Vegan Speckled Pumpkin Curry
A spicy pumpkin-based curry with pureed pumpkin, roasted pumpkin cubes and a coconut milk and vegetable-based broth. No tomatoes, grain-free and ultra soothing. Going to India last year (by myself) was the wisest, scariest, most satisfying thing I’ve ever done. I fell in love with the feeling of being free, I connected with myself in…
Easy Chicken Curry
The familiar warm tones of ginger, garlic and cumin filled every nook and cranny of our home this week. I made batches of the stuff. Eggplant curry and lentil curry, sweet potato curry and this easy chicken curry. We had a healthy Indian food feast. And it was good.
Lentil and Spinach Curry
I love Indian food in a head over heels, madly, deeply, crazy, crushin’, love bug sorta way. I’m smitten. And there is no sign of it dissipating. But man, good luck finding Indian recipes that are ghee-free, dairy-free and oil-reduced. It’s like searching for a needle in a haystack!
Indian Red Lentil Stew
A girl’s gotta treat herself every once in awhile. Whether it’s a weekend retreat, getting a pedicure, or an elaborate haircut, doing something kind to ourselves makes us feel good, relaxed and special. It doesn’t have to be huge. Heck, I consider taking myself out to tea and reading for a couple of hours in…
Sweet Potato and Fennel Curry
India has been on my brain for the past few weeks. It feels like ages since I got on that plane and headed to Mumbai earlier this year. The waterfalls, the beach, the ashram… I returned home with a strong sense of self, a free soul and a happy heart. Maybe this yearning has been…

Rice Flour Crepes with Vegan Richa
Do you guys remember when I tried to make rice flour crepes, also known as dosa? It was a bad scene. Why I hadn’t thought about just using rice flour like Richa has in the recipe she’s sharing with us today is beyond me. Richa is the talented vegan and Indian food extraordinaire behind Vegan…
Canada Dosa Corner
Don’t let the construction tape on the sign fool you, this place is an absolute gem. From the delightfully proud and loving owners, to the classic presentation of South Indian cuisine, Canadian Dosa Corner has easily become my new favorite place to grab a nourishing lunch during the workweek. When I was asked to choose…
Simple + Healthy Roasted Eggplant Curry (baingan bharta)
From the time I begin my day at 4am, I’m on the move. I workout, head to the office for 8-9 hours, come home to walk the dogs, make dinner, and prepare for an evening of nutrition consults. I’m strapped for time, all the time but I’ll never, ever be willing to sacrifice a healthy meal…
Flavours of India: Dhal Aloo Kofta (vegan ‘meat’balls)
For more on the flavors of India series, check out: Aloo Palak, Payasam Pudding, Gluten-free naan and Malai Kofta. A dish called malai kofta was one of the 6 meals we chose to make during our Indian cooking class. I’d never heard of it, but the name sounded cool so I shrugged it off and…
