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 …

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 …

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, …

Rosemary Eggplant Chickpea Pasta

I’ve been eating alternative pastas for several months now. They are SO good! I love that you get the feel and taste of eating pasta, but it’s actually packed with protein and is good for you! I’ve tried several brands at this point of varying price points, and I must say Banza is still my …
