And this comes ready in no time! What Are Pickled Eggs? Pickled Eggs are typically hard-boiled eggs soaked in a vinegar-based solution for days or months....

Pickling has been around for thousands of years and a necessity to help preserve food for a long period of time. You know during those times they didn’t have refrigerators to keep their perishables and it was one way to keep their food from spoiling. The fermentation process creates good bacteria, which is why it’s so common in a lot of traditional food preparation techniques. I personally just love any side of the pickled dish....

Pineapple Patholis are steamed cakes or dumplings where the rice batter is filled with pineapple coconut jaggery mixture and steamed in turmeric leaves.

For those who don’t know what ‘raita’ is – it is an Indian side dish made with curd. Raita is usually served with the main course to balance the spiciness of curries. It is like a dipping sauce.

Oh God, it is one of my favourite side dishes to accompany the spicy Indian main course....

Why We Love this Chicken Mole Recipe We love a certain little Mexican restaurant in town, primarily because of their Pollo con Mole – AKA chicken smothered in a chocolate Mole sauce. The taste is so deliciously smoky, rich, and slightly sweet, it seriously makes you want to lick the plate… Mole, however, is a labor of love. Although the steps are not complicated, it does take numerous ingredients to create its unique flavor, plus a significant amount of time....

However, I feel sharing all the wonderful places to eat and foods to enjoy in Paris only lifts this marvelous city. Paris relies on tourism to sustain it’s local businesses.

The Concept of Salad Jar Of course, bringing your salad to work is not the newest idea in the world. But, when you pack salad in a regular container, the layers are lost, and the delicate greens are wilted; in short, the salad loses its soul of freshness. With dressing at the bottom of the jar topped with protein and delicate greens at the topmost, the salad jar is the best and the most practical way of packing a salad for lunch on the go....

It was inevitable that at some point it would find it’s way into a cheesecake recipe of mine....

I always love that over salad or salsa, and so do all my family members and friends....

About Shakshuka If you’ve never tried or heard of this egg dish, I highly urge you to try the shakshuka recipe.

This dish’s simplicity is the BIGGEST SELLING POINT – fresh flavours, good protein, and super easy to make....

Aging. It’s not all bad. Yes, there is the occasional discovery of a gray hair, or a once cute freckle-turned sun spot. There is the sporadic ache in the back when you sit up in bed.
