New recipe just dropped!

Snake gourd shaak. Snake gourd has been used in Indian ingredients for thousands of years. This shaak (stir-fry) very likely resembles the dish that would have been eaten in ancient times and remains relevant today.

Using moong dal, @steve.thomaspatel.com and I shot a short video testing whether it makes sense to soak your dal before you cook it.
Do you have to soak your dal? We put it to the test.

Did you know black pepper was once called "black gold?" In ancient times, Indian black pepper was so valuable that it was used as currency in trade with the Roman Empire.

The U.S. Air Force will resume teaching about the nation's first Black pilots and the women pilots of World War II. This followed widespread public outcry over their earlier decision to stop teaching about the Tuskegee Airmen and the WASPs.

Here's a fun video I shot with my husband, Steve. Testing him on some Gujarati that I've been sharing with him for 20 years! He claims he knows the kitchen terms the best!

Having fun in the kitchen with a Gujarati quiz! Can Steve guess the names of these tools correctly?

Here's my version of Yavagu, one of India's ancient recipes. I use red rice to try to capture some of that ancient tradition.

Feeling a little sniffly this morning. Nothing like a spicy glass of ukado to warm the insides. Ukado, or "kadha" to many people, is an old Indian (ayurvedic) remedy my mom taught me to make.
