Growing up, I was a huge fan of them. And it’s the same now. They’re delicious and hard to stop eating when served with a cup of chai. My mom used to make these Shakarpara, also called Shankarpali, all the time, along with namak para, the savory version. And guess what? I could get her recipe from a notebook that was written about 30 years ago. This easy Shakarpara is famous not only during holidays like Diwali, Ganesh Chaturthi, and Holi but all year long....

And it uses all the ingredients I already have at home. The base of the cake is Greek yogurt and olive oil, which always makes a moist and light cake....

Spanish sangria may bring to mind chilled glasses on a hot, sunny day, but think again—winter is citrus season! Fresh citrus is at its most lively during winter’s coldest days, which is why holiday sangria should be part of your festivities this year!

This spiced concoction is then mixed with the vanilla and orange-scented Spanish liqueur Licor 43, and dressed with slices of fresh citrus and piney rosemary....

I’ve been making homemade ricotta since my now teenage kids were babies. Back then making ricotta from scratch was about stretching a dollar and not letting anything go to waste. If my kids were drinking buckets of milk and then suddenly changed their tastes, turning it into ricotta meant I could use this fresh cheese in other recipes like omelets, and ricotta gnocchi or simply spread it over toast. If life was really busy, I’d just freeze it to use later in homemade pasta recipes like manicotti or ravioli....

This spinach and chickpea curry, called Chana Saag, is a variation of my popular Indian chickpea recipe – Chana Masala. Chana is the Hindi language term for chickpeas or garbanzo beans. Typically, saag is a dish cooked in a base of greens like this Sarson ka Saag, Saag Aloo, or Saag Paneer recipe. However, this curry is different, and greens are added at the end for more nutrition.
