Even though orzo is an Italian pasta, I feel like it doesn’t have to be cooked in a traditional Italian manner. Then again, nothing has to be cooked with rules or regulations (that’s why I love to cook!). When I think of orzo I think Italian, Moroccan and a bit Middle Eastern. So I basically …

Ganesh Chaturthi is a big deal in my house, as we are Maharashtrian. For those of you (and probably quite a few of you) who don’t know what Ganesh Chatruthi is, it is the celebration of one of the most widely-known Hindu deities- Ganesh (the one with the elephant head a healthy man’s body, haha). …
