"I got 99 problems but a meal ain't 1"
Self-Taught Vegan Chef :: Food Network Champion :: TV Host
I’ve said this a couple of times over the past week, but I love using the Holiday time to create new vegetarian/vegan recipes. Thanksgiving is never big in my house, as my entire family (aside from my immediate family) are in India. And from a personal standpoint, well let me not get started as to …
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 …
I’m a huge snacker – I think I get it from my mama. We have this incredible ability to eat containers of Indian snacks and forgo real meals. Incredible I tell ya. But as I get older, ehem 30 ehem, I can’t really afford to be eating bags and containers full of fried Indian goodness. …
As a native Staten Island-er, I’ve eaten SO much bruschetta, so this recipe is very special to me! I’ve contributed my second recipe of the year to the Staten Island Advance – Masala Chickpea Bruschetta! It is LIVE today!! Check it out on SI Advance and below! ——- Bruschetta is super popular. I probably encountered …
Did you catch my Holiday ‘Steak’ dinner in the Staten Island Advance? No?! Shame on you!! You’re lucky I got you covered – link and below <3 Happy Holidays friends! Steak. What do you think of when you hear that word? Probably not what I think of. Ah, I still remember my first trip to …
Have you even juiced today?! “Juicing” has been all the rage for the past couple of years – people are spending upwards of $10+ on a glass of organic, raw, pressed, blah blah blah – you name it – juice! BUT have you had Lumi Juice? I had the pleasure of meeting them at Condé …
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! I’ll be doing a series of ‘Indian Twists on Italian Classics!’ As you all know, I’m born and bred in Staten Island, …
‘Nacho Average Cook’- said the girl with red glasses making a sandwich that’s about to “blow your mind.” I find it really weird to refer to myself in third person, so I’ll stop while I’m at it. But YES. I competed in Food Network’s Cooks vs Cons Season 5, Episode 12 and WON! It was such …
This might potentially be my fifth, sixth, seventh (?) French Toast recipe on chefpriyanka.com. I think its one of those underestimated dishes. It can be made sweet, savory, Indian – you name it! But what I hate about ordering French Toast at a restaurant, is that it most always is bettered in egg and definitely NOT …
