I visit lots of blogs that feature drool worthy food (see sidebar for examples). But very rarely am I instantly inspired to make whatever it is I am reading. The one exception to this is Vicci’s The Days Are Just Packed. She has a knack for picking vegetarian or otherwise very healthy dishes that are…
Tried & Tasted: Mahanandi’s Kadala Curry
Holy moly I am in danger of being waaay behind. First I had nothing to write about (no recipes, I mean) and now I have too many. Such is life. And do I start a lot of posts with “Holy moly”? Probably says something about my mental state these days. Anyway, I am early for…
Lamb Stewed With Oranges, Red Wine, Chickpeas & Potatoes
The minute I saw this recipe, I knew I wanted to make it. There is something about fruit–almost any fruit–and meat that is really attractive to me, which is kind of odd because otherwise I am not much of a fruit person, lemons and limes excepted. And maybe blueberries. But stick it with some salty…
A Shockingly Successful Lemon Garbanzo Salad With Feta Cheese
I am sure some of you are wondering why I made the thing if I was so shocked at its success? Well I knew I would like it–and I was even certain my kids would eat it by component–i.e., eat all of the cukes, then all of the tomatoes, then the feta cheese, etc., and…
Are You A Lunch Person?
For me the answer is a resounding NO. I predict right now you will never see a sandwich recipe on this blog. I mean, I like some sandwiches, but they don’t excite me and I avoid eating at restaurants and delis that only offer sandwiches. Lunches at my house consist frequently of finger food for…
Taste & Create: Aparna’s Manipuri Khichdi
So I am sliding in at the end of the Taste & Create deadline–which really bugs me and I am sorry I took so long. Basically I had chosen this yogurt chickpea dish to make a week or so ago, and when I realized I got paired with Aparna, of My Diverse Kitchen (who is…
A Remedy For Meat Overload: Spiced Chickpeas and Roasted Onions on Local Greens
Even though it was my mom who taught me to cook and from whom I inherited good cooking instincts, somewhere along the way our tastes diverged pretty strongly. I stopped eating much Italian food (I have nothing against it, it is just not to my taste frequently), which is The Cuisine of my family, and…
Curries from the Pantry: "Mattar Tofu" with Chana Masala "Chutney"
“Mattar Tofu” with Chana Masala “Chutney” My favorite restaurant style Indian dish is Aloo Mattar. John prefers Mattar Paneer, but they are essentially the same dish, one made with peas (mattar) and potatoes and the other with paneer (the homemade Indian cheese, similar to a cottage cheese) and peas. Ever since I made that Jack…
