Deustche Baby!
These originally German pancakes are larger one pan bakes, that are thinner than an American pancake, with a lot less flour, and thicker than a French crepe, with a lot less milk. They are absolutely stunning in their statuesque beauty and sublime taste. If you are looking for a relaxed family brunch on New Year day or any other weekend or any day really, I would highly recommend these.
Fall In Love Tomato Soup
TOMATO SOUP FOR THE SOUL :
The ease of this recipe beguiles the flavor of the dish; it’s beauty lies in the elegant simplicity of a long roast!
The weather has decidedly turned cooler and I am loving it. Fall is my favorite season. I picked my last harvest last week and I was struck by how the tomatoes were still lush on the vines even as the plants themselves are coming to the end of their lives. As the colors on the trees turn hues of yellows, oranges and reds, I find myself walking between shriveling vines and ripening squashes and vegetables that stand out in clarity. It is a poignant vision.
When the cold hits.. Tamizh Falafel to the rescue!
We feared the plague and were felled by the common cold! Such was our state last week when after a whole year of bubble life. When Finally, the weekend arrived and the house seemed to be breathing much more normally, the first thing I wanted to do was declutter and then COOK! :)
What I grew up and know as masala vadai, is not very different from the middle eastern falafel. Often not even shaped differently and with a ton of oomph from garlic, the herbs and choice of lentil may vary but the result and satisfaction are remarkably similar! Which is why I call these Split Pea Vadais, Tamizh Falafel.
Mind Blowing Vegan Mayonnaise
This is the easiest ‘mayo’ I have made. Well, despite its lure, whisking eggs into that emulsion is a dainty balance. This dish needs no close eye purview, which, means that you can let it go while minding your very active toddler, and, still come back to a perfect dish, that leaves you feeling like a super parent! Ha! there! Toddler safe, mayo made. Mike drop…
A very vegetarian stir fry
So…. I am not going to give an excuse for my absence here. It’s just life. So, instead, I am simply going to carry on and pick up where I left off, ok?! Yes? Good! Now that is settled, here is where I am right now…
Trying to get Tiny Feet to eat more vegetables. Now, I cannot complain on how she eats because she is very good. But, I guess I had not factored for the reality that kids, even the best eaters, have strong favorites and very tepid responses to the rest! LOL. The thing I needed to keep in mind is to make it interesting for her AND me….
