Any time I mention the words avocado and chocolate in the same sentence, people turn their noses up. BUT, those…

Whatever your tastes, you probably have your favorite foods. Whether you cook it at home or eat it in a restaurant, delicious food is a source of pleasure and positive emotions. Of course, all food lovers know that too much high-calorie food is not the best gift for the body (unless gaining weight is your cherished dream). But there are other problems that a favorite dish can…

Chances are if you walk into our house or work with us in our studio, you’ll end up sipping on some of our favorite coffee drinks. For the morning, a manual pressed espresso or cappuccino will start the day. In the afternoon when we start feeling sluggish, a Vietnamese iced coffee is the perfect “pick-me-up”. If you’ve never had a Vietnamese Iced Coffee, it’s a combination…

Over the past few days we could definitely feel a touch of fall in the air. Slightly cool and refreshing… Just perfect. Every year we get super excited this time of year, because we get to use some of our fall favorites: pumpkin, of course and pomegranates. Pomegranates might not be as popular ( although that is slowly changing lately) but we absolutely love them. We’ve been…

Is one of the easy and quick sweets that one could make in just 20 mins this diwali. Khoya or mawa are the milk solids got by condensing the milk till it thickens and reaches a solid consistency. To make a homemade khoya or khoa lot of patience and time is needed which I do not have. So I generally prefer to buy from the Indian stores. You can make a simple khoya burfi or make…

Hot chocolate is my absolute favorite cold-weather drink. I don’t drink coffee and things like tea, apple cider, eggnog, etc. definitely take a back seat to chocolate. I get it from Starbucks, at hockey games, at orchards, and I use mixes at home (my favorite is Land o’ Lakes Supreme). But for the longest time I’ve been meaning to try whipping up my own homemade mix to have…

When I fly home, I always get a call from my mom right before my flight takes off, “will you be wanting animal flesh for dinner.” She’s not kidding…haha. My mom has been vegan for a long time now and while I can’t imagine being vegan, her body has never felt better. I remember, as a kid, she’d always get stomach aches and feel sick after she ate meat and dairy. It really does…

Today I realized that essentially I am in the midst of a common-law marriage to a bowl of oatmeal; we re going on seven years strong. Some might view this as sad, that one of the most significant relationships in my life is with an inanimate, even (cover your ears, oatmeal!) boring food. But I truly love the warming morning porridge, and thanks to a little ingenuity and know-how…

I must confess that often, while I was trying different chocolate brownies recipes I ve had many failure as well. Sometimes I would over baked them so the brownies would be too dry, other times the batter would turn out less than perfect and they would rise too much. Yet, no matter of the result, it was still worth the try because once you manage to make the perfect chocolate…
