Oatmeal cookies used to confuse me as a child. Why would people voluntarily opt for an oatmeal cookie when you could have a classic chocolate chip?! This feeling continued well into adulthood and I’m slightly embarrassed to admit that my very first oatmeal cookie was a few months ago. But I made up for that […]

It’s a festival, it’s a breakfast dish, it’s an infinitely better version of Khichidi. It’s Pongal. Come at me, North Indians. It might seem odd to start your day off with a seemingly heavy rice-based dish, but that’s how it’s best enjoyed in South Indian households across the world. Rice for breakfast is the standard […]

Cheesecakes are amazing but let’s be honest, if you’re going to make them at home you better have some hungry mouths to help you finish it off!

These trees are native to South East Asia and are commonly grown in various tropical regions around the world. Including my backyard. We have […]

2020 was a strange year, strange and terrible. I’m hoping this year turns out better and to that end, I thought I’d start this year out with the good kind of strange- Strange and beautiful! Today we’re looking at snake gourds, although why we would go with snake when serpent gourd was an option is […]

Vegetable soups are SO underrated! A nice hearty bowl of well-made veggie soup is often my go-to dinner, be it summer or winter! I’ve made so much soup over the years that I’ve developed a loose formula that I find to be quite successful. One of my biggest concerns with vegetable soups was whether it […]

I had a delicious version of this soup at Cafe Zoe many many years ago and you better believe I came straight home and tried to replicate it! While I can barely remember the Zoe one now, I will say that anyone who’s tried this recipe has loved it. Vegetable soups are criminally underrated. They’re […]
