fresh food during holidays

This post is about the Chicken or Egg story captured in a small Fried Chicken Salad. We love chicken and stories. But…

Sunday Lamb Curry is not uncommon in many households. For us when we were growing up in a small town, it was a special treat. My father would buy mutton in bulk from the local market for many people working in his team. It saved them the time and of course, he developed a rapport with the seller.

Carrot Halwa is a winter special dessert and the best ones are made with fresh red carrots which come for a short duration during the winter months.

Egwusi Stew for fall season is in memory of rising and falling graphs. What are we talking about here?

This post is about Mocha. I have fond memories of Mocha and wanted to pay my respect to those Cooking Mocha. Mocha in Bengali is the Banana Flower which is different from Mocha as some of us might know otherwise related to the cocoa plant.
