Elevating Culinary Artistry
I call it a magic ingredient as there are so many numerous possibilities with this humble vegetable. Beetroot is healthy and tastes so good, making it effortless to create something. It need not be cooked as a vegetable or eaten raw. Beetroot is high in antioxidants and helps improve your gut health, apart from numerous other health benefits.
A dish that tastes pure bliss and looks so good. The roasted butternut squash slices with lightly caramelized edges look beautiful and contrast with couscous. I love the texture of pearl couscous, but you can also use regular couscous. Butternut squash tastes amazing with middle eastern flavors and spices. Salty feta cheese and sweet squash together make you come back for more.
Coconut lemon panna cotta with blueberry compote looks delicate and classy on your dinner table. I have always preferred using
Cauliflower Mac and cheese looks and tastes almost like Mac and Cheese. If you don’t believe me, ask my son. He happily eats and returns for a second and third helping, occasionally.
When you want something meaty without the meat, Portobello mushrooms are delicious and add so much flavor to a dish. Spaghetti with lemon and garlic Portobello mushrooms was one fantastic meal I prepared over the weekend.
I had started with the idea of making a simple watermelon salad but stayed a little longer in the kitchen to use the leftover bits of watermelon to make a jelly. I am glad I have a little help from my son. Homemade jelly from fresh fruits is far better than synthetic ones. No cooking was involved, and it took us 10 minutes to put things together.
This Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwich has inspired this Asian beef sandwich. It’s light, crunchy, and fresh, with a burst of flavors in each bite. These are the perfect adjectives to describe this sandwich. I wanted to avoid the cheese and mayo for once, and trust me, and I didn’t miss them.
With leftover ingredients from Matcha tiramisu, another tiramisu was definitely in order. Mango tiramisu was a popular choice as it is the season of mangoes. These days I tend to have a jar of mango puree in the refrigerator. This helps me whip up a refreshing milkshake or simple dessert in no time.
Nothing is better than beginning the day with a plate of fragrant Lemony pancakes. Citrus flavors are a huge hit in my family. It’s easy to get the family down for breakfast on the weekend with these easy and light pancakes.
The simplicity of this dessert will surprise you. I love matcha, and Matcha tiramisu is as elegant as the drink. Kids can enjoy this one without the fear of caffeine. Matcha balances out the rich and heavy feel of the cream, making it light.
