It's very rare that I ask Hubby Dear to run into the grocery store to pick up anything I need. When it does happen, however, it's never without strict and detailed instructions of what I want, where he can find it, and how to pick the best one. Even then, he has never entered a store without giving me at least one call to have me remind him of all that I said a few minutes ago. It's hard to ...
Ask Meena: Lavish Eid Menu
Here is a recent email I received from a long-time reader: Hi Meena! This year will be the first time that I'm hosting an Eid dinner in our new home. We only moved a couple of months ago, and have just started to settle in - so it'll also be the first time that a lot of my guests would be coming to the new house. Which is exactly why I desperately need your help. We're expecting 20-22 people in ...
Palak Gosht: Lamb & Spinach Curry
If there is one thing that conveniently finds it's way into my grocery cart every single week, then it has to be a family-sized bag of organic baby spinach. Funny as it may sound, this is one vegetable that is always welcomed at our dinner table - even more than carrots and cucumbers. Hubby Dear, Baby Dear and myself included, love spinach so much that I manage to add it to almost everything I ...

The first time I had Hubby Dear over at my place for dinner, I hate to admit it, but he was one of those, "I'm in the neighbourhood and I think it'll be awesome if I drop by for some dinner cooked by you!". We had just started seeing each other a few months ago. He was in town on some work, and thought that instead of meeting up somewhere, it would be great if I could cook him up a meal. Now, mind ...
Spiced Lamb Pilaf
With the snow finally melted all around me and the cold wave falling to a bearable low, you would think that I'm finally at peace with the weather. But I can only disagree ever so slightly. Now, I'm not much of a difficult person to please, except of course that one particular time when... Ohh, let's not get into that now, shall we! Sometimes I wonder if a change in preferences defines the epitome ...
Mixed Bean Soup
At any given time, my pantry shelves are decked with at least 5 different kinds of lentils, 3 different kinds of beans, 5 kinds of pasta, noodles and rice, and a basket full of spice mixes and sauces. Having such an elaborate pantry enables me to throw dinner on the table at the drop of hat when I'm in no position to shop for fresh supplies. I honestly believe that having a well-stocked pantry ...
