I was tasked with (as I usually am) making a treat for a colleagues baby shower. We know he is having a girl, so I went the traditional route. I don’t make many desserts that are completely pink in nature, so I figured why not? Plus I got these awesome strawberries from Fresh Direct that …
I saw a Chef Geoffrey Zakarian post a short video about a contest for Kitchen Aid. I was immediately interested. Prizes include Kitchen Aid appliances and most importantly cooking lessons from Geoffrey Zakarian himself! The challenge was to create an original recipe using apples.

Sometimes I like to step away from traditional recipes and cooking. Wait, who am I kidding!? That’s pretty much what I do majority of the time. My mom recently bought me some groceries (yesss wonderful feeling) and one of the items I had requested was some baby spinach. When I came home from work one …
You would think that as a 1st generation Indian, mango would be one of my favorite fruits. Yeah, it’s definitely…not. I don’t know- for some reason I’m just not into mango. I only like ‘kent’ mangoes, which come during the summer and are fiber-less. Otherwise, mangoes tend to be mushy and fiber-full. I also think …
I’m sure you know by now that I have a huge sweet tooth and will always given in to something chocolatey. I was bored one day and was really in the mood for a strawberry shortcake, but I wanted chocolate as well. So what better way to combine chocolate and strawberries than in a cupcake?! …
