I found this recipe in my favorite magazine from the UK, (Grazia) that my mum is kind enough to send over with friends and relatives in amazing care packages, which also include delights such as earl grey tea, Waitrose chef ingredients and M&S underwear. The magazine always includes a new and ‘up and coming’ …
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 …
‘Those we love don’t walk away, they stay beside us everyday’ This is another of our family favorite dishes. We used to eat it every Monday growing up and my grandma used to break her Monday fast with it. It is an Indian version chicken soup, nourishing for the tummy and soul, with many medicinal …
This recipe was a request from my beautiful cousin Melanie-Jane who was born in Africa, Zambia and spent the early days of her childhood with my Grandma. She remembered this as a dip that my grandma would serve with Samosa’s and Pakora’s. Samosa’s are little parcels of joy and my grandma’s version were practically famous …

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 …
Every restaurant in the USA serves Brussel Sprouts, they serve them at farm to table restaurants, steak restaurants, I’ve even seen them at sushi restaurants. For me and I would suspect most English people I know, Brussel Sprouts are something to be feared. They rear their heads at Christmas mainly, more often than not over boiled and …
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 …
