Namaste, and welcome to my blog! I look forward to sharing my knowledge with you as we embark on this culinary journey together. My goal is to inspire you to think outside the box, educate you on Indian spices and their medicinal attributes, and to introduce you to nutrient-rich, sustainable, simple, and delicious, Indian vegetarian & vegan cuisine packed with robust mouth-watering flavors & health benefits. I will also post recipes of subsequent cuisines (Italian, Asian, Mediterranean, and so forth), but with an emphasis on plant based ingredients, juicing concoctions, and eggless baking as well. The spread will be versatile and eclectic! Thank you for stopping by! Chef Teena Vegetarian Enthusiast & Avid Cook

Wow! So impressed with the Vitamix! I was skeptical about making my mint/cilantro chutney in it and turns out, I was pleasantly surprised! No more food processor, magic bullet, or blender...this machine does it all! Can't wait to test my soups next-:)

Soup: Channa Dal with Opo squash. Healthy, light and savory. Cooked magically in a Fagor pressure cooker in 25 minutes after soaking lentils for 2-4 hours prior.
