What does one do with a cucumber that’s two feet long?
August 23, 2010 | 20 Comments
Six of them? That’s twelve feet of cucumbers. I’ve put one on display in my living room.
The tag on the sapling said “Armenian cucumbers”, but these are some strange genus. Armenian cukes are delicious when really tiny.

Nut Trilogy 3: Spiced Nuts
August 20, 2010 | 7 Comments
Sweet and Sour Almonds and Garlic-Rosemary Walnuts
I also call them “Traffic Light Nuts”. A little pouch of these in the car ensures that I’m not starving while rushing from one place to the next. There is the quick, easy method (that I used), and another that is more involved, but yields more nutrition. I have explained the latter below.

Nut Trilogy 2: Banana-Nut Bread (Two Ways)
August 18, 2010 | 45 Comments
In my cashew “yogurt” post, I had a comment wondering if the stuff I concoct “makes any sense”. I understand that bewilderment and don’t have a problem, really, with those who express it. I feel the same way when I see someone eating a doughnut.

Nut Trilogy 1: Cashew “Yogurt”, “Sour Cream” and “Milk”
August 16, 2010 | 23 Comments
Last weekend I made three different dishes – all of them nut-based. It wasn’t planned that way, it just came to be. I thought it would be neat to post them as a trilogy.

Culinary Nostalgia with Ulli Chammanthi (Red Hot Onion Chutney)
August 11, 2010 | 16 Comments
Onions + red chillies + salt.
Life’s most marvellous things are often the simplest. If it involves a favourite childhood food, the delight that flows from remembering, re-creating and savouring it makes for an even more joyous experience.

Sugar-free Lychee-Coconut Popsicles (Vegan)
August 6, 2010 | 6 Comments
Tender coconut pulp + fruit + coconut milk = a refreshing vegan ice cream. The spiced rum adds a nice tropical twist.
