I will not be participating in such activity (mostly because I can’t be bothered to figure out how to transport myself outside of New York City to go apple picking, not because I hate fun family activities). Instead, I will be sharing an apple recipe with you that I think would be perfect for using up all of the hand-picked local apples you’ve gathered over the last few weeks. So, say hello to this Apple Cinnamon French Toast Casserole!...
Because trust me when I say these Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower bites are addictive, especially when dipped in my vegan ranch dressing. Cauliflower florets are coated in a seasoned batter, baked in the oven, then doused in a spicy, tangy, and slightly sweet buffalo sauce!

This vegan Instant Pot oatmeal recipe is not only budget-friendly but also incredibly easy to make. All you need to do is toss four ingredients (plus water and salt) into the Instant Pot. Set the Instant Pot to the pressure cook setting, and you’ll come back to creamy, delicious oatmeal. Watch! How to make this oatmeal I always use steel-cut oats for the Instant Pot because they get nice and creamy but retain a chewy bite (rolled oats get mushy in the Instant Pot; and definitely steer clear of quick cooking oats)....
I get such a sense of satisfaction from emptying the fridge of the last of the vegetables. Knowing we’ve used up every last bit of fresh food without throwing anything out fills me with all the good feelings. A rogue carrot, a handful of mushrooms and a glut of peppers bought two weeks ago. They all have their uses. Vegan Kadai Tofu & Vegetables: A zero-waste recipe Food waste is such a huge problem today and it makes no sense because there are also so many people struggling to feed themselves and their families....
When it comes to baking, the more lemon that’s involved, the better as far as I’m concerned. I’ve never met anyone who didn’t go weak at the knees for a slice of lemon drizzle cake or three. Have you? Why is Lemon & Saffron such a great flavour combo? One of my favourite flavour combinations has to be lemon and saffron. The humble, sharp lemon against the heady fragrance of saffron is such a winner....

And the answer to those questions is yes, and yes. But for some reason I just have a mental block with pancakes, and I think it’s because I’m a food photographer. I know that if I make pancakes, I’m going to want to take at least a few action shots where I’m drizzling syrup onto the pancakes. And those photos will take some time to get right (always worth it though!...

Life of a Food Blogger People often ask me how I juggle working full time and blogging. Life as a Food Blogger isn’t always as exciting as it seems, there is a lot of work that goes into putting one post together. The key is time management. After work, I generally take an hour’s break and then cook dinner. Cooking actually relaxes me so I don’t usually see it as work, especially if I’m creating a new recipe....
I was raised in the United States majority of my life, but I have a strong affinity towards Bollywood movies — you know, the ones with singing and dancing. I’m not quite sure why I’m drawn to Bollywood movies; perhaps it’s the romantic love stories that never seem to get old in my book, or perhaps the emotions, the drama, and the music, or perhaps just the simplicity of watching a movie for pure leisure....

I decided to try it out with tortellini and make a couple of changes and the result was amazing!...
This quick and simple recipe for the milky, fudgy South Asian sweet, Mango Burfi requires just a handful of ingredients and the texture is just like shop bought burfi. What does Burfi mean? The word ‘burfi’ or ‘barfi‘ in both Hindi and Urdu originates from the Persian term, ‘barfī‘, which literally means ‘icy’ or ‘snowy’. Baraf is also the word for ‘ice’ in Hindi. The connections between these languages runs deep — a ricochet effect of the Mughal Empire, which lasted from 1526-1761....
