on Feb 25, 2022 Yes! Yes! Yes! Let’s celebrate because we are in cheese heaven today. I’m going to be honest. I’m not a big fan of overly cheesy food. Like I would never order a cheese stuffed pizza crust. Nah. Not a fan. But for some reason, give me a bowl of this spicy nacho cheese sauce and I can scoff it down all by myself. And lick my fingers in the process....
I have for you today a very simple, very nutritious and very delicious sprouted moong salad or mung bean salad that, in the part of India I come from, goes by the name of Moong Usal. There’s something about sprouting beans that brings out the poet in me. Watching those tiny little white squiggles shoot out of the legume and grow, like magic, over a period of days and sometimes just hours makes my jaw drop in wonder to this day, no matter how many times I do it....
on Dec 07, 2022 Sticky Toffee Pudding is almost synonymous with Christmas – just like a good, old fashioned Plum Cake but most recipes online can be tricky because they ask for special ingredients like treacle which I haven’t found easily in India. So here’s my attempt to create the ultimate Sticky Toffee Pudding but with whatever’s easily available. Its rich, intense and tastes almost like gingerbread without any spices....
I’ve always been an incorrigible fan of banana breads, and one of my all-time favorites are these vegan Banana Muffins. They are soft and spongy and moist and every bite is packed with all the banana flavor you can handle. Even better, these muffins are whole wheat and they have the goodness of flax and applesauce with very little oil. I usually stir in some nuts as well, although I didn’t this time....
You might also like these recipes for Goan cashew curry, Goan sausage curry with potatoes, and Goan chestnut xacuti. Beef is not a word you will often find on an Indian menu and the reason for that of course is that Hindus do not consume cows for religious reasons. But beef is not absent from India’s food tapestry– it features regularly in the cuisines of Christians and Muslims who constitute a sizable chunk of the country’s billion-plus population....
You might also like these recipes for vegan lemon pound cake and vegan lemon cake (with lemon curd icing). Trapped in a winter wonderland yesterday, with the snow piling up outside, I channeled my time and energy into making the most divine Vegan Lemon Yogurt Bundt Cake. One of the problems with lemon desserts is that no matter how much lemon juice you add to the batter, the flavor tends to dissipate during baking....
on Nov 03, 2022 Upma is possibly the most common breakfast option in most Indian households, right up there with poha. Also known as suji ka upma or uppittu, this South Indian breakfast is quite popular throughout the country. It’s not surprising, though. This upma recipe requires no fancy ingredients, can be put together in a jiffy, and makes for one nutritious breakfast! No wonder it is a go-to option for so many people!...
on Mar 03, 2020, Updated Aug 18, 2020 I’m not going to claim that this is the most authentic pho recipe out there. Because Vietnamese pho soup is essentially meat based, made from beef or pork broth. But guys, if you truly want a vegetarian pho recipe, I highly recommend trying this one out. The base of a pho is always a flavorful broth and we’ve tried to pack in as much flavor as possible....

This is a world class cooking. I’d put it up against any stew. Or daube. Or gulyas. You name it. Complex chili flavours. Really deep beef flavour. Think about that for a second. That is a serious combination. Birria is like nothing out there. Makes amazing tacos. Or those quesatacos that everyone is talking about. That recipe is coming shortly. I’m thinking it would make an incredible wet burrito. Haven’t tried that one yet....
This chana makhani recipe embodies the best of three classic Indian dishes: chana masala, tofu makhani and vegan palak paneer. Try it once and, I promise, it will become your favorite way to eat greens. And chickpeas. Or greens and chickpeas. Because it’s quite simply, in a word, awesome. My Chana Makhani with Greens is a smooth, velvety curry of leafy greens with the perfect hint of spice and the luxurious creaminess of cashews....
Love easy, cheesy recipes like this yummy vegan breakfast casserole and this vegan breakfast shepherd’s pie? Then you’ll adore this cheesy vegan bake. It’s great for breakfast but it also makes a delicious dinner, especially if you have kids at home. This bake is cheesy with nutritional yeast and it’s got vegan sausage so it’s a tastebud pleaser beyond a doubt. But it also has lots of veggies packed away inside all that deliciousness, so you know you are feeding them something that’s both tasty and good for them....
A little spicy. A lot savoury. And loaded with umami flavour. Deceptively simple. Seriously tasty. This is not your run of the mill chow mein. And the best part? 30 minutes start to finish. Who says you can’t have great food on Tuesday? I love great food on Tuesday. Chow mein is a noodle dish Full disclosure. Up front. This chicken chow mein is not a bowl full of stuff with a bit of noodles....

And these chicken fajita meal prep lunch bowls with cilantro lime and quinoa is something you definitely need to add to your weekly lunch rotation.

The flavours are restaurant worthy. Lush sauce. Bold flavours. Big chunks of lightly charred peppers and onions. And the bite of green chilies. My kind of dish. This is an old recipe. From back in early 2018. The early days of glebekitchen. I’m dusting it off and bringing it forward. Because I believe. I want you try it. Something a little different. Something a bit counter-intuitive. But something that works....
Who needs another chicken taco recipe? Nobody. And yet I’m writing it. I’m doing it because I like tacos. But I’m also doing it because the world does need a better enchilada recipe. This recipe, along with this tomatillo salsa is laying the groundwork. Better restaurant style enchiladas verdes coming soon. Tinga is a simple, shredded chicken dish with a red chili sauce. You know that tasteless shredded chicken you get at your local Mexican restaurant?...
