Even the most progressive and modern of cooks will admit to having a recipe for deviled (or “stuffed”) eggs up their sleeve. Just about everyone enjoys this lovely hors d’oeuvre, all the world over. They’re a perennial crowd-pleaser that will be consumed happily by both your forward-thinking foodie friends as well as those with a more traditional palate. To be clear, there is…

A few years back I fell in love with this sublime soup I first experienced at a restaurant serving up modern Indian cuisine in Harvard Square. “Tomato and coconut?” I mused to myself when my (Indian) father-in-law ordered the dish as an appetizer. “Hmmmm … I’m not sure about that.” Of course, what do I know? And it’s unclear why…

Today’s recipe is one of my “best dishes ever” according to my husband. Hardly a scientific study, this sample size of one. Though, for the record, he doesn’t say that for everything I make, in case you were wondering. Anecdotes aside, this super savory supper simmers tender chunks of swordfish in a bold Indian-scented tomato sauce and tops it with coconut chutney for a…

I whipped up this sauce one day on a whim during the heart of tomato season. It could certainly be made just as easily with canned tomatoes; no doubt that’s exactly what I’ll do when an Indian food craving strikes during the wintertime. I can’t even tell you how pleased I am with this sauce’s big, bold flavors. I love making…

As the tomato and corn season comes to a close here in New England, I’m finally ready to get on board with all the fall flavors, cranberry beans to Brussels sprouts, butternut squash to beets. To kick off the season, I roasted up my first sugar pumpkin and decided to bake a pumpkin bread … along with the millions of other people doing…

Olive lovers, this one’s for you. Or, if you think you don’t like olives—I get it, as I never used to, either—perhaps it’s time to give them a shot? While energy dense, olives are highly rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fat and add texture and flavor to all kinds of food, pasta sauce to salads and beyond. Not to mention on…

An inadvertent theme develops on my blog every now and again, as in today’s homage to pesto. It’s actually reflective of real-life cooking and eating the P. K. Way, come to think of it. In other words, I make food over the weekend and then see how it inspires me when creating meals during the week. A few of these…

Apparently I have a lot to say about pesto this week. If you’re just tuning in to The Nutrition Doctor is In the Kitchen, that’s because I took advantage of the last-of-the-season basil at the farmers’ market to whir up a big batch of pesto to get into the freezer for the winter. (The cooking video is here.) I’m even working on…

It’s October, I know, and here in New England everyone’s all about winter squash this and pumpkin that. Whatever. Don’t get me wrong: I also have tons of dishes on my blog showcasing these fall favorites—with many more to come your way as the leaves fall and temperatures drop. Think: luscious butternut squash soup with coconut curry and to-die-for pumpkin whoopie pies…
