This is one of my children’s favorite shrimp dishes. My parents went to a little restaurant in Bologna, Italy a few years ago and my father loved this dish there. So of course my mother came back and recreated it in her kitchen. It’s a really quick and super yummy dish that is a real [...]
My mother just fried up these little beauties for us last night and it brought back a flood of memories for me. When I was growing up in India, this was one of our most popular snacks served at our house when we had guests over. It made a really great appetizer. We would eat [...]
Pad Khee Mao is one of my favorite Thai dishes. I like it made really spicy with ground chicken and shrimp. The best Pad Khee Mao I’ve had is at BKNY Thai restaurant. I learned this version of Pad Khee Mao from Aunty Penn in Thailand who is a phenomenal cook. This dish was delicious though [...]

The red curry paste can be substituted for any of your favorite curry pastes such as green, yellow, massaman, panang etc. This dish goes very well with brown or [...]

I usually use the bags of frozen raw shrimp (with the tails on) you get at Costco – they are great! My younger brother, who is a real foodie, tried the salad and [...]

Its a really easy salad - the only real work is when you are steaming and shelling the lobster from scratch.You could skip this step and make it really easy by just buying the cooked, shelled lobster from a store. The lobster meat can be substituted for [...]
I have a little fan following here in New York for this dish. This is really my go to dish when I have large numbers of people coming over. It always seems to be a crowd pleaser. So here you go Rula, Susan Hillberg, Sonu Swamy (my faithful food fans and blogophiles)……and all the rest [...]
