Sweet n'Sour Pork

Sweet n’Sour Pork

This is my dad’s recipe that he’s used for as long as I remember. It’s a unique twist to the Chinese classic and when you use chilies, has a great bite! From the original site: He cooked his version of Sweet and Sour Pork, which is my favourite version (I guess it just goes that way when your parents cook!). I definitely encourage adding red hot chilli to the sauce or even using chilli vinegar…

Easy Cheddar Cheese Scones

Easy Cheddar Cheese Scones

I recommend this recipe because even a newbie like me can make this! It’s so easy and doesn’t take a lot of time to make which is perfect when you’re on the go. From the original site: I have a block of cheese sitting in my fridge. I don’t know how long it’s been sitting there, but the more I open the fridge, the more guilty I get seeing it. So I decided with the huge batch of soup I made recently, it…

Bok Choy and Beef

Bok Choy and Beef

I love this recipe because it is so simple and when you’re in a hurry to make dinner, it’s an easy pick. You get the healthy green bok choy and the savoury taste of ground beef. From the original site: As you could probably tell by now, I love easy recipes. The easier, the quicker – the better. This is one of my go-to recipes when I’m feeling lazy. My dad, Papa Gastro was the one who taught me this recipe…

Spaghetti with Bacon and wine + Italiano Grilled Peppers

Spaghetti with Bacon and wine + Italiano Grilled Peppers

One of my all-time favorite dishes has been the Penne with Bacon at one of Delhi’s first few Truly Italian restaurants- The Big Chill. Not only does the place hold a lot of special memories for anyone who has been in the age group of 18-26, during that time, but till date, it serves some wonderful food and scrumptious desserts. In due course of time, I have grown over my need to pay a visit there every week, and onl…

Lentils and Roasted Squash

Lentils and Roasted Squash

This makes a healthy lunch or dinner and is a great way to make use of those lentils and squashes that are hanging around. The white wine-mustard sauce brings this dish together. It’ll give you comfort on those cold winter days. From the original site: For many days, a whole butternut squash stood around on our table. Then I decided to eat it. The rest is a recipe.

Gajar ki Kheer/ Indian Rice Pudding with carrots

Gajar ki Kheer/ Indian Rice Pudding with carrots

Traditional kheer has its origins in India and is made with milk and rice. Owing to India’s multi-regional nature, different versions of kheer are available in various parts of the country; Payassam in south India (made with jiggery and coconut milk) and in Bengal (with vermicelli and jiggery). This gajar ki kheer, I assume, and can safely say is the Punjabi version from North India, hit by severe winters…

French Apple Pie with Nutmeg Sauce

French Apple Pie with Nutmeg Sauce

A Shabby Apple chic apron giveaway and a 1920′s recipe for a French Apple Pie with a Nutmeg sauce. From the original site: …The apron and the pie both very charming with a promise of retro charm. The pie from a cookbook {Appetite For America} that goes even further, a trail that chronicles ‘meaty‘ chunks of American culinary history from the roaring twenties!!

Review: Stonefire Naan (plus ideas for use!)

Review: Stonefire Naan (plus ideas for use!)

  I’ve always loved naan, the Indian flatbread.  It’s so versatile.  I’m sure there are recipes out there to make your own, but I’m not really one for making my own bread, particularly when you can get good bread at the market.  The lovely people at Stonefire flatbreads sent me some samples to try* and we really enjoyed them, so I’m sharing a quick review of them here. W…

Raw Kale Salad with Avocado and Blood Orange

Raw Kale Salad with Avocado and Blood Orange

Sometimes you need to just rely on your judgment instead of a written recipe, don’t you agree? In fact, the name of this recipe pretty much tells you all you need to know. Go ahead…step outside your comfort zone. Try it! From the original site: I had a ripe avocado and a blood orange just waiting to be invited to the party. The avocado added a soft richness and the blood orange a bright sweetness. Of course, they b…

Spinach and Quinoa Salad

Spinach and Quinoa Salad

The vinaigrette for one of my favorite salads has only 3 ingredients; oil, lemon juice and soy sauce. The salad part also has 3 ingredients; baby spinach, quinoa and sesame seeds. It’s so easy, but trust me, it’s all good. I usualy make this for lunch, but it could also go very well with any meat or fish. Special Instructions: Serves 4-6 Ingredients: 6 good handfuls of baby spinach 3 cups cooked quinoa 1/4 cup s…
