Pin I got my rice cooker end of last year and have since cooked many things in it apart from plain ‘ol rice. I have a Zojirushi Induction Rice Cooker and the consistency of rice cooked in this is unbelievably good. Step by Step Cumin Rice Recipe: Wash and rinse the rice until the water runs clear.Transfer to the rice cooker bowl and add enough water to cook it. When they sizzle and have turned a deep brown, remove from fire and dunk into the rice + water mixture....
I grew up with bread and butter pickles and love them! They are a type of pickled cucumber with the most delicious sweet and tangy flavor. These are seriously so good! I make them by adding sliced cucumbers to a mixture of vinegar, sugar, salt, and spices. The result is a sweet, tangy, crisp, and colorful pickle! For more easy pickle recipes, see our delicious pickled beets, homemade dill pickles, or these easy pickled red onions....

Below, I’m sharing my family’s favorite flatbread recipe and lots of topping ideas for you to try....
Roasted garlic is creamy, sweet, and spreadable. We love eating the cloves whole alongside dinner (roasted chicken is one of our favorites). You can also mash it into butter, spread it on toast, and add it to soups and sauces. I also love it when making roasted garlic bread. Key Ingredients Garlic: I roast whole heads of garlic and usually roast 3 or more at a time. Olive oil: Keeps our garlic from drying out as it roasts in the oven....
I don’t even know where to start on this year’s recently-released spring cookbooks – gorgeous, stunning, beautiful, endearing, witty, and drool worthy are not words that even begin to describe them. Because I didn’t know how to choose just one at a time to start writing about, here’s a list of a few of my favorites – I’m sure I’ve missed some (let me know if you have any spring favorites!...
A lot of gluten free baking experiments happen around here. If you haven’t noticed them, it’s because a good many of those trials never become post-able recipes. I’ll say it (and I won’t be the first!) – gluten free baking is hard. I know many of you are pros, but for the rest of us, it can be frustrating and not to mention expensive. Today, I’m here to relieve you of all of your internet-flour purchasing by saying: just buy a pre-made flour blend....
If you’re not one for green bean casserole, add this glossy green bean recipe to your Thanksgiving menu instead! It’s my twist on green beans almondine, or amandine in French. Though it sounds fancy, this classic French side dish is really just green beans topped with sliced almonds. It’s remarkably simple and absolutely delicious. Green Beans Almondine Recipe Ingredients To make this green beans almondine recipe, you only need a few basic ingredients:...
According to my Instagram feed, you all celebrated this past holiday weekend by eating watermelon, making pie, or grilling up corn on the cob. If you were part of the third group, this corn salad is a super easy, super delicious recipe you can toss together if you happen to have leftover grilled corn. And if you don’t…. well, it’s still easy nonetheless and it’ll become your favorite summer corn salad....
It’s going to be 106 degrees here today, so needless to say, summer is on. If you’re cooking out this weekend, I have the perfect simple dessert for you. No baking is required, just toss some peaches onto your already-hot grill and you’re nearly done. I, myself, will be having a “cook-in,” making this on my grill pan in my temperature controlled kitchen. A note about this walnut crumble topping – it’s become my go-to lately for quick desserts....
When friends come over, we have a few recipes we always go to. This five-minute guacamole is one of those staples. It’s easy, it’s fresh and no matter what else we serve with it, it’s always the first to go. How to Make Guacamole There are two things to keep in mind when making guacamole. First, only use ripe avocados. We cannot tell you how many times we’ve come home from the store with a big bag of avocados and had to wait one, two, maybe three days before they are ripe....
Happy Friday! I have a fun little weekend project for you – take a few extra moments to make your own hazelnut milk! It’s so delicious, I promise it’s worth the effort. Actually, it requires very little effort, it just takes some planning ahead for the proper amount of soaking and chilling. The result is a delightfully lightly sweet & nutty milk that’s so yummy mixed with espresso or coffee....
A vacation in Norway this past summer inspired me to make these gluten-free crackers. I know, I know, it seems crazy to go all the way to Norway and come back with a homemade crackers recipe. But the thing is, my #1 favorite travel activity is visiting grocery stores in other countries. I don’t know why, but I’m so fascinated by what other people eat, how things are packaged, how stores are organized… all of it....
Amma makes inji curry and stores it in the refrigerator for weeks. She never restricts dishes to festivals, and makes them as she pleases, when she wants. The inji curry in the pictures here are made by her to send back with me during my last trip to Kottayam. It’s super easy to make Inji Curry so I hope the lack of step by step pictures doesn’t deter you. Will try to update if and when I make this myself....
If anything could turn me into a sports fan, it’d be these baked jalapeño poppers! Like all the best game day snacks (looking at you, salsa and guac), they’re simple, tasty, and really darn fun. The day I took these photos, I planned to eat just one or two jalapeño poppers straight from the oven, to check that the flavors were right. Before I knew it, I’d had 3, 4… I think it’s safe to say that the flavors were a-ok....
Hey, what are you doing this Saturday? If you’re free, and you happen to be in Austin, come have happy hour with us! I’ll be signing books in the wine garden at Lenoir, which is one of our favorite restaurants in town. Books will be available in their super cute kitchen shop, Métier Cook’s Supply. Hope to see you there!
I got my Kitchenaid a few months back and while I don’t talk about it much, we are really good friends now. So much more than we would have been because now I make my roti dough in my Kitchenaid! Also check out how to make roti dough in a food processor. If you are one of those people who got a Kitchenaid and hardly get any use out of it except those occasional days you bake a cake, please make use of your dough hooks!...
Check out the fish marinating in the spice paste below. This is carefully prepared by balancing the flavours perfectly, and honestly, takes practice to perfect. The amount of heat, salt, and other ingredients you need to use will also depend a lot on personal preference. My mom also adds an egg to the marinade sometimes to make the spice coating fluffier and tastier. No matter whether you use eggs or not, this recipe will still yield a delicious nethili fry!...
My favourite methods among all of this is using the steamer. This is because it allows the dessert to cook anyway and gives you similar results as baking. Of course, this depends on what you are making. No-bake cheesecakes require no steamer or oven and yes, that’s one delicious dessert too! So take your pick and I hope you enjoy making these. Please leave a comment if you have a favourite no-bake recipe that’s not listed here....
A few years ago, we fell in love with parmesan zucchini fries at one of our favorite restaurants, but wanted a healthier option. So, we created these baked zucchini chips! I love how simple these are to make, and since we bake them, they’re healthier! For more easy zucchini recipes, see our zucchini noodles salad, sautéed zucchini, and zucchini bread. Key Ingredients Zucchini: For this recipe, I look for medium, firm zucchini....
