Every morning when my alarm clock goes off, Cookie starts pouncing on me to wake up and I groan and ask her to make me some coffee. Every day, this happens, and would you believe that she has not once made me coffee? That dog. Yesterday morning, I woke up at the crack of dawn to finish my work by deadline. I made myself some extra-strong coffee, poured it to the tippity-top of my mug and promptly sloshed coffee onto my keyboard....
The bread dosa recipe had been requested by some readers. The first time I had made bread dosa was many years back and I do make this dosa variant rarely once in a while. You do not need to ferment the batter to make these dosas. All you need is some bread, yogurt and the usual Indian spices and herbs. To leaven the batter, I add fruit salt (Eno), but you can use baking soda instead....

We’re coming in hot with a very last-minute Thanksgiving dessert recipe! The idea came to me when I was exasperated by yet another failed attempt to make maple-sweetened pumpkin pie. I opened the refrigerator and spied some leftover pumpkin purée next to a block of cream cheese. Here we are, with no-bake treats that taste like pumpkin pie and cheesecake had a baby. They work because we serve them in individual cups, so they don’t have to retain a sliceable shape....
What is Edamame? Edamame (pronounced ed-uh-MAA-meh) are the tender, young pods of soybeans. These tasty green beans are often sold still in their pods, making them an excellent snack for eating with your hands. Edamame can be boiled, steamed, pan-fried, or even microwaved until cooked, at which point they easily slip out of their inedible exterior pods. These deliciously healthy little beans are high in plant-based protein and fiber, and they have been associated with positive health outcomes....

First of all, this ginger beer doesn’t have beer in it. My homemade ginger juice and soda version is non-alcoholic… unless you add liquor, of course. I’ve been totally obsessed with ginger lately. On its own, ginger is fiercely spicy and fragrant. Used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine since forever, it’s a powerful anti-inflammatory that can calm nausea and soothe upset stomachs (source: The New Whole Foods Encyclopedia). There’s really not much it can’t do....
More On This Grape Juice I do have an electric juicer at home, and I would say that it juices really well. But the flipside is, I find it too tedious and tiresome to clean its different parts after juicing a fruit or vegetable. Hence, as much as possible, I make my juices in a blender and then strain them. The same goes for this Grape Juice, which really gets done in the blink of an eye....
