Mexico City or CDMX is a hot spot now! Every other weekend, I know someone new visiting there! Why? My assumption is the proximity to America, frequent & direct flights, short flight time, favorable USD to Peso conversion, and most importantly a potential, disastrous and silly looming wall to be built [rolls eyes]. I visited …
Middle Eastern Dinner for 2 in Less than 1 Hour
Move over Halal Guys – I got a simple and delish Middle-Eastern inspired meal thats perfect for a ANY day of the year (see what I did there, ha). After Indian and some Asian cuisine, I’ve always felt that Middle-Eastern food has the most vegan options. I was feeling inspired this weekend and put together …
15 Minute Vegan Vodka Sauce
I grew up eating vodka sauce as much as I ate my moms homemade chapati. As I’ve mentioned several times before, Italian food is just as important in my life as Indian food given my childhood in good ole’ Staten Island. Vodka sauce is the best – creamy, garlicky, just a hint of tomato but …
18 Milestones Crossed in 2018 by Chef Priyanka
As 2018 comes to a close – well, considering it’s the last day and I’m a bit of a procrastinator we can safely say it’s pretty much complete – I wanted to take a moment to recap on all of the food things! A lot of things happened this year, in the Chef Pri world …
Saffron Cardamom Spritzer
PSA: This is Chef Priyanka’s LAST recipe of 2018! Yup, isn’t it crazy to think that in less than a week we are going to start a whole new year?! I can easily say, I’m not mentally prepared for that. But to celebrate whatever days are remaining of 2018, I’ve created a festive, Indian-inspired, sparkly …
Saffron Risotto with Charred Rainbow Carrots
I’ve said this a couple of times over the past week, but I love using the Holiday time to create new vegetarian/vegan recipes. Thanksgiving is never big in my house, as my entire family (aside from my immediate family) are in India. And from a personal standpoint, well let me not get started as to …
10 Minute Vegan Peanut Butter French Toast, Raspberry-Banana Compote
Guys, are you lazy AF (AF = as fack, just learned that recently cause I’m old AF) like I am, but hungry AF as I am? Do you sometimes get some sweet cravings, but don’t want to binge on some non-vegan BS and whale out? Well this is the breakfast for you! And totally just …
What it was like to cook ~1000 portions for Food Loves Tech
This past weekend by some chance (and persistence) I was featured as a chef at Food Loves Tech for the amazing Farm.One! You really need to check them and if you live in the NYC area, definitely pay them a visit in Tribeca! But what I would like to focus on in this post is …
Vegan Mac and Cheese (Indian Spiced, Protein Packed!)
I don’t think there’s an American classic that I like better than good ole’ Mac and Cheese. Well, corn bread is a close second. But since I’ve been actively trying to go vegan, I haven’t really eaten Mac and Cheese at all! And… I MISS IT!! As I’m exploring vegan cheeses, I’m evaluating their taste, …
Sweet n’ Spicy Asian Eggplant Stir-Fry
Sometimes you just need a good ole stir-fry. Something quick, easy, and perfect for a lazy Pri. That’s exactly what this Eggplant Stir-Fry is!! You probably have all of the ingredients already. Just mix a few things together and BAM, you got yourself a weeknight dinner in under 30 minutes, for sure! You can use …
