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 Break Tomato Cheese Focaccia Today was a pretty monumental day. I can’t even be sure as to how it happened, other than assuming my brain wires got crossed and decided to change my personality for a day. As usual, I got to work at 8:57 am – never a minute early or late. Made … More The Break – Tomato Cheese Focaccia
“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. My solemn oath (to myself) to become a more confident human being in university is never going to happen. – – – … More A Case of Mistaken Identity – Desi Enchiladas
I love Spanish food and their whole idea of tapas. It’s a great idea to have little bites of food instead of getting full on main dishes. Often when I go to restaurant, I want to order 5-10 items, but I can’t because that’s unreasonable (Sigh. If only it was possible). However, in Spanish restaurants … More Paella
I’ve just come into the skillet game – I’ve always wanted one, but never actually went out and purchased one until now. It’s definitely a long time coming and I’m not sure why I waited so long. So cue my excitement! What to make?! Before I would continuously have ideas of what I could … More Rigatoni skillet pasta
I’ve been wanting to make a galette for a while now – it seems like a good summer time dish that is good for lunch and then subsequent snacking. Galettes are great in that they can be either sweet or savoury. You can also put in almost anything and it works! It’s great to use … More Tomato Galette
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! No wasted products as I hate having to buy something for a recipe and then throw away the reminder. My eggplant involtini desire resulted from having leftover ricotta. Ricotta … More Eggplant involtini
Tomato bruschetta is a great side/appetiser to have in a meal. Whether it’s at home or out, it’s fresh, simple and delicious. Some of the best dishes only have a few ingredients to them, and tomato bruschetta is one of them. When I had my friends over for the lasagna meal, I thought the bruschetta … More Tomato bruschetta
