I had a sudden craving for a veggie burger, but with an Indian flair. In India, you’ll find different variations of veggie burgers, for instance- Frankies, Kati Rolls (which btw The Kati Roll Company on W 39th is amazing) , Vada Pav, Aloo Tikki etc. These are all essentially different forms of a veggie burger. …
People here (NYC) aren’t really deprived of a good drink. But from time-to-time you can come across a bad bar or overpriced dilluted drink. From my experience (and of course a little help from older, cooler siblings), I’ve narrowed down a few places that I think serve good drinks, and drinks that are worth the …
(Image Source) How many times have you heard this from a friend who’s trying to lose weight before the summer or just in general? Honestly, I find it silly. I feel like people aren’t aware of the way foods can be made healthy, so they just avoid it. I’m not a certified dietician or …
Don’t need much of an introduction for these yummy pops, besides mentioning that they’re CRAZY easy to make and I used a slightly ghetto cake-pop method. What! I wanted cake pops fast and I was tired! Jeez, a chef can take some shortcuts! Anyways, I used Betty Crocker chocolate Chip Cookie mix and instead of …
St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner and even if you’re not Irish, doesn’t mean you can’t partake in the festivities!

I recently was gifted the recipe book- ‘What’s New Cupcake?’ by Karen Tack and Alan Richardson. Let me just say this is probably my new favorite cookbook! Every cupcake is like a cartoon! Bears, race cars, golf course- you name it, it’s a cupcake! The first one to catch my eye was the Walrus! I …
You’re probably thinking how is this Eggless French Toast possible?! Well it is! I woke up this past Sunday morning with a sudden craving for french toast. I’m usually more of a home fries, cheesy-omlette type of person, but I can use a little bit of sweet-stickyness from time to time! So I decided why …
About 2 weeks ago, my boyfriend and I decided to dine like the rich- well, at least feel rich during restaurant week! If you don’t know what restaurant week is (which I hope is not the case, because it’s awesome and should be taken advantage of!!), it happens 2-3 times a year, where upscale Manhattan …
To keep fresh vegetables and herbs, well, fresh just remember not to wash them and store them in the fridge. The moisture from the water, combined with the oozing oxygen and moisture from the vegetables, will make it spoil much faster. So, just make sure to wrap your herbs in a dry paper towel and store in …
Growing up I wasn’t a very big fan of Valentine’s Day. I don’t really like red roses and I hate hearts (maybe I’m traumatized by all the heart shaped jewelry that Staten Island girls wore). But, nonetheless I do like to indulge in chocolate and desserts whether or not I have a valentine. There’s no …
