Roasted Tamarillo (Tree Tomato) Salsa
Tamarillo – have you heard of these before? No, not tomatillos, tamarillos! They are also referred to as ‘tree tomatoes’ in English. This is the first time I’m working with them and even eating them!

Coffee Cake with Homemade Gooey Caramel Drizzle (Vegan)
I take a lot of pride in the recipes I develop. I mean, who wouldn’t? There is time, effort, and most importantly, creativity and imagination that goes into the development process. But!

Vegan Rajas Con Crema
I’ve had so many delicious versions of Rajas con Crema around NYC and in Mexico. Obviously, some better than others.

Copycat Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme, Vegan
I love it, you love it, we all love it. TACO BELL. I can confidently say that I have not met an Indian person (at least in the States) that dislikes Taco Bell, or even a non-Indian person. It is the only fast food chain that caters to vegetarian AND vegans for a long time, …
