"I got 99 problems but a meal ain't 1"
Self-Taught Vegan Chef :: Food Network Champion :: TV Host
I usually make recipes that fit into a “meal” – you know, like a breakfast, lunch or dinner. But I wanted to change it up and I low-key LOVE granola. It’s so good! So much texture, flavor, and super high in nutrients! Of course, I wanted to make a Chef Pri spin on granola that …
I am born & raised in Staten Island (aka Shaolin) and yes I mention this all the time, because rarely do you find first generation Indian families on Staten Island. But given the fact that I’m born in SI almost makes me half Italian…right?! LOL! What I mean by that is I looove Italian food …
Drop that Grilled Cheese & Tomato Sauce because there is a hotter, sassier, AND browner girl in town. Yes, I have done the unthinkable but dreamt about – Grilled Cheese with Tikka Masala Dip – 100% vegan!!! Ok y’all likely know my sentiments on Tikka Masala (Chicken Tikka Masala) by now – it is NOT …
I have to admit – I’ve never actually eaten ceviche before. BUT, I’ve been to enough Latin American restaurants and seen my middle sister eat it enough (she lives in Miami) to have a sense of what it might taste like. It always looked like a cross between an Indian koshumbri (Kannada for cold side …
I had a little picnic this past weekend with friends (well, with whatever friends were actually still in the city since everyone is fleeing like birds migrating south in a panic) for a little belated birthday celebration. So naturally, I wanted to bake a little something something. It’s obviously not easy to carry a normal …
Everything has changed for us this year – some for the better, some for the worse. The one thing that has been a challenge for many, including myself, is the lack of travel. If you have the opportunity and are privileged enough to live a life where you can freely travel, then you likely understand …
I was originally going to leave this recipe just for my IGTV, but since it was featured in my CNN interview, there has been some hot demand! Everyone is tryna’ get a slice, ha! Get it? Come on, so phunny! But in all seriousness, I’m so happy people are taking more of an interest in …
I’ve had so many delicious versions of Rajas con Crema around NYC and in Mexico. Obviously, some better than others. But the basic concept of the dish I love – sizzling hot peppers in a creamy sauce served sizzling hot in a cast iron skillet…then scooped up and eaten with warm tortillas. I mean, how …
I love it, you love it, we all love it. TACO BELL. I can confidently say that I have not met an Indian person (at least in the States) that dislikes Taco Bell, or even a non-Indian person. It is the only fast food chain that caters to vegetarian AND vegans for a long time, …
Let me start by saying that if you are not a chocolate chip cookie fan, you are not human. I literally do not know a soul that doesn’t like a classic chocolate chip cookie – even people who HATE chocolate like chocolate chip cookies. We grew up on the classic refrigerated pillsbury dough roll (where …
