"I got 99 problems but a meal ain't 1"
Self-Taught Vegan Chef :: Food Network Champion :: TV Host
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 …
Sometimes you just need a good ole stir-fry. Something quick, easy, and perfect for a lazy Pri. That’s exactly what this Eggplant Stir-Fry is!! You probably have all of the ingredients already. Just mix a few things together and BAM, you got yourself a weeknight dinner in under 30 minutes, for sure! You can use …
Have I ever told you that I am lazy AF? Yup. Secret is out. I. am. lazy. Why do you think I’m always making these “one pan” meals?! I ain’t got time to clean and slave in the kitchen! But I still want gourmet. So whatEVER does a girl do? You use your noggin, ha! …

Us FOBs LOVE our peanuts. I don’t think many people here (i.e., in America) know that Indians love cooking with and eating peanuts. Most Indian food in restaurants is North Indian or Punjabi – they don’t cook with peanuts a lot. But us Southies cook with peanuts in a bunch of different ways! Snacks, sauces, …
You know how you go to Indian restaurants and order Chicken Tikka Masala? Oh, you don’t? Yeah right! I’m convinced that Chicken Tikka Masala is the mostly widely known and ordered dish at Indian restaurants in America. I don’t blame people – it is a very good dish, however its not vegetarian (obviously) and can …
Chef Priyanka readers! Some of you may have noticed that I have been working on a few different things lately, mainly developing sponsored content and most recently freelancing for the Staten Island Advance!
