I cannot believe I am saying these words, but I am hosting my first ever debut cookbook launch party in partnership with Our/NewYork in Chelsea, Manhattan and YOU’RE INVITED! That’s right! The party is on Nov 2 – the day my book is published, hits bookshelves worldwide and you will receive it in your mailboxes …
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, …
Sorry, I have been missing in action here. Keyword – action. There’s been a lot going on behind the scenes in order to prepare for the publish date for my debut cookbook The Modern Tiffin, tons of brand partnership work, selling my NYC condo (yes, it’s on the market and you can check it out here!), and …

Have you been following my self-produced series My Ecokitchen? Well, if you haven’t been, here is Episode 1 (I wouldn’t want you to miss anything, now would I?!). Earth Day is a time for us to recognize all that Mother Earth has provided to us and for us to give back. However, we should celebrate …
I’m still on a spring produce binge! It’s the best time to scour your farmers markets for delicious, in-season and cheap produce! Plus, when produce are in season they are at the height of their nutrient content. So it’s a win win! I had a beet kick this time around and I know there can …
