With all of us settling in for the long haul, and slowly coming to terms with the fact that this is probably going to be our reality for the next few months (if not the year), everyone's finding different ways to distract themselves. Many of my friends on Instagram have been baking up project bakes … Continue reading Shake Shack style Burgers at Home
I'm trying to make sense of things, trying to remind myself not to live in fear, even as we're all social distancing and the country (along with many others around the world) has gone into lockdown. I'm naturally more introspective, and in fact that's one of the reasons I started this blog in 2011, to … Continue reading Stay Home, Save Lives
If you follow me on Instagram, you'll notice I'm skipping weeks a bit and have gone from week 1 to week 3. This is because I'm not entirely pleased with how week 2's Korean Beef bowls turned out and I need to tweak the recipe a bit before sharing. This one, though, this is a … Continue reading Greek Chicken and Tabouleh Meal Prep
I made a huge mistake when I went to the States for work last year - I went to a Chipotle Mexican Grill branch for lunch. I remember suffering from a particularly awful bout of jetlag, was close to being sick at one point but I just needed some food inside my belly before I … Continue reading Cravings for Chipotle
I've been seeing a lot of pictures of tomatoes on burrata on Instagram and Pinterest lately, and I'm not sure if it's just having a revival at the moment or the interwebz is reading me again. But after days and days of seeing variations of these flavours every time I check my social media, I … Continue reading Tomatoes, mozzarella and toast!
I come from a multiethnic family - with a strong influence by my Indian paternal grandmother, as she is the matriarch of our large and boisterous family. This influence shows itself a LOT through our food preferences - dad to this day can't go 3 days without having dhal (the special dhal recipe Nini passed … Continue reading Jeera Rice (Cumin Rice)
I had a craving for hot soup today, and since my husband would never accept the idea of just soup as dinner I decided to add noodles to them too. Unfortunately I think... well, I definitely put in too much! So noted for next time, will use less and maybe I'll use vermicelli so they … Continue reading Asian Chicken Noodle Soup
I was down with a really bad fever over the weekend, caused by a raw and inflamed throat. I traced it back to having had extremely hot soup, at which point I had scalded my throat and caused this stupid thing. My throat's still quite raw, but not as bad as it was on Friday. … Continue reading Moroccan meatballs with lemony couscous
I went back to work last week, and it's not quite so busy yet but still calls for the usual later evenings. So on Friday night, after a week of craving (quite inexplicably) gnocchi, I decided to cook up this super simple, super easy, super tasty dish for the hubs and myself. Also, since I've … Continue reading Brown Butter Sage Gnocchi with Beef Salami
Moving into a new house for the first time is daunting. In my first two months, I have lost my keys, gotten locked inside my own bedroom (faulty lock), had 3 power trips, locked my car and house keys in my car, watched scary movies I probably shouldn't have... but the one thing I've had … Continue reading Sundried Tomato and Herbed Garlic Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
