Mexican-Inspired Salsa Verde
Salsa Verde Origin Story Salsa verde literally means “green sauce” in Spanish, which is an apt name given the abundance of green vegetables and herbs it contains. There’s no single agreed-upon backstory for this Mexican sauce, but most concur that it was a common condiment of the Aztecs because it was documented by the first…
Cheddar & Gouda Beer Fondue
As I look outside watching large flakes of snow drop from the sky, nothing sounds better than curling up and dipping stuff in warm, gooey cheese with family and friends gathered around the pot. I’ve been making fondue for years. One of the first pieces of cookware I owned was a fondue set, gifted to…
Sichuan Chili Oil Fried Rice
I remember the first time I tasted Sichuan cooking. It was at a now-closed restaurant in NYC and a Chinese friend had brought me there because the food was authentic and affordable. I enthusiastically ordered the Mapo Tofu (side note: I thought this tofu dish was vegetarian, but it’s not, whoops) After a few delectable…
Vegan Corn Chowder
When I think of foods that I grew up with, one of the first that comes to mind is chowder. I lived the first 23 years of my life in New England and summer was never complete without many bowls of New England clam chowder, despite the heat. So many days spent on the beach…
Simple Roasted Cauliflower
Some days it seems that cauliflower has taken over the internet. It’s appealing in particular to vegetarians and health food enthusiasts because it can be a good substitute for chicken (try my cauliflower buffalo bites or BBQ cauliflower pizza if you need convincing), or as a replacement for refined grain foods like white flour in…
Traditional Chimichurri Sauce
I absolutely cannot write anything without first addressing the events of this week with the horrific death of George Floyd because it lays so, so heavy on my heart. One of the reasons I started this blog was to share my experiences of cultures and people around the world through food. Of course, my perspective…
Indian-Style Spinach & Halloumi Cheese (Palak Halloumi)
I’ve avoided Indian food for some time on this blog because it’s just so daunting. Although the menu of most Indian restaurants in the US is uniform, real Indian cuisine is diverse and varied like the country itself. India is a massive mix of different languages, ethnicities, religions, and cultures. There is no way that…
Corn Bean Tomato Salsa
It’s finally May. The weather is warming, which usually brings with it a sense of anticipation for summer. This year, that feeling is certainly muted by the uncertainty of the future with the coronavirus. But still, folks are cautiously venturing outside and there’s a feeling of, dare I say, hope? With the weather warming, I’m…
Grilled Eggplant & Halloumi Salad
These days I go back and forth between eating super healthy and eating junk food. Sitting at home all day, stressing about the end of the world, it’s just an emotional eating disaster. But our bodies are at their best when we feed them nourishing, nutritious meals and while there’s no scientific proof that healthy…
