweets around here, which means sometimes I get a craving and there’s not much around to satisfy it....

I’d had vegan gumbo on my to-make list for a while and I just happened to have some okra in the fridge. I never just happen to have okra in the fridge, but I spotted some in the produce department at my supermarket the other day and bought it on a whim. Perfect excuse to get to work on a recipe! This gumbo is made with vegan meatballs (beanballs if you prefer)....

What makes this stew Irish, you ask? Well, first off, it’s totally not authentic. It’s a bit like my vegan beef stew, and if you enjoyed that I think you’ll dig this too. But it’s the addition of some Irish stout, cabbage, and savory dumplings that make this stew totally inauthentically Irish. And totally delicious. How It’s Made The following is a detailed photo tutorial on how to make this dish....

My husband came home from work a while back and immediately started going on about some lemon white chocolate cookies that they’d ordered for a lunch meeting. They sounded really good, so I decided I needed to come up for a vegan recipe for them. Creating my vegan lemon cookie recipe turned out to be not all that tough to create. This one is adapted from my recipe for vegan chocolate chip cookies (which you also really need to make!...

Their jelly donuts. Hear me out! That excursion was, of course, the after-lunch-dessert dessert, as I could never say no to the croissant d’amandes when I picked up a skinny baguette sandwich on the way into class. And this jelly donut was unlike anything you’ve ever had in your life. I even dragged O there when we visited Paris on our honeymoon, but alas… they are no longer. So what’s the fuss?...

I wish I could get this blog written from O’s perspective.. but I already spend so much of my day saying “Write your blog, honey! Write your blog! Seriously.. write your blog!” ….and yet, there’s only oh, two posts on his sports blog. So I’m going to have to take this one over. But if O were writing? It’d go a little something like this. “OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG this is the greatest thing I’ve ever eaten....

Fresh strawberries are one of my favorite things about this time of year! I love strawberries, and I buy them year-round — even during the winter months when they’re not very good. But right about now is about when I start getting excited about fresh berries. Strawberry season snuck up on me this year. Is it May already? I’m sure I’m not the only one forgetting what month it is these days....

Generally, for people, comfort food is something which they grew up eating - something which was cooked for them by their parents or grandparents and reminds them of their soothing affection. Like most Indians, my comfort food is home-cooked dal chawal. However, in my list of comfort food, there is something else too that I didn’t even taste as a child- Thai curry, be it red, green, yellow, panang, massaman, or any other type....

Stuffed peppers are loved by everyone in my family and I make it in different ways. Of course, Indian style stuffed peppers (Bharwan Shimla Mirch) are cooked most frequently in my kitchen. Almost every cuisine has a stuffed pepper dish. And, today I am sharing the Mexican-style vegetarian stuffed peppers recipe. Whenever I make Mexican rice, I make extra so that leftovers can be used to fill in the peppers....

Let’s play a quick game of Never Have I Ever. I’ll start. Never have I ever… won a game of Never Have I Ever. Never have I ever watched the American Office. (I know. Don’t even try to convince me. It ain’t gonna happen. #Gervais4life). Never have I ever gone to Bonefish Grill and not ordered bang bang shrimp. Anyone drinking? Anyone at all? No? Didn’t think so. It’s not difficult to understand why we’d all love crispy shrimp tossed in a creamy, spicy sauce, is it?...

My Indian butter chicken recipe has always been a family fave. In fact, I made it for my father in law the first time I ever cooked for him. I stressed over the right recipe to make, rolled out naan from scratch, dashed to the Indian market days before the day, picking up tiny jars of asafoetida and fenugreek leaves and coriander chutney. If you don’t know, my husband is half Pakistani, his dad born and raised abroad....

Buying our first home, getting married, having a baby…this bottle has seen it all, really. Which is why we made it Leo’s godfather I finally decided it was time to consume it, rather than have it bear witness to the rest of our lives as we know them. You see, I picked up a bottle of this stuff during a visit to Nashville and then promptly stuck it in the back of the fridge upon return, and, of course, out of sight, out of mind....

Moreso, food memories are usually tied not only to a dish but the moment when you enjoyed it! Studies show that the nostalgia we feel in every bite of our favorite childhood treats often has a lot to do with the environment – including the people we shared the meal with. This is often a great way for families to create amazing memories gathered around the table while enjoying delicious home-cooked meals....
