Tabouli is likely the topmost famed Mediterranean/Middle Eastern salad there is. Because it is now sold in most large supermarkets around the world, I feel compelled to dispel one thing: the “star of the show,” so to speak, in a tabouli recipe is not the bulgur. The idea is to have a little bulgur with the salad, not a little salad with your bulgur. What is in Tabouli Salad? The true star in a tabouli recipe is the very finely chopped parsley–lots of it!...
Tender Coconut Ice Cream is a creamy ice cream with tender coconut pulp and tender coconut water.Easy tender coconut ice cream with step by step pictures. 4 tender coconuts and 4 recipes kind of a week.

Jan 06, 2013, Updated Mar 10, 2024 I’d say I’ve been recovering, but there’s not much recovering to be done from a lazy, relaxing, snowed-in holiday – one in which your mom does all the cooking, and you do all the napping. Still, I think a 4 hour time difference and 13 hours of travel (including airport layovers and mechanical delays…) warrant a bit of recuperation in the form of sleep-ins and blog neglect....
Thayir Vadai (Curd Vadai / Dahi Vada) is ammas favorite and I have seen her order it when we visit restaurants. I like chaat style dahi vada more than this one but can have it once in a while esp during the train journeys. I saw this recipe in a tamil magazine from library, quickly jotted down the recipe which was long back. And last week when we made uluthu vada I reserved the batter to make this thayir vadai....
For some, a spice level so high that your mouth burns and sweat beads on your forehead, is a kind of pleasurable pain. But I prefer to moderate the heat and not burn out your tastebuds. A pinch of cayenne ups the spiciness quite nicely in this Vindaloo. Enter your email & I’ll send it to your inbox. Plus, get great new recipes from me every week!

Feb 23, 2021, Updated Oct 15, 2021 Vanilla cupcakes are notoriously difficult to make really well. You want fluffy, tender, moist, light-textured cupcakes but you often get some combination of heavy, dry and/or coarse-crumbed. You see, vanilla cupcakes have nothing to hide behind. Their fluffy texture and soft crumb are the epitome of baking as a science. Precise measurement is non-negotiable. Specific ingredients and their temperatures matter. Technique and timing are of utmost importance....
Tomato basil soup often runs into a dilemma. Either it’s a heavy, overly rich bowl of cream with little tomato flavor, or it’s thin and watery. This roasted tomato soup solves that problem! Roasting tomatoes in the oven concentrates their juices, intensifying their flavor. Roasted carrots add a touch of sweetness to balance the tomatoes’ natural acidity without any sugar necessary (it’s the same trick I use when I make oven-roasted tomato sauce)....
Mar 18, 2015, Updated Jun 21, 2023 I bolstered the veggies, piling it high with crisp snap peas, julienned carrot and cucumber, bean sprouts, green onion and cilantro – adding texture, freshness and nutrients to a typically carb-centric dish. There’s a sampling of proteins in there, with egg, tofu and shrimp – but feel free to omit the shrimp and make it vegetarian (or swap in chicken!). My version uses Thai sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, garlic and fish sauce as the flavour base....
May 14, 2016 I thought it was pretty much the cutest toddler-speak thing he says. Until the other day. When we were at Costco. He caught a glimpse of a behemoth warehouse-sized melon in someone’s cart. And so he screeched at the top of his lungs, “WHOA, mama, dat whoa-man is HUGE! Dat’s da biggest whoa-man I ever saw in my whole life! Do you see dat whoa-man, mama? SOOOOO big!...
Jan 02, 2024, Updated Feb 15, 2024 What to Serve with Mac and Cheese Macaroni cheese has to be one of the ultimate comfort foods – the combination of its rich and creamy sauce and soft pasta gets topped off with a crusty cheese topping.

Feb 11, 2013, Updated Jan 17, 2024 These gooey, cheesy, bacon-crowned slices are called Cheese Humps for a good reason: when you make them the way it was done in the 80s – with a thick slather of Kraft Cheez Whiz – they’d puff up like a balloon and make an inflated, cheesy hump. I assume because Cheez Whiz is practically plastic? Ok, maybe that’s not fair. But I do see a long ingredient list, with “cheese culture” being the only cheese-like substance, and it’s way down at the bottom with paprika – meaning there’s not much in there…Photo via instagram Out of nowhere this morning, I had a major craving for this comfort food of my childhood....
Dec 02, 2015 Baked Brie is always a favourite at parties – people gather around it and gobble it up until it’s gone. Really, how could you go wrong with hot, gooey cheese on crackers? This festive version is crowned with sweet, tangy cranberry-ginger chutney. You start by simmering cranberries with softened onions, ginger, brown sugar, a splash of vinegar and a pinch of cloves. The recipe makes more chutney than you’ll need....
Condiments that take food from basic to bold in seconds are an easy way to build big flavor quickly. That’s balsamic glaze in a nutshell: Italian balsamic vinegar, a centuries-old ingredient, reduced until it’s singing with a bright, caramelized flavor that coats your palate and leaves you wanting more. This balsamic glaze recipe is meant to be adjusted according to the vinegar you’re working with. Sometimes balsamic is sweet enough to be left alone, sometimes a little honey or brown sugar goes a long way, like with our Baked Salmon and Skillet Zucchini....

I love a versatile dish that you can serve as light dinner, lunch, side, or a satisfying salad to feed a crowd. Even better, if it works for meal-prep and can be divided and stored in the fridge for later. This Mediterranean roasted vegetables and barley recipe is all this and more! More about this Vegetarian Barley Recipe Barley is a great ancient grain that’s been used in Mediterranean cooking for many years–in savory recipes like today’s vegetable barley or Soupe Jo (Persian Chicken Barley Soup), and in sweet ones like this delicious burbara pudding....
Basil pesto is traditionally made with fresh basil pounded with pine nuts, aged cheese, and olive oil in a mortar and pestle. It gets its name from “pestare,” the Italian word for “to pound” or “to crush.”I adapted the traditional recipe with a few tricks to keep the pesto’s vibrant green color and fresh, aromatic flavor for longer. A quick blanch in boiling water and a squeeze of lemon juice means this sauce will last in your fridge for up to 2 weeks and your freezer for up to 6 months!...
