"I got 99 problems but a meal ain't 1"
Self-Taught Vegan Chef :: Food Network Champion :: TV Host
Y’all are stuck with a boat load of Thanksgiving leftovers right? I for one am not, because we’re not really into Thanksgiving and I am personally not a massive fan of Thanksgiving food. But, we were invited to a Thanksgiving get together this year, so I decided to be social and attend. To my pleasant …
You read that right. I was on two of the largest American daytime TV shows in the span of three weeks cooking up a storm of recipes from my debut cookbook The Modern Tiffin! I was on The Kelly Clarkson Show on Monday October 25th and the TODAY Show on Thursday November 18th. And in …
The title is self explanatory, but if you insist: a decadent pecan pie enrobed in chocolate set in the butteriest crust & 100% vegan!
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 …

I started my new job last week and found out that there are a ton of perks. One is being able to sign up for a bi-weekly organic vegetable delivery in the summer-fall months, and a percentage of the proceeds goes to charity. I actually don’t know all the details, but what I do know …
It all started at work. A fellow colleague – who shall remain anonymous – of mine began to grow his own yeast and bring in fresh baked loaves of sour dough bread. Long story short, I challenged him to a bread bake-off, or what we like to call a ‘Bread-Off.’ The first week started off …
I love a good potato salad. I think it’s because I grew up in NYC and you can find potato salad pretty much in every deli. I love the creaminess and tanginess and it goes well with pretty much everything. I had a BBQ this weekend, and decided to make a classic potato salad to …
