While we’ve all had cauliflower covered in cheese or cauliflower soup, did you know that it can be an amazing stand-in for rice in many recipes? Ricing cauliflower is easy to do and doesn’t require any special tools. You can use either a food processor or a hand grater with equally delicious results! I personally prefer to use a hand grater with larger holes for a bit of a larger “grain”....

Posted Mar 17, 2023, Updated Mar 04, 2024 When it comes to desserts, I am usually a chocolate person.

But occasionally we do indulge in this treat, and my son certainly gets it almost every day while mangoes are in season. Mangoes are loved, and mango farms are beautiful sights if you go to Punjab across Multan. The highway has a mango farm on both sides of the road as far as you could see. And I love my country’s beauty and richness of taste. They are whopping 1500 varieties of mangoes in Pakistan alone....
Well, I’m here to break the news to you. This is what Moo Shu Pork (木樨肉) actually looks like. I included its Chinese name so you know I’m not making it up. Trust me, I was equally surprised when I first saw it on a menu in China, because I also wondered where those pancakes were! Apparently Moo Shu Pork is a very common home-cooked dish in China and the authentic Chinese moo shu pork recipe does not include any moo shu pancakes....
Because Pizza makes everything better. Sure, here in Beijing, we’ve got Domino’s (factory-farm pizza), Pizza Hut (tiny pizza–at least here in China), Annie’s (lifeless and tiny pizza), and a reasonable facsimile run by actual Italians called “La Pizza” (EXPENSIVE and let’s-be-honest-it’s-slightly-over-rated– pizza). But our pizza hearts belong to just two pizza-making entities: Luigi’s. A tiny, fluorescent-lit place in a NJ strip mall, with–we believe–an actual in-house “Luigi,” who makes the most unbelievably chewy, crispy, flavorful crust....
Nanjing is the capital of Jiangsu province and a stone’s throw away from Shanghai. Nanjing cuisine (also known as Jinling cuisine, 金陵菜) is a part of Huaiyang cuisine (淮扬菜), one of the four culinary heritages of China, alongside Cantonese cuisine (粤菜), Shandong cuisine (鲁菜) and Sichuan cuisine (川菜). Huaiyang cuisine is, in a word, refined. From ingredient selection to cooking techniques, it is all about emphasizing the ingredients and retaining freshness so the flavors are concentrated but not greasy, light but tasty....

Defining the Perfect Yellow Cake First, let’s get on the same page about what we look for in the perfect yellow cake. For us, an ideal cake has the following qualities: A moist, yet slightly springy texture, i.e. the cake should be beautifully moist, but not dense. A tender structure still strong enough to hold up to any frosting. A vanilla-forward, buttery flavor, with that slight tang you’d find in say, a sour cream cake....

These drinks work like rehydrating armor against the heat. Not only they keep cool and hydrated but replenish the nutrients lost in sweat and keep you energized and focused.

While I’ll still suggest drinking plain water with fresh fruits for the healthiest summer drink....

What do you call it Sarson ka Saag or Mustard Greens curry? Is it Indian or Pakistani curry? Well, it’s Punjabi, a region divided between the borders of Indian and Pakistan. My mother-in-law is from Multan, Punjab, and trust me she was so fond of mustard leaves curry, that it is a winter must-have food at our home. I think Punjabis love their bitter veggies like Karela (bitter melon), sarson and kachnar (buhinea buds)....

Today, we celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in the name of family unity and for the hope that true loves can reunite. If you’ve ever wondered why mooncakes are round, this is why. (Update: a helpful reader pointed out to us that we got our lines tied up on the details of lovers meeting vs. not meeting; turns out that the young man mourned the loss of his love to the moon for the rest of his days, and people celebrate his sacrifice by worshipping the moon spirit with cakes and other offerings…alternatively, it may also be the case that the young man in this story turned into a tyrannical king and his former lover prevented him from becoming immortal on the day of the mid-autumn festival, so people celebrate that…Can you see now why we tried to glaze over this part?...
