Here we are with another eggplant recipe. The last one I made from the Brave New Meal cookbook was the Baba Ganoush which I surprisingly didn’t hate (I know, such high praise). Today’s recipe is a rice dish with eggplant, as well as tomato, onion and some seasonings. The reason I was fine making this…

Viral Salmon & Rice
I know you’ve probably seen that viral salmon and rice recipe online. It all started from a girl named Emily Mariko, who posted it on Tiktok and since then, it seems that everyone has been making it. And now it was my turn! I had to put my own twist on the recipe though. I…
Chickpea Biryani
Indian food is one of those cuisines that I have never really cooked much, but love to eat. This recipe was Chickpea Biryani from Thug Kitchen 101 cookbook. This is a vegan spin on classic chicken biryani. If you want to make some tasty and very aromatic food, definitely make this. Through all the stages…
Colourful Rice Salad
On Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year), it is tradition to eat certain foods, called simanim (see-ma-neem). For the most part, these are sweet items because you want to start the new year on a sweet note. The foods that I am using today – from the selection of simanim – are apples, honey, beets and…

Recipe #77: Grilled Veggie Skewers with Cilantro-Lime Rice, Black Beans & Avocado Chimichurri Sauce
This recipe has a familial connection for me. My dad is from Argentina so he loves his chimichurri sauce on steak. We actually went on a family trip to visit my extended family who live there back in 2008. We had traditional asado (bbq) with lots of meat and chimichurri. If you don’t know, chimichurri…
Recipe #66: Roasted Cherry Tomato & Brown Rice Risotto
Risotto. It’s one of those things that seems so difficult to make because it is so labour intensive. However, this recipe proves otherwise. This risotto recipe actually starts on the stove then gets baked in the oven. I know it’s not traditional but it turned out sort of well for me. I still would like…
Recipe #39: Chickpea Tikka Masala with Green Rice
I love indian curries. I don’t usually make them too spicy but they’re so flavourful because of all the different spices. This chickpea tikka masala was perfect in that regard. It was seasoned so well and made the house smell incredible. Another reason I love indian curries is the coconut milk. It adds so much…
