I can’t believe I’m saying this, but introducing my brand new SHOW – MAKE IT VEGAN! Only on my YouTube – so make sure to subscribe! My first ever long-form series where I show you traditionally non-veg dishes, and make them deliciously vegan! I’ll be your host – Priyanka Naik! We have some amazingly talented …
What can we be doing as individuals to help our planet? Well, it starts on our plate. No, I’m not trying to “brainwash” you into becoming vegan, but I am trying to raise awareness on how our actions affect the environment (and mostly negatively, unfortunately). For instance – food waste. Over 40% of the food …
You may or may not have seen this (considering I’ve posted it about it on the interwebs quite a few times now), but my debut vegan cookbook – The Modern Tiffin – is available for PRI-order and we’ve done the cover reveal as well! You can now PRI-order my cookbook anywhere books are sold online, …
You heard that right! Banana peels. No this isn’t a joke and you shouldn’t mock it or immediately turn away. Didn’t think banana peels were edible? Think again. Banana peels actually have more potassium and fiber than the banana flesh. So yeah! They’re edible and nutritious. Most vegetable and fruit skins/peels are edible. You just …
Everything has changed for us this year – some for the better, some for the worse. The one thing that has been a challenge for many, including myself, is the lack of travel. If you have the opportunity and are privileged enough to live a life where you can freely travel, then you likely understand …
Honestly, this doesn’t need a fancy intro. You like cauliflower, I like cauliflower. We’re all screaming for… CAULIFLOWER. But! This ain’t no any old cauliflower rice or cauliflower wings. This is a Whole Roasted Cauli baby (yes I refer to my vegetables as babies. Back off), with a pretty unique marinade. And I recommend starting …
No need for me to re-emphasize my love for JUST egg. It’s super versatile, delish, protein-packed and completely plant based! So when they asked me if I wanted to try their brand new Folded Egg before it hit grocery store freezers, I was beyond eggcited – see what I did there? Heheheh. It’s super convenient …
I know taters get a bad rep and honestly, I don’t know why! Obviously, if we eat anything with high starch and carb content it’s not “good” for you, because those break down into sugars. But anything is moderation is good by me. Plus, I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, being a …
Honestly, never been a huge soup person with a few exceptions – my Maa’s tomato soup with homemade croutons, pasta fagioli (cause I’m basically half Italian growing up in Shaolin), and Panera’s broccoli cheddar soup, until I found out it’s made with chicken stock and has enough fat and sodium for a months worth of …
I recently watched an episode of Anthony Bourdain when he was in Armenia. The social and political historical turmoil of the country was interesting, but of course the food was MUCH more interesting to me. And that’s where I first saw – a Whole Roasted Pumpkin. They stuffed the pumpkin with a delicious rice, covered …
