BRUSCHETTA PLATTER (with tomato & basil, mushroom & thyme, olive-caper tapenade, and oven-dried tomatoes)

Posted September 10 by Kirthana Kumar

I never realized this until now, but food blogging brings together a few of my favourite things..cooking (of course), food styling & food photography (which have been a more recent discovery) and my penchant for mindless writing. Don’t get me wrong, I make sure that the recipes that I post on here are my absolute… Read more »

THAI-INSPIRED SQUID, PRAWN & GRAPEFRUIT SALAD | So THAI-INSPIRED SQUID, PRAWN & GRAPEFRUIT SALAD | Somewhere between craving something light and realizing I had seafood to use up, this salad happened. It borrows a lot from Thai pomelo salad—fresh herbs, juicy citrus, plenty of crunch—but gets a protein upgrade because sometimes fruit and texture aren’t enough to count as a real meal. This is a salad that eats like dinner, not just a detour before something heavier. It’s fast, flavourful, and exactly the kind of salad that doesn’t leave you wandering the kitchen an hour later looking for crackers. It’s zippy and fresh, with enough heft to keep you grounded. And best of all? It comes together in less time than it takes for someone to post another “gut-healing” smoothie bowl. Honestly, this might heal your soul a little more anyway. Recipe is linked

Bok Choy & Shiitake Stir-Fry | A quick yet satisfy Bok Choy & Shiitake Stir-Fry | A quick yet satisfying lunch, brimming with vibrant greens and earthy mushrooms. True to the essence of a good stir-fry, it comes together in under 20 minutes, relying on pantry staples—save for the dried shiitakes, unless, like me, you deem them essential and keep a generous stock on hand. We usually eat this with fried rice and fried eggs to top, but you can bulk it up with tofu or chicken too. Some light chopping, a quick toss, and boom, lunch is ready before you even have time to debate takeout. Recipe is linked.

Orange chicken salad | This is exactly what you th Orange chicken salad | This is exactly what you think it is: Asian-style orange chicken, but served without the rice and instead fashioned into a scrummy salad. I air fried the chicken here, but you could just as easily get similar results (albeit with a bit more oil) with baking or pan-frying them. Recipe is linked
