Malini now lives in New York City, which is one of the premier culinary capitals of the world. It is in this gastronomic playground that Malini experiments with all kinds of different cuisines.
Malini delights in critiquing different restaurants she visits in New York City and all over the world. She takes equal pleasure in trying out new recipes and cooking for her family and friends, who add so much color to her life.

Hey Malini!
Love the site! My mouth is watering just reading the recipes and
looking at the photos. And I like the layout, too. You’ll have to
tell me how you do it. I’ll have to try the salmon with miso recipe.
Looks like something that even I might be able to make…
Two suggestions though… First, where is your butter chicken recipe?
And second,
I don’t see any recipes using the ingredient, “Death warmed over”!
What’s up with that?
Jun
Hey Jun
death warmed over is just for you – cant share that “secret family recipe”!!
Butter chicken – I haven’t made it well i think since you were in town last so…..come back quickly so I can make it and post it!!!
Hi, doll – I can remember you telling me about this some years ago – and here you are – you have put it together. The site looks awesome, and I am sure the recipes are terrific too. I can’t wait to see you soon so you can cook for me. Love you. Kisses, Alley.

Aloha Malini! Your blog is fabulous and I printed out a bunch of recipes. I think of you everytime I made chicken or veggie curry, like you taught me. I look forward to seeing more posting.

Looking for an okra recipe I merely stumbled across your blog, Ms Horiuchi. I’m a mature accomplished home cook whose family had owned restaurants. I’ve seen lots of food blogs . But not many food bloggers’ recipes seems as interesting -and made with a thought towards easy preparation- as yours. Your recipes are well organised and attractively presented.
Thank you for going to the trouble to share your family recipes with people like me you don’t even know, Ms Horiuchi. You make the world better. *big smile*
Thank You so much. You really made my day! It so great when I hear that people really are using my recipes!
Why oh why do americans refuse to supply a metric equivalent?
malu!! i love your blog – makes my mouth water!

Thx dods
big hugs 🙂
Hey! I just stumbled across your blog while looking for Himachali food recipes and I am so happy I did. Ours is a region so under-represented on the internet so, add a lot more of them.
I too stumbled across you site. Thanks very much for sharing the pahari recipes. They bring back wonderful childhood memories. Can’t wait to make palda:). Thanks
Thanks Vik…enjoy the palda!
