Drop that Grilled Cheese & Tomato Sauce because there is a hotter, sassier, AND browner girl in town. Yes, I have done the unthinkable but dreamt about – Grilled Cheese with Tikka Masala Dip – 100% vegan!!! Ok y’all likely know my sentiments on Tikka Masala (Chicken Tikka Masala) by now – it is NOT …
There are a ton of nut and seeds butters out there now and I love it! I think it’s a healthy trend, but as with anything, we should be cognizant of where our food is coming from, how it’s being sourced, and how the effects are on the quality of the product. So when SoCo, …
It’s Toast Tuesday AND Galentine’s Day! I actually didn’t even know that was a thing, but it is! I’ve collaborated with my long-time friend and fellow West Coast foodie Aleesha Patel aka SavoredSpoon to create a VEGAN Sweet n’Sour Toast! I love love love this collaboration – it’s totally representative of our personalities and was …
This might potentially be my fifth, sixth, seventh (?) French Toast recipe on chefpriyanka.com. I think its one of those underestimated dishes. It can be made sweet, savory, Indian – you name it!

Grilled cheese is usually thought of as a something one used to eat as a kid. But more and more I’m seeing this gourmet grilled cheeses – trucks, shops, etc. Melt Shop and Murrays Cheese Bar are a few popular places. I feel that these places are good, but honestly quite mediocre for that they …
I was surprised at myself when I realized that I had never made foccacia bread before! A couple of weeks ago we had out final ‘Bread-Off’ at VivaKi. It was our third and final ‘Bread-Off,’ as I left VivaKi just on Friday (yes, I’m very sad). We decided to do something easy, but still traditional …
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 …
Its finally that time of year – pumpkin EVERYTHING! I love the taste of pumpkin and love that it is so versatile. It can be made spicy, sweet, sautéed, baked, pureed, etc – you name it and it can be done. I wanted to make some simple, yet elegant and fun. I decided to make …
