My next installment on my Spain review stops in Valencia – a beautiful Southern coast city named after the abundant Valencia orange trees (which by the way are originally from Valencia, California). This city is like a palm tree lovers HEAVEN, i.e., MY HEAVEN. We traveled on a train from Madrid to Valencia, and the …

We love making Mexican food in our home, and if you follow Chef Priyanka, you probably notice a lot of Mexican recipes on my blog! I feel that the flavors and ingredients used in Mexican cooking are very similar to Indian/Asian food, and that may be why my family and I love it so much! …

Growing up in Staten Island, has allowed me to become accustomed to delicious Italian food. When you go to an Italian restaurant, you’re not only guaranteed bread here, but in most cases your bread is accompanied by a delicious eggplant caponata. It’s a medley of fresh eggplant slowly cooked down with capers, olives, onions and …
This is not one of my traditional Restaurant Review posts, because I’ve actually never been here! Bantam Bagels – have you heard of it?

I decided to pick up a few things – some fresh tomatoes, baby heirlooms, white plums, peaches, cucumbers, etc. I was in a veggie heaven!! As …
