In Support of Women Spaghetti and Meatballs The introduction to a recipe will be different this week. This isn’t a fictional story, but a call to women. I’ve watched over the past year as the #metoo movement has spread from the US to other countries (including Pakistan), outside of the entertainment industry and into all … More In Support of Women – Spaghetti and Meatballs
The Competition Here I am, the day I’ve been waiting for, all that hard work and preparation culminating in one afternoon. I woke up early to meditate and stretch. Clear the mind, focus the body, make myself limber for any movement that may be necessary. I look at myself in the mirror, lightly jogging … More The Competition – Scallion and Coriander Pancakes
“Hey! Want to join the Mexican Student Group?” Wow, very inclusive group, but maybe later. Of course, instead of saying this outloud, I awkwardly wave, smile and nod as I quickly walk away.

It’s always difficult to say which herb is exactly my favourite, but coriander is ALWAYS up on the list. If I could put coriander in everything, I might just do that. I love the smell, the taste and everything about it. Especially when you are at the supermarket and you just stick your nose … More Coriander pesto
I’m a big fan of marinara sauce. Mostly for dipping mozzarella sticks into (confession, mozzy sticks are my ultimate. If I see it on a menu, I have to order it and it HAS to come with marinara sauce). I love making my own marinara sauce because it’s so easy and will taste much better … More Marinara sauce
Most of my cooking/baking seems to result in having something leftover that I need to use. Which is perfectly fine, in fact, it’s great!
