If you’ve been cooking the Mediterranean way for a time, you already know how to build a salad-a great one-out of anything: vegetables, fruit, grains, legumes, herbs. And you’ve probably already observed that lettuce isn’t exactly our go-to ingredient. From the all-popular tabouli, to balela, grain bowls, and my latest grilled zucchini salad–no lettuce! Adding another craveable, no-lettuce salad to the list: simple Mediterranean avocado salad. Side note. Avocados are not a native Mediterranean ingredient, they were introduced to parts of the Mediterranean as late as the 1980’s....

Salmon is a fatty fish, and slow-roasting it with a bit more good-for-you-fat in the form of olive oil, produces just the most succulent, almost custardy, perfectly flaky fish you just won’t be able to resist! When you take this slow roasted salmon out of the oven, don’t even bother cutting it into even pieces, just bring the flaky, tender, salmon to the table and you can break it up with a fork or the back of a spoon into tender flakes everyone can partake of....

Sweet Somas was the first sweet that I tried in my 9th std, ofcourse with ammas help. During my school days, I was least interested in cooking but my cousin sister made this for me which urged me to try it atonce. I love sweet somas very much and this recipe sure is special to me as this was the first sweet I tried officially. I don’t know why it took so long for me to post this recipe....

Oct 08, 2017 This post is sponsored by Dairy Farmers of Canada. Fall is my favourite season for running. The bright, golden sunlight, the colours, the intense golden hours, the cooler, crisp air. It’s heavenly. I don’t run far – maybe three or four kilometres – and I don’t run fast – it’s probably only a notch or two above a speedwalk. I get passed by octogenarians on the reg, and I’m totally ok with that – I run mostly for fun and mental clarity, and also to keep me strong....

Jun 03, 2015, Updated May 22, 2024 Summer, in my heart and in my kitchen, is all about the produce – especially the amazing, juicy, peak-season fruit. For me, summer truly starts the moment the first local strawberries make their appearance. I always buy more than I can eat, and spend several days incorporating them into every meal. Hence this delicious (YAY, summer is here!) Strawberry Caprese Salad. This salad features the usual caprese suspects of tender fresh mozzarella, fruity extra-virgin olive oil and peppery fresh basil....

May 14, 2014, Updated Jun 21, 2023 Whenever given the choice between a rich, chocolate dessert and something lemon-y or fruit-y, I always opt for the one that errs on the side of sour. And I like my rhubarb SOUR! Barely sweetened, please. (P.S. If you love rhubarb recipes, you must also try my Rhubarb Cookies, Rhubarb Muffins, Rhubarb Hand Pies, and Strawberry Rhubarb Cake.) Two of my favourite things to make are Rhubarb Crisp and Strawberry-Rhubarb pudding cake....

This watermelon gazpacho celebrates Spain’s plethora of amazing fruits and vegetables, all of which can be found in abundance in the US. It blends sweet, juicy watermelon with ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers. It’s sweet and savory, a little spicy, and incredibly refreshing. Madrid, Europe’s sunniest capital, typically has 350 days of sunshine. The bright Spanish sun is a double-edged sword, though. Excellent conditions for growing incredible fruits and vegetables also bring oppressive heat during the long summers....

May 19, 2017 But since we got back from Australia last week, the sun has cautiously peeped out a few times and has offered up some real, honest-to-goodness warmth. Combined with longer days, I feel so much more energized. With the promise of light and warmth we can all finally exhale. All that heavy cloud and rain really get to you, and you don’t really even realize the effect until it’s gone....

In the first few pages of Michael Solmonov’s book, Zahav: A World of Israeli Cooking, he describes his father’s chicken schnitzel as a thing of beauty. “…Schnitzal took me to a happy place where everything is beige and crunchy,” he says. A feeling we can relate to, can’t we? I’ve adapted Michael’s recipe to make this za’atar breaded chicken. Admittedly, this is one for the days we crave comfort. Still, this is anything but your average limp, greasy breaded chicken....

The name Zarda comes from the Persian word ‘zard’, which‬ means ‘yellow’. Hence, this sweet saffron rice is yellow colored. This recipe is gluten-free and can easily be made vegan. In North India, this sweet rice is prepared at the festival of Lohri and served at weddings....

Christmas morning comes with all sorts of traditions. For some, it can include an early morning church service with everyone dressed up in festive garb; a quiet hike in the nearby park; a pajama party by the Christmas tree; or a large gathering of family and friends (in a normal year, that is). Christmas brunch is one of the traditions I will hold on to wheter we have a dozen people or just the four of us around the table....
