I learnt some traditional dishes from my mother, but not very good at it. After my marriage, I came to USA last November and started cooking on my own. If I were in India my mother or mother-in-law would have helped me, but here I have to learn on my own(thats so sad!!!!!). First I used to follow youtube videos by vahchef and now Im able to cook on my own. I love the way how he explains and explores the dish. He is always...

I wanted to upload this video as soon as it was ready, so I will add more info to this post as needed. The photo you see here is me testing whether the dough had received enough kneading.

Recipe by JenWhen you live in (or near) the country, there is no shortage of produce. You will be bound to meet a few friends who tend to garden faster than they could eat, and in the summer, theyll try to offer you as many tomatoes, squashes, cucumbers and apples as they can, which you will gladly accept because homegrown veggies and fruits are always better than store-bought. But this summer was a special one. This summer I...

Rutabaga is, in my opinion, a grossly under-rated vegetable. Its delicious all on its own, but it dresses  up really well too.  Just to give you another way of measuring the rutabaga, you want about half of a large one. Im saying 2 to 4 servings, but this is awfully good so 2 is probably more accurate, unless you are serving a lot of other choices at the same time.  2 to 4 servings30 minutes - 20 minutes prep time500...

One of the things that didn’t make my list of “Things My 21-Year-Old Self Would Be Embarrassed to Know About My 28-Year-Self” post is my Saturday morning routine. For the past couple months, I’ve kicked off the weekend by rolling out of bed, only to roll onto the couch and watch back-to-back cooking shows on Food Network, specifically, The Pioneer Woman, Barefoot Contessa, and of course, Giada at Home. While I don’t know...

Readers' hands-down favorite: my flourless chocolate cake.Flourless Chocolate Heaven-Perfection for a Gluten-Free Diet This is my go-to dessert whenever I'm having guests. Everyone loves it. And the best part is- the recipe is inherently gluten-free. No substitutions. In fact, this is the same flourless cake I've been making for years. It never contained flour. The only thing I've tweaked post-celiac diagnosis is adding more coffee...

Once you try this very simple, chocolate fudge glaze, you will be sold on it. I use it for a wide variety of things because it just takes a minute to whip up, it is delicious and provides a thick shiny glaze. I pour it on brownies while they are still hot & in the pan. You can dip cupcakes or cookies into it or pour it over a cake. It is thick, sweet, super smooth and even stays shiny after it dries (very pretty). I hope you...
