Dessert is always on my mind. In the morning, in the evening and anytime in between. I cannot deny my enormous sweet tooth, but I can be better about what I consume – not only for myself, but for the environment. You didn’t thinking I was swaying away from My Ecokitchen series, did you?! Nahhhhhh. We’re …
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 …
This is a special blog post and episode of “Cook With Chef Pri at 3,” because we have MUCH to celebrate! This whole year has been so difficult for many of us, including myself and my family. I think most of you know that I lost my Aai (maternal grandmother) in Belgaum, India to COVID-19. …
Watch out Milk Bar. There is a new Cake Truffle in town – and she’s sassy, sweet, decadent, and VEGAN. So believe it or not, this recipe is actually an accident! I set out to my a cake for myself to celebrate the launch of…. my appearance on Quibi‘s Dishmantled! And WHY am I celebrating?! …
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 wake up with a sudden sweet craving and in your mind you’re screaming “I WANT EFFING PANCAKESSS & WAFFLES AND SYRUP DRIPPING EVERYWHERE” – and I ain’t talking about Jack Johnson’s banana pancakes (get those white boy pancakes outta here). This is exactly what happened to me this morning – heck, …
I was craving brownies. I mean who doesn’t crave brownies?! Generally moist, chocolatey, fudgy – just delish! But I wanted to keep it light and vegan. I was browsing a few recipes for vegan brownies and stumbled upon Chocolate Covered Katie. I loved it. The recipe is super simple, uses regular ingredients (so not like …
My mom has a BOMB banana bread recipe that we’ve been using for years – super moist, chocolatey, and a sure crowd pleaser. But the recipe calls for eggs and yogurt – that’s what helps is stay moist. I don’t think its easy to recreate a vegan version of that recipe exactly, but one can …
Sometimes a gal just needs chocolate. A quick and satisfying chocolate fix that you don’t feel guilt about. Don’t get me wrong – I love my chocolate cakes, chocolate mousse, straight up dark chocolate truffles – but most of that requires time, contains dairy and eggs, AND makes one feel guilty. Avocado is amazing in …
Did you eat Almond Joys or Mounds as a kid (or now, no shame)? Well, I did. I LOVE the combo of coconut and dark chocolate. It’s truly a classic. Coconut gives a tropical feel, while the dark chocolate adds a hint of French decadence. But onto the real topic – stolen bread. I am …
