I don’t often come across smoked tofu, but when I do, it adds a depth of aroma and flavour to any dish, especially when paired with smoked paprika. If smoke is not a favoured taste, feel free to use regular, firm tofu and switch up the spices for this recipe. The Ras el hanout adds… Continue reading Smoked Tofu and Paprika Potato Stew
I think I am a bit late to this trend, but I am no stranger to the infinite culinary possibilities of marmite as an umami bomb. I noticed most recipes pair marmite with parmesan cheese, which is a bit too heavy for me, especially combined with a butter base for the sauce. I used tahini… Continue reading Marmite Pasta
This recipe came together organically from whatever I had laying around in the kitchen. Za’atar, lemon, and tahini are flavour combinations that can never go wrong. Beans and potatoes make this soup filling, and it can be served alone or in accompaniment with a feast. This recipe serves two. Ingredients 2 Tbsp. ghee or olive… Continue reading Za’atar Lemon Tahini White Beans and Potatoes
I have a big move coming up in my life, and I have learned a couple Ayurveda habits to keep me grounded during the transition and well-fed in airports during long layovers. The first food I prepare is baked sweet potatoes the morning of my trip. They are satiating, warm, and dry, so they get… Continue reading Preparing for Travel: Ghee-Soaked Dates
For those who are hungry right now and need a meal 10 minutes ago, this one is quick. Make a warm cup of tea to quell that hunger, and get to work on this one. Combine the ingredients in a pot and set to cooking in a pressure cooker or on the stove. Blend the… Continue reading Butternut Squash Lentil Soup with Spiced Rice
I must confess, I made this dish at the end of summer just as the leaves began to turn when the last tomatoes of the season were ripening on the vines. I would not recommend using tomatoes in this dish in the winter, but it is still delicious. I used besan flour (chickpea flour) as… Continue reading Beetroot Besan Sautéed Vegetables
Lentil soup is a favorite of my mother’s, and this season is the perfect time to make yourself a serving to enjoy with family. The spices are calming to the mind, and the added sweet potato (which can be substituted for any potato) gives you heartiness to fill you and keep you warm for hours.… Continue reading Stovetop Lentil Soup
I love kabocha squash. I will go on record now saying it is the best squash, and I will defend it at all costs. It is rich, savory, and adds a wonderful creaminess when blended in this soup. It can honestly be used as a substitute for egg yolks because it gives that equivalent taste,… Continue reading Kabocha Squash and Fennel Soup
Confession time. I started this recipe out attempting to make bagels. I live in a fairly dry climate, so I am accustomed to using wet doughs, which always create wonderful breads. However, I knew when I turned out this dough that it would not last the water bath required for bagels to get their signature… Continue reading Everything Burger Buns
Ok. You may be looking at this recipe and thinking, this looks like pork dumplings without the wrappers. You, my friend, would be correct. I created this filling, was ready to make dumplings, and learned that my wrappers had gone sour in the fridge. So, in a state of simultaneous dejection and determination to not… Continue reading Garlic Ginger Pork Meatballs
