The Waldorf Salad was invented in New York’s famous Waldorf-Astoria hotel in the late 19th century. This crunchy, fruity, nutty salad will please even the most picky eaters. Salads are not that popular in India. So okay, we have our koshimbirs, kosambaris, kachumbars, raitas and what not, but they are condiments or side dishes at…

Beetroot Hummus – Healthy Vegan Dip for Summer
Beetroot Hummus is on the menu today. Who can ever resist the vibrant pink beetroot? I can’t! I grew up eating this earthy vegetable and I love it both raw and cooked. And I love hummus. Combining the two seems so natural. I have a basic hummus recipe here on the blog – older, ‘rustic’…
Turkish Lentil Kofte with Creamy Red Pepper Dip
These red Turkish Lentil kofte or Kofta are so versatile you could call them lentil balls or lentil bites. Or meatless meatballs? But before that, an announcement. I am pleased to announce that my book Rice Bowl topped the charts and achieved the honor of being #1 Bestseller in the Amazon Kindle store in Indian cooking…
Pasta Italia: Tour of Italy – Pasta Medley Recipe
Italy is my dream holiday destination. When my parents went on a Europe tour a couple of years ago, I did a lot of research for their trip. My mind is flooded with exotic images of Tuscan landscapes, Cinque Terre, Italian Alps and so on. Any Big B fan of my generation grew up fantasizing…

Gazpacho – Cold Spanish Tomato Soup Recipe
Some things are so simple that they fall off the radar. I have wanted to blog about this cold Spanish soup for years. But it always gets swept under the rug because ‘ Oh gazpacho! I can do that any time’. The scorching sun is really making me miserable this year. Actually, it does that…
Drunken Noodles – Vegan Pad Kee Mao Recipe
Drunken Noodles is a dish I always order in a Thai restaurant. Tara Thai, that venerable Thai place in Richmond’s Short Pump Mall makes a very good one, and I have been eating their version since way back when I was a carnivore. I just love Thai food but I find that it is easier…
Bunny Chow Recipe – Curry meets South Africa
Bunny Chow sounds so interesting, doesn’t it? It definitely makes you wonder what the name means. Is it made for bunnies, or from bunnies? Well, Bunny Chow isn’t really connected to rabbits in any way. The ‘Bunny’ here refers to baniyas, indentured Indian workers who were transported to South Africa for working on sugar cane…
Tagliatelle Pasta with Garlic and Mushrooms
Tagliatelle Pasta with garlic and mushrooms is my idea of comfort food. I had loads of fresh tomatoes on hand and needed to use them. Mushrooms, always a favorite, provided an earthy flavor and some meaty texture. Lots of garlic added to the potent mix. Cream made it all dreamy. Although I generally associate tagliatelle…
