You saw my first recipe on tamarillos…right?? Well you better have! I explain everything I learned and know about tree tomatoes. But, in a nutshell, they are weird and fabulous. Thank you to Tropical Fruit Box for helping me experience my first tamarillo!!! As I was doing more research on them, I saw that there …
Alright we all love churros. I’m pretty sure you all have tried a taquito and I know y’all dig cannolis. And that is exactly what this is. But! Before I continue on with my churro journey, you’re probably wondering why I look so fabulous! Well, this recipe and episode of “Cook With Chef Pri at …
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! I definitely don’t shy away from sharing other recipes that have inspired me or that I have adapted. Sometimes the classics, just need …
It is HOT this summer. No question about it. And while we’re all home with our loved ones, it’s fun to find creative, healthy, and plant-based ways to cool off! And usually this time of year I’m traveling! But alas, the travels have paused. That doesn’t mean we can’t bring a little travel-inspired fun home! …

So naturally, I wanted to bake a little something something. It’s obviously not easy to carry a normal …
I’ve had so many delicious versions of Rajas con Crema around NYC and in Mexico. Obviously, some better than others. But the basic concept of the dish I love – sizzling hot peppers in a creamy sauce served sizzling hot in a cast iron skillet…then scooped up and eaten with warm tortillas. I mean, how …
Alright, alright. I know the internet is swarmed with “Chana Masala” and “Chickpea Curry” recipes – ugh don’t even get my started on the word and use of ‘curry’ RAWR – but I can assure you, there isn’t a recipe out there like this! This Chole is a dish we’ve been making at home, so …
Honestly, never been a huge soup person with a few exceptions – my Maa’s tomato soup with homemade croutons, pasta fagioli (cause I’m basically half Italian growing up in Shaolin), and Panera’s broccoli cheddar soup, until I found out it’s made with chicken stock and has enough fat and sodium for a months worth of …
I’ve said this a couple of times over the past week, but I love using the Holiday time to create new vegetarian/vegan recipes. Thanksgiving is never big in my house, as my entire family (aside from my immediate family) are in India. And from a personal standpoint, well let me not get started as to …
