Named in the Times Top 100 Most Influential People in 2010, he’s known for his “bad boy” attitude, like his “no reservations, no vegetarian options” policy and claiming Californian chefs “don’t manipulate food, they just put figs on a plate....

A complete one-pot meal with lots of hidden vegetables Here today with a sparkling new recipe I created with mid-week cooking in mind: a big, bubbling Cajun pasta made with beef and a surprising amount of hidden vegetables, so you can serve this as a complete meal. It’s really economical (500g/1lb beef -> 7 to 8 servings), with bold beefy Cajun flavours and smothered with oozy cheese. The good amount of Cajun spices used in this recipe lets us pack in vegetables without disappointingly diluting the flavour of the dish....

My family will rib me for sharing yet another Middle Eastern recipe. And yet another one skillet recipe! I love that they have no control over what I post. Unlike deciding the menu for our regular family dinners. The number of emails that fly back and forth as we argue over what the menu will be and who is making what….. Oh boy. It’s ridiculous. Absolute undeniable evidence that I was born into a foodie family!...

This is my take on a paleo-friendly medu vada, a south Indian snack food often served with coconut chutney. Medu vada is normally made from a batter of ground up legumes – so it’s actually naturally gluten-free. The recipe I’m sharing today is legume-free and grain-free. It’s a recipe for those who cannot tolerate lentils or for those following a paleo diet. what is a vada? why a paleo vada?...

Potato is loved by everyone at home. I usually make potato fry or potato onion curry at home. Podimas is an heirloom recipe, made in a jiffy. We don’t add sambar powder or red chili powder in this potato podimas recipe. The green chili, ginger, and lemon give a very different and nice taste. During our childhood days, we always prefer the potato fry over this podimas. Still, my mom makes this once in a while and makes us eat this version of potato also....

Puli aval is a quick and easy tiffin recipe made in our house for breakfast or evening tiffin. My amma makes puli upma using rice flour and it is our favorite too. This puli aval tastes similar to puli sadam | tamarind rice. We are not making puli kaichal paste for making this puli aval. If you have tamarind paste in hand, it is even quicker to make this tiffin....

Ragi flour | finger millet flour is a highly nutritious millet flour. We use it widely in South Indian cuisine in various forms. I have even tried paratha also using the mix of whole wheat flour. But I always wanted to make a soft gluten-free Ragi chapathi. Since Ragi | finger millet does not contain gluten, it is very difficult to roll this into a roti. They tend to tear while making Rotis....

When it’s sweltering hot outside – gimme all the iced cold citrus drinks, y’all! I love citrus and in the summer, I am all about lemons and limes. Ooh, especially limes. I came up with this drink after going for a run this past weekend. It was hot and humid and by the time I got home, I was insatiably thirsty. I drank a tall glass of water, but I wanted something else… and this raspberry lime cooler absolutely hit the spot....

Seafood Spaghetti Marinara This recipe is dedicated to Bill and Pauline, the owners of a gorgeous young Golden Retriever called Lucy that Dozer plays with regularly at the beach. When I say “dedicated”, I don’t mean any kind of heartfelt, deep and meaningful dedication. There is no sentiment behind this dedication. It is just that I’ve now dictated this recipe to them three times while Dozer and Lucy were playing on the beach, and rather than continuing that weekly routine, I thought I’d just write the recipe out properly for them!...
