"I got 99 problems but a meal ain't 1"

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 recently started watching The Chef Show on Netflix with Jon Favreu and Chef Roy Choi. I like it. They go to different state and meet with different local chefs to see how some of their most popular dishes are created. On a recent episode, they were in LA and met with Chef Wes Avila …
I have a qualm. If you’ve been following me for 2 or more years now, I’ve been going on and on about palm oil. I’m not going to go on about it now, as I’ve exhausted my words for it. And you should already now how detrimental it is to the environment, animals, and ecosystem. …
I don’t understand why we only have one day to celebrate the Earth. We live on it 24/7/365 days a year, so I don’t understand why we wouldn’t celebrate it everyday. I don’t make the rules, but I sure can do my best to break ’em! I’m trying to live a more sustainable life everyday …
When I was in Thailand a couple of years ago, there were so many cool noodle dishes that were a hell of a lot more than just Pad Thai – don’t get me wrong, I had my delicious fair share of Pad Thai cause it was amazing there. But I saw a lot of cool …
By now you should know my obsession with pasta alternatives, i.e., pastas that are made out of different legumes rather than starch, so I can freely stuff my face with “pasta,” but be healthy at the same time! The geniuses at Banza have created a new addition to their line of pasta alternatives – a …
![5 Best Things to Eat in Mexico City [CDMX]!](https://www.chefpriyanka.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Coyoacan_Market-1-450x300.jpg)
Mexico City or CDMX is a hot spot now! Every other weekend, I know someone new visiting there! Why? My assumption is the proximity to America, frequent & direct flights, short flight time, favorable USD to Peso conversion, and most importantly a potential, disastrous and silly looming wall to be built [rolls eyes]. I visited …
Move over Halal Guys – I got a simple and delish Middle-Eastern inspired meal thats perfect for a ANY day of the year (see what I did there, ha). After Indian and some Asian cuisine, I’ve always felt that Middle-Eastern food has the most vegan options. I was feeling inspired this weekend and put together …
I grew up eating vodka sauce as much as I ate my moms homemade chapati. As I’ve mentioned several times before, Italian food is just as important in my life as Indian food given my childhood in good ole’ Staten Island. Vodka sauce is the best – creamy, garlicky, just a hint of tomato but …
PSA: This is Chef Priyanka’s LAST recipe of 2018! Yup, isn’t it crazy to think that in less than a week we are going to start a whole new year?! I can easily say, I’m not mentally prepared for that. But to celebrate whatever days are remaining of 2018, I’ve created a festive, Indian-inspired, sparkly …
