Jun 21, 2013 Yes, some days I’m a bit bleary-eyed – but it’s actually been wonderfully liberating to throw organization, productivity and scheduling out the window. Between the 3 am chow time, and the inevitable hunger cries exactly when we were about to load into the car/make dinner/write a blog post/eat dinner/take a shower/finish an email, little peanut has taught me to go with the flow, in a whole new way....

Jun 16, 2017 Enter the Philips Pasta Maker. You put the flour in the container, shut the lid and press start. Then you whisk an egg with some water and pour it through the spout. In 3 minutes, I kid you not, pasta (of almost any shape you like) is cascading steadily out the front. (Within 15 minutes, every last bit is extruded – it’s about 80% done in 6 minutes, but it slows down as it pushes out the last bits of dough)....

A rich broth is what makes stew so comforting–it’s exactly what I crave every year when the weather starts to turn. This typically requires a long, slow simmer, as with my Italian beef stew. The liquid gently bubbles away, leaving all the concentrated flavor in the pot. This chicken stew recipe uses a few handy tricks for the best of both worlds: velvety richness without all the time by the stove....

Sep 25, 2014 The cakes are fudgey and moist and the filling is billowy and marshmallow-y, but not over-rich or tooth-achingly sweet. So can we bring them back in style, please? Because I seriously don’t think a cookie-cake hybrid (or even life itself) could get any better than these right here. To accomplish the super-fudgy moist cakes, you want to make sure you take them out of the oven before you think they are done....

Oct 01, 2017 Chicken parmesan with thick knots of spaghetti and a bright tomato sauce is an ultimate cozy dinner. My version uses a couple of tricks to ensure maximum crispiness. Mamas, it can be hard to find a good groove with dinners, can’t it? In our home, the kids are starving by 5 pm, but I can rarely accommodate that hour as dinner time. With bedtime routine starting at 6:30, they are exhausted and raging (and I mean raging) with emotions during the period when I’m actually cooking....

Oct 13, 2015, Updated Jul 04, 2024 Dan Dan Noodles hit ALL the right notes – sweet, salty, tangy, spicy – making it downright difficult to stop eating (don’t say you haven’t been warned!). In my version, I brown ground pork with garlic, chiles, and ginger before stirring in a flavourful sauce of peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar and brown sugar. I add handfuls of spinach at the last minute, then everything is served atop hot noodles tossed in sesame oil....

This Egg Masala is one of the most demanding recipes at home and am so glad that it is one of the popular recipes here in this space too. We loved it for the burst of masala flavours with a thick and hot gravy perfect to pair it with roti or rice or even any mild pulaos like jeera pulao / peas pulao. About Egg Masala Egg Masala is made by freshly roasting and grinding spices the chettinad style and then simmering in a onion tomato based gravy along with eggs....

Farinata is often described as a chickpea pancake, though that really doesn’t do it justice. The naturally gluten-free and deliciously crispy-edged, custardy wonder that is farinata is a popular street food of Genoa, Italy. Plus, it’s endlessly adaptable! It’s a great example of cucina povera, meaning “poor kitchen.” Similar to other classics like Cacio e Pepe and Panzanella Salad, farinata demonstrates the Italian talent for turning inexpensive ingredients into delicacies we savor to this day....

This feta spinach frittata is inspired by the flavors of a traditional spanakopita. It came together by happy accident when I made the flaky, feta, dill, and spinach-filled pastry for a large party. Instead of a typical casserole, I decided to roll the phyllo sheets into little Greek-style spring rolls for an appetizer, like the vegetarian version of my meat and feta rolls. Somehow I ran out of phyllo with plenty of filling to spare!...

I grew up in a Maharashtrian home where the dining table is always adorned with a tray filled with a variety of pickles and dry chutneys. The dry chutneys have a long shelf life and hence can be stored at room temperature for weeks. Growing up, I have memories of my mom packing them on long trips to go with “dashmi” - semi-sweet parathas, similar to these pumpkin parathas. These chutneys make a great accompaniment to any meal, adding a unique taste, texture and aroma....

Aug 20, 2024, Updated Sep 11, 2024 I started my career working in food science and recipe development for a flour company. I tested countless bread recipes and spent hours helping bakeries solve their baking problems. You can believe me when I tell you I know good bread. Personally, I do love to make bread that requires me to knead it, fuss over it, watch it rise, punch it around....

This Punjabi ginger chili pickle does not require much time to make. All you need to do is marinate ginger and green chili’s in salt and lime juice. In the chilly winters of North India, this lemon ginger chili pickle is a staple condiment in many homes. This pickle is also known as Nimbu Mirch Adrak ka Achar in Hindi, where nimbu is lime, mirch is chili and adrak is ginger....

Dec 01, 2014, Updated Sep 11, 2024 The grapes soften and their sweetness intensifies beautifully in the heat. They’re wonderfully complemented by salty-tangy, soft goat cheese and finely minced rosemary. The focaccia itself is brushed generously with olive oil and honey, yielding a super-soft, flavourful bread. For the base, I adapted the Beginner’s Focaccia recipe from the Fleischmann’s® Yeast website, and I was really pleasantly surprised! It is stirred, not kneaded, and only requires a 30 minute rest – I had my fingers crossed that “quick and easy” wouldn’t compromise the end result....

Aug 02, 2013 This was my first foray into grilled pizza – and I am hooked! I think I’ll still be doing it in January, but the obvious benefit of making it this way right now is that you don’t have to turn on the oven. My bread maker made my crust for me, using this recipe – I just threw in the flour-water-salt-oil-yeast and let it stir, knead and rise that mess into a plump ball of glorious, stretchy dough....

I grew up in India, where growing up I had never seen a can of chickpeas. I know, surprising…right? But in India, everyone just uses their pressure cooker (stovetop) to cook chickpeas from dried ones. They are cheaper and healthier. Then I came to Chicago for work and realized the abundance of canned products. At first, it seemed exciting that I could use a can of chickpeas and not have to wait to boil them....

Italy, especially on the Amalfi coast, is known for its fragrant Sorrento lemons. These little, or not so little, bursts of sunshine can be found on ceramics, painted on frescoes, and are the base for the celebrated liqueur limoncello. Making limoncello at home is easier than you think and it only requires a little time and 3 ingredients — lemon peel, high proof clear alcohol and sugar. (Water too, but we don’t count that....

Oct 15, 2022, Updated Aug 10, 2023 Super-Easy Biscuit-Crust Pizza I’ve been calling this “Cheatza Pizza” for years and have been wanting to share this recipe for so long. The pizza has a one-bowl buttermilk biscuit dough crust pressed into a baking sheet. I love it so much because I plop the bowl on a scale, and weigh everything directly in. Just tare the scale (or power off and back on to reset the weight to zero) between ingredients....

Getting an Instant Pot cookbook is a great way to get started with your new instant pot. I like to get tried and tested recipes from blogs or cookbooks when using a new device. Instant Pot, along with the cookbooks are a great gift for anyone trying to eat healthy or indulge during the holiday season. I certainly recommend to check the reviews for the cookbooks before purchasing. I have added a good mix of cookbooks along with some vegan and indian cookbooks....
