Otherwise known as Ahmadabad Jain Pullao, this wonderful recipe comes from Julie Sahni’s Classic Indian and Vegetarian Grain Cooking. I’ve been delving into this book lately, and finding that Indian cooking has a lot to do with different dairy preparation techniques. Yogurt is a complete main-stay, as is ghee…. USLI GHEE To make 3/4 cup…

Excellent Potato Pancakes (gluten-free)
I am not sure if my potato pancakes are Rosti or Latkes or Hash browns but they are truly excellent. The ingredients and technique for making these pancakes are simple. The secret is in the tools….An old fashioned coarse grater called The Wonder Shredder and a well seasoned, wide cast iron skillet. I got my Wonder Shredder…
Carrot Soup with Fennel and Fresh Thyme with Biscuits (Traditional and Gluten-Free)
It is strange that I had not made this carrot soup yet this year. I usually make it every other week or so during the Autumn and Winter. It is easy to make, totally satisfying and uses ingredients that I always seem to have on hand. I got this soup from a cooking magazine (maybe…
Perfectly Seasoned Creamy Cauliflower Soup (with no cream)
Today, Chris and I ate cauliflower soup and a pear, blue cheese, hazelnut salad (see Salads with Pears on this blog). It was a good wintry meal…lots of white and green. I am not always a fan of cauliflower. I like it in Indian food and I like this soup. I can’t really remember where…
Hot Borscht and all of the good feelings that come with it
My borscht recipe is adapted from one of the Moosewood cookbooks that I learned to cook from in college. I did a lot of cooking during that time…..enough to occasionally wonder if I should have been at culinary school rather than at Sarah Lawrence College. At Sarah Lawrence I had an amazing academic don named…
Green Bread & Green Soup!
Erin got me the book “Classic Indian Vegetarian and Grain Cooking” for Christmas this year, and this interesting bread is the first recipe that I’ve made out of it. It is called Hara Paratha, Collard/Kale Bread. It’s a fried bread that is similar to roti in consistency. It has a spicy flavour and, of course,…
Collard Greens with Roux and Andouille Sausage (Gluten-Free or not)
I like to make collard greens for brunch on the weekend. I love making weekend brunch. My kitchen is sunny and beautiful, my favourite radio programs are on, I have gotten enough sleep, and if everything is going the way I prefer I don’t have anywhere to go for a while. My method for making…
Tomato Cognac Soup
I am sick. When I am sick I really only want to eat tomato soup. I’ll eat other food as long as tomato soup is involved in the menu. So here is another tomato soup recipe, which I served today with grilled cheese and a spinach salad with bacon, avocado, blue cheese, chives, tomato,…
Quick Curried Tomato Soup
I adapted this recipe from a quick, low-fat microwave cookbook that my mother gave me when I went to college. It is still terrifically quick and also low-fat but I do not own a microwave anymore. It is good with spicy chick pea pancakes or grilled cheese (like any tomato soup). I find it particularly delicious…
Braised Red Cabbage with Apples
Cabbage is cheap, healthful and good even in the winter. The local green markets in NYC hit a point at this time of year when they have only cabbage and collards and root vegetables and the last few squashes and apples from the autumn. My cousins took me to a green market in Los Angeles…
