Chinese tea boiled eggs (a.k.a marble eggs) are commonly sold as a snack by street vendors at night markets in China and Chinese stores and community get togethers all over the world. I haven’t been to China, but I’ve had these in …
This is far from an authentic Japanese recipe, It’s just something I make very often (and by that I mean once a week), as it’s a super easy weeknight dinner. The recipe is a product of trial and error and tweaks simply …
Oats are so much more than warm porridge. Now, a warm, smooth porridge might just be the thing for you and you might perceive it as creamy and comforting, I’m generally not too fond of a smooth porridge but my love for …
I find that with a lot of people, the challenge in consuming oats is that they’re more fond of savory foods, and oats are (more often than not) sweet. This Savory Granola recipe I developed for Mornflake is for all of those …
One of the things that makes me sad is having a bunch of herbs leftover that have started to lack their luster. On a cool cloudy day, these herbs can make for a comforting snack in the form of a warm wilted …

I love the idea of Turkish shakshuka, but I’m not the biggest fan of it. Don’t hate, just hear me out! Ok, I have no valid excuse, really. I do, however, love Pakistani style chickpea stew, which is often had with boiled …
Kashmiri Chai a.k.a Pink Tea is one of the tea world’s best kept secrets and an absolute science to get right. I mean, REALLY, it’s almost as if every attempt and every batch is a gamble. After making dozens and dozens of …
I decided to put together this post on how to make a festive feast for two in collaboration with Home Center Stores, because it’s the most wonderful time of the year! There are so many things about December that make it so …
Brussel sprouts are one of my favorite vegetables, and I could eat them by the kilo. Brussel sprouts are usually roasted, and often with bacon. I wanted to do something different with them, something that maintained their festive feel, but also embodied …
I have successfully learnt how to roast the perfect chicken. It took a few attempts, but I got it right. And you know what I realized at the end of it all? It just wasn’t worth all the hassle! 40 minutes with …
It doesn’t matter if it never truly gets COLD cold in the Middle East, I still insist on making December the coziest month of the year, with warm red tones dominating my home, and adorning my dinner table. Because I’m forcing the winter …
