"I got 99 problems but a meal ain't 1"
Self-Taught Vegan Chef :: Food Network Champion :: TV Host
Honestly, never been a huge soup person with a few exceptions – my Maa’s tomato soup with homemade croutons, pasta fagioli (cause I’m basically half Italian growing up in Shaolin), and Panera’s broccoli cheddar soup, until I found out it’s made with chicken stock and has enough fat and sodium for a months worth of …
You have no idea. I have been SEARCHING for a boxed cake mix that is palm oil free, FOREVER. You’re probably already aware of my obsession with cutting out palm oil from my diet (and attempting to get others to as well). I’ve cut out palm oil for 2+ years for environmental reasons. Don’t make …
I’m a sucker for special occasions. Meaning – if someone has a birthday, work accomplishment, life accomplishment – literally anything to celebrate – I will use that as a reason to make something sweet. I had a colleague at work moving to a new office, so I leveraged my resources (lol) to find out what …
I have a CARB-fession. I am in love with bread. You heard it here first. I am NEVER one to shy away from eating a full bread basket at an Italian restaurant, asking for more fresh pita at my favorite Lebanese joint or getting that bread burger bun instead of lettuce wrap for my veggie …

They stuffed the pumpkin with a delicious rice, covered …
I work at Condé Nast – I think most of you knew that by now. When I started here, a lot of friends assumed that I snagged a role at Bon Appétit and Epicurious, but no! I’m still a dork working in Data Science & Business Strategy in corporate. That being said, I am a …
I recently started watching The Chef Show on Netflix with Jon Favreu and Chef Roy Choi. I like it. They go to different state and meet with different local chefs to see how some of their most popular dishes are created. On a recent episode, they were in LA and met with Chef Wes Avila …
I hate Oreos, but made the best Vegan Oreo Cake in all the land of NYC. I’d like to think I aim to please the masses…with my recipes that is. And I have surely proven that with this cake. I strongly dislike Oreos – I may even go as far to say I hate Oreos. …
Do you ever just crave something creamy, indulgent, and sweet, but guilt-free?! Well, welcome to everyday of Chef Priyanka! There are very few products in the marketplace that are good for you AND good for the environment, but So Delicious is one of them! I have been consuming their delish products (see what I did …
