Best Brussel Sprouts Evah!
This is probably the fastest easiest recipe I have ever made and it was right there on top in terms of how mouth-wateringly tasty it was! Total cooking time is around 6-7 minutes. 1. Heat some peanut oil in a pan. Meanw…

e:imk2's mum hooked me on to the pear and butternut squash soup from the Wegmans recipe collection. https://www.wegmans.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10052&catalogId=10002&productId=3585…
Admit it! First you were afraid, nay, you were petrified whether you would survive the flu if it hit you point blank, correct? Well, your can lay those fears to rest. You will survive with the help of food and tea. Cue …
Okay, the thing is (as usual), I didn't agree with that recipe and this is my own. Take it or leave it. That blogger has it wrong. And if you substitute ANYthing here, may the kitchen god make you itch till you realize …
I am determined to match all the glorious colours of the fall leaves in every dinner this month! Vegetable Upma with Coconut-Coriander-Tamarind Chutney. Here's to Fall!
I remembered this video when I read your message: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDrs-3hJALs I don't buy Chili Flakes. I think the ones available here are wimpy and a BIG disgrace to all chillies across the planet. If y…
Felt like a really light supper today and threw this together in 10 minutes. It's so simple, it takes almost zero effort. 1. Heat 1/2 tsp of peanut oil on high heat - 10 sec 2. Throw in some whole cumin and black pepper…
Yesterday's Twitter stream made me realize that, though people (well, okay, I mean e:paul) talk about Kuni's regularly here, I have never actually eaten there. I considered this rather anomalous behaviour and a couple e…
Broccoli and bell peppers steamed with fresh coriander, fresh red chillies, jalapenos, garlic, mint, coconut, ginger, galangal, red-chilli powder and yellow split peas in soy sauce.
Can you imagine the sheer deadweight of concussion-inducing wok-power on that wall in the background? This is not a restaurant wall or even a wok showroom. This wall is "at home". I think if I had these many frying cont…
My microwave just decided to throw in its nukey little towel. The turntable won't stop turning and the light won't shut off till I pull the door open. It doesn't start heating till I push the start button but the turn t…
The big confession is that this is my first time baking or even cooking with eggs. The results are surprisingly rather pleasant. I really expected some kind of hard sedimentary rock - considering my former eggless ventu…
My Lemon and Coconut flavoured Green Lentil Power Dinner.
I have been keeping watch over what I eat for the past two days using the CRON-o-meter. http://spaz.ca/cronometer/ It's an experiment to see if I am eating a balanced diet and where my macro and micro nutrients are comi…
Another day, another meal! Feel free to stop me when this gets kind of toxic. Hee Hee. :p I used the Greek Semolina I bought at the Indian Store. It is awesome! I am SO GLAD I didn't get the conventional Indian brand! D…
Since e:heidi requested more food posts, here is one! :) Keerai Molaguttal is an uber traditional dish from the Palakaddu district of Kerala. Its not so much Tamilian as it is Malayali. You won't see this in ANY Indian …
I made a multi-vegetable penang sauce based stir-fry for dinner today. It did take quite a long time by my normal dinner standards but the result was beyond what I expected so I am going to document the recipe here befo…
Resolution No. 1: Cook more interesting stuff. Check.
Don't let the shopping blues cramp your dining style! :) ---------------- Recipe adapted and modified from this http://www.elise.com/recipes/archives/004320spinach.php
In response to e:Paul, and e:Jenks... Hope everyone had an enjoyable dinner and a great evening! :D
In response to e:zobar's profound question: "What kind of deranged individual shakes whole black peppercorns onto their food? ", I present some over the top derangement from Palakkadu and neighbouring Thalassery. :) ~~~…
I confess (and most bitterly). My recent addictions have gone to unhealthy excesses. I am officially and hopelessly addicted to: a) b) I need a quitline for these two, pronto!!! :/
So much so that I bought a HUGE 3 pound bag of spring greens this past weekend at Guercio's. For ~$10, these fresh salad greens were a steal. I intend to have a variation of bread/pita-hummus-greens for lunch this entir…
