I can’t believe I’m writing this (or typing it, rather), but I starred in my first car commercial as MYSELF – Chef Priyanka – and it’s for none other than TOYOTA! You heard that right! I am one of the faces for the launch of TOYOTA’s brand new fully electric vehicle the bZ4X for Toyota …
There is nothing stopping me, people! But before I go on about my latest sustainable recipe, I have a disclaimer – please do a small test before eating any fruit or vegetable peels that may not ‘normally’ be consumed. Many folks can easily eat the flesh of the mango, but can be allergic to the …
I was in the mood for some tacos. So, I made some tacos. Anytime I make a dish from any culture (including my own), I feel the need to say – this is by no means “authentic.” I mean, what does “authentic” even mean? I love cooking because you don’t need to follow rigid rules. …
Y’all already know this, but anything involving carbs or bread – I am THERE. Especially when it’s not supposed to be there, I.e., in salads. But that’s where the wonderful Italian creation of Panzanella Salad steps in. A fantastic and carb-loaded way to use up any stale bread (or just not-stale bread). What is Panzanella …
I know this may come as a MASSIVE shock to you all, but I am lazy. I am basically a human version of the sloth (by the way, I love sloths and they’re highly underrated. But that’s for another time). I am a late riser, lover of sweat pants, and binge show watching gal. But …

But, we were invited to a Thanksgiving get together this year, so I decided to be social and attend. To my pleasant …
Let’s get peachy. While stone-fruit season is in session, we must make the best of it! And the best way to do that is by using high quality and sustainable ingredients that compliment that natural juiciness of the peach – not overpower it. This is where Filippo Berio comes in. But before we get into …
Every culture has some form of “pickling,” mainly to help preserve fruits and vegetables over a long period of time. Indians have been pickling veggies and fruits for thousands of years and are known to be one of the oldest cultures to be pickling. There are dozens, if not, hundreds of varieties of pickles within …
Mamma Mia! Just call me Pri-Nonna 😉 Whoever said you can’t have 💣 vegan pizza hasn’t had mine. This is my rendition of one of my favorite pies from my local pizzeria in Staten Island – Goodfellas. They have a “Sally Pie” which is layered potato, onion, rosemary, fresh mozz & a garlic cream sauce, …
I love pasta salad. My Maa made a ton of it when I was little. It’s really easy to make and back in the 90’s when salad dressing mixes in the packet were popular, it was a really easy solution for a busy mom of 3. You can make it ahead of time, store it …
