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
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
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
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…
Sweet Tomato Basil Bisque
It’s the dead of winter, but I am craving tomatoes. I have a full-on tomato jones going. Best way to fix that is with this tomato soup, made more fanciful by calling it bisque. A bisque (say it bisk) is a rich, smooth, creamy soup often made with shellfish, and thickened with said shellfish including the pulverized shells. Well, this one is rich, creamy, and has a roux to thicken it, but is sans shellfish. From t…
Tamales!
Tamales are a special treat reserved only for three holidays in Latin households – Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s Eve. Tamales are delicious and are also surprisingly cheap and easy to make as well. Every country and family has their own version of tamales. Because my husband is from El Salvador, my version is typical of tamales found in El Salvador. I like to fill my tamales with gree…
Quesadilla Salvadorena
Salvadoran quesadilla refers to a type of pound cake, not a hot cheesy filled tortilla. Quesadilla, in El Salvador, refers to a fluffy and moist pound cake that is made with a cheese called queso fresco. Parmesan cheese is the closest American counterpart to this cheese and works great in Quesadilla. Give this pound cake a try if you are looking for something sweet and new to try! From the original site: In El…
Screaming For Frozen Desserts, Lemon Sorbet!
The Lemon Myrtle in this recipe, combined with the sweetness & sourness of the sorbet, was ethereal. A pinch of the scented herb from Gryphon Tea gives this dessert an exotic feel, perfect for the festive season & leaves you yelling for more!
