I featured a recipe using PAN flour (white corn maize), at the end of last year, using it to make some Arepa’s for Mr. B. https://tasha.kitchen/2015/12/06/arepas-corn-cakes/ PAN is most often used for Mexican food, for tortillas, tamales, arepa’s and empanadas. It can also be used for gluten free pancakes, pizza, cakes and flatbread. It is …
Food is everything we are; it’s an extension of identity, your personal history, your childhood, your development, your family tree and your grandma’s love. We used to call this dish Mug growing up and as a kid I used to make a lot of fuss when I was served it. The Moong Dal when cooked …
This is a really easy, relatively healthy and very sentimental recipe for me. Loli is a Sindhi* breakfast dish. In all honesty it is much more than this as it is the quintessential Indian ‘on the go’ travel food and because of this it plays a prominent role in family life and memories. It is …
This is an old colonial dish, said to have been created as a mix of kitcherie, a classic Indian dish of rice and legumes and a Scottish addition through smoked haddock. This recipe is an adaptation of Jamie Oliver’s recipe. I prefer to make things a little easier and quicker, and so I use pre-cooked, …
I titled this recipe cream cheese, because without hesitation or reproach all of my guests thought it was cream cheese, just a little lighter. Luckily for me, who is sans lactose, this dish was made with tofu (da-da-dah.) It is so light and pure, it is good as a dip with crudité, or if …
This recipe is so fantastic, that it can be used as a raw pate, cooked to create a falafel or turned into meatballs. Unlike a falafel the middle is still soft, which I actually quite like. Other cooks use them as vegan meatballs by enveloping them in a tomato based sauce. I don’t think they would …
My favorite way to eat vegetables is straight from the BBQ with a little hint of smokiness and char. I also love seeing those perfect grill lines, as it reminds me of the Mediterranean and eating fresh vegetables and fish by the sea. Since I use a grill pan in this recipe, it is advisable …
I have posted this one before but it is such a wonderful recipe for its ease, health and taste that I thought it was worth posting again I have also made it so many times that I have found a better cooking technique, which is always good if you are trying to do something in …
I love these little pockets of joy, they are so fresh and tasty with the added zing you get from the herbs, like in so many Vietnamese dishes. The almond butter dipping sauce is a wonderful addition, and I got the recipe from ‘the minimalist baker’ whose clean living blog is phenomenal and deserves …
Nasu Dengaku is a classic Japanese dish made with eggplant brushed with a sweet, salty miso glaze-umami at its best I use this marinade on other creations too, like asparagus or broccoli for an extra dimension The dish takes 5 minutes to prepare and 7 minutes to cook and is good as a side dish …
