Let me tell you all something. I’ve never really been a fan of paneer. My Mother never cooked it, and on the few occasions I ate it somewhere outside, it was always flavourless, rubbery and just generally off-putting. When it was on the menu of my Waleema, I wasn’t too excited. However, on the day, I heard compliments about how tasty the paneer was, so I decided to put a few cubes on my plate to try....

Posted Jul 25, 2022, Updated Feb 17, 2024 I’ve often remarked that if I ever wrote a cookbook I’d need a en entire chapter dedicated to zucchini. I love making recipes – like these Zucchini pancakes – loaded with zucchini that my entire family enjoys (like zucchini bread, chocolate zucchini cake, corn & zucchini fritters, etc.). These zucchini pancakes are fluffy, moist, flavorful and so delicious they’re sure to become a family favorite....
Note: Turkey is the most traditional meat for a Thanksgiving meal. However, turkey isn’t common at all in Pakistani cuisine, and this is why you won’t find many Pakistani turkey recipes online. But there’s absolutely no reason why you can’t use a chicken-based recipe for turkey - the only adjustment you’d need to make is for cook times. Whilst a medium-sized chicken is smaller and would take about 1-1.5 hours to become super tender, a medium-sized turkey can take up to 4 hours....

It’s not severe, thankfully - but I do still need to take it easy and rest my hand as much as possible. So naturally, one of the areas this has impacted me is in the kitchen. We’re on month 3 of life with carpel tunnel, and during this time I’ve learned A LOT about how to optimise things in the kitchen for the sake of my wrists. This spurred on the idea for this post - things I use around the kitchen to make things easier, which would do you good too....

One thing I always focus on after a holiday (after all of the indulging I do) is ensuring I include more fresh choices, leaner proteins and healthier sauces and dressings in my meals. Don’t get me wrong, I definitely still indulge every now and then, but I find that it is a time I try to be more balanced. While I do try to have a good fresh start, I do also love to continue to eat my favorites so I like to put a nice fresh spin on them....

Tender beef, crunchy vegetables, and that perfectly flavored sauce you expect from really solid Chinese food (the right amount and the right consistency!) make this stir-fry an ideal weeknight dish. Use Whatever Vegetables You Have Chinese bok choy is the primary vegetable in this dish. Back in the day, a classic, old-school Chinese restaurant menu item was “beef with bok choy.” This recipe was inspired by that dish, but other vegetables can definitely be thrown in—carrots, celery, red bell pepper, snow peas, cabbage, broccoli, mushrooms, onions, green onions—whatever you’ve got in the refrigerator that looks good (or that has to get used before it goes bad!...
