Yes, there are a lot of ingredients in this curry recipe but be encouraged that it is well worth it. I made a point of saving 4 cups of turkey from Thanksgiving so I could make this Indian/British recipe. For some time I have been enjoying Indian cuisine and have gradually added many of the … Continue reading
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. I also checked the one cookbook I have that Meera published “Made in India: Recipes from an Indian Family Kitchen,” 2015 and both recipes … Continue reading
You may know that shrimp is a favorite ingredient – it easily adapts to so many flavor profiles and cooks quickly. I used a sweet mango chutney to serve from Brooklyn Delhi, a favorite Indian company who also has a spicy mango chutney. This recipe comes from New York Times Cooking by Zainab Shah.
I received an email recipe from seriouseats.com which sounded so good that I had to try it. They called it the cauliflower dish you will want to make every day of the week.

The ending result does depend on the spices you use and there are many. This recipe came to me from Food52 and as … Continue reading
Salmon can be cooked in so many ways and grilling is one of the methods you can use. Our temps were in the 90’s when I made this dish making fish an ideal dinner for hot weather. Salmon is a healthy alternative to high protein meat such as beef and pork and can have very … Continue reading
This is my 1,000 post in six years – that’s right – 1,000 ! Since it is the holiday season I decided a new cookie would be a great way to remember this special occasion. Something different from my gingerbread men, spritz cookies (there are 7 versions) or Mom’s sugar cookies that appear on my … Continue reading
I love this new cookbook “My Two Souths: Blending the Flavors of India Into a Southern Kitchen” by Asha Gomez, winner of the Food 52 Piglet 2017 cookbook competition. I did not really follow this contest but took a look at the cookbooks which were nominated. I have already posted Asha’s “Banana Beignets” recipe which I … Continue reading
