Since I made Meera’s chicken curry I thought I would also make her version of naan. Both the curry and the naan recipes were adapted by Sam Sifton from NYT Cooking.

It’s time for another Ina Garten recipe and she found this treasure in a book called Spa Food by Edward J. Safdie. I do love lentils and often use them in soups, stews and such. Whenever Ina worked at the Barefoot Contessa many years ago she would make huge pots of this. It’s got to be … Continue reading
