I have had my fair share of chicken caesar wraps in my life (yes, there was a time I ate chicken – we won’t talk about it). And they’re generally all dissatisfying – overly dressed, too tangy, too creamy, not the right balance of flavors, gloopy – the list goes ON. One thing that is …
When we were little my dad told us that this popular South Indian dish ‘Chicken 65’ was made with 65-day-old chicken. Keep in mind that my dad has been a lifelong vegetarian and has never eaten meat in his life, but he is a surgeon, so that may explain the grotesque detail in his theory. …
I may go as far as to say that focaccia is top tier bread – maybe even among my top 5 favorite breads. So, when the fabulous Jessie Sheehan introduced me to her recipe for a one bowl, no-rise Irish-inspired focaccia, I couldn’t resist. But we didn’t just stop there – we took her already …

I wish I was any other New Yorker and said “yes, I LOVE cheesecake!” But the fact of the matter is – I don’t! I know, blasphemy! Obviously I grew up with cheesecake all around us, being a native New Yorker. Something about the texture just threw me off. I found it to be really …
I can’t believe we’re on Episode TEN – yes, that’s 10 – of My Ecokitchen! This week was Earth Day, but as you all know, I try and celebrate the Earth everyday. As exhibited by Episode 10. Beets are polarizing – people either hate them or love them. I happen to be in the LOVE …
It’s my Super Bowl aka EARTH DAY! But, who am I kidding?! Earth Day is EVERY day for me. I try to respect, honor and cherish the earth everyday – she does so much for us and has given us so much, shouldn’t we at least try to give back to her a little? She’s …
