A-list Supermodel, Gigi Hadid, recently shared her favorite pasta sauce recipe in her stories on Instagram and the final result looked pretty next-level. Many of her followers quickly recreated the creamy tomato sauce at home and raved about how good it was. Some even made claims it tastes just like the famous $32.00 Carbone version I've been dying to try. Need I say more? So with that, I give you Gigi Hadid's Spicy Vodka Pasta Sauce recipe...
While I usually opt for cooking healthy versions of my favorite meals (low-cal this, dairy-free that), sometimes your body and soul just need some classic comfort food that, with each bite, brings you back to your childhood. For me, that's cream of mushroom soup. Not feeling too well this week, my amazing boyfriend set out to make me my favorite soup of all-time, from scratch. Being so used to the canned variety I grew up with, his recipe (sourced from the internet and tweaked to his taste) blew my mind and was too good not to share with you. So, I hereby present to you, The Ultimate Comfort Soup Recipe...
There are few things I love more on freshly made pasta than pesto, but as I've discovered in my journey to adopting a healthier diet, most (if not all) store-bought pestos contain cheap filler oils like canola oil, sunflower oil, etc., which are prime culprits for causing inflammation in the body. Not wanting to compromise on my stance against seed oils, I set out to make my own pesto, and in the process discovered you can actually make a pretty awesome pesto not only without seed oils, but also without the other 2 main ingredients...
Every time I'm in Shanghai, there's one dish I absolutely have to have and that's the eggplant dish from Shanghai Grandmother's Restaurant. The tender eggplant pieces in the sweet, sticky sauce it's smothered in is something I'd liken to fall-off-the-bone slow cooked ribs...but vegan!! Unfortunately, I cannot hop on a plane to Shanghai every time I crave this dish, so instead, I attempted to recreate it at home, and I must say, I got pretty close...
As you might have learned from my recent fluffy 2-ingredient naan bread recipe, I am a huge lover of Indian food, but, I also like to challenge myself to find healthier versions of my favorite dishes. Most butter chicken recipes call for things like ghee, butter, heavy cream, and flour, but I've found a way to make an insanely delicious version with none of the above! The magic ingredient...
Okay, so this recipe was born from sprouted potatoes. I know that sounds strange, but let me explain. Last week I had a massive bag of potatoes I'd bought that had started sprouting, which meant I needed to use a lot of potatoes in a short period of time. My solution? Potato soup! I'd made it before, but with dairy, which I am trying to cut out of my diet at the moment, so I thought I'd try a vegan version instead...
Though I am not a vegan, I really enjoy finding incredible vegan recipes. This, my friends, is one of them. For the last couple of years, I've been making this cheese sauce and I swear to you it is next-level delicious. Pour it over macaroni, broccoli, or whatever else your cheese-loving heart desires! Creamy and cheesy, I honestly now prefer it over the real thing...
Let's be honest, Indian food just isn't the same without a fresh stack of naan bread to pile your curry on top of. I've been cooking Indian curries at home for a few years now and have always paired it with store-bought naan (usually disappointing), or, if the craving was really strong, I'd buy naan bread from an Indian restaurant to eat with my homemade curry (so ridiculous!). Why? Because I truly didn't think making naan bread at home was possible without a special oven and hard-to-find ingredients. That is, until I discovered this...
Call me crazy, but l always thought making your own pasta was only to be attempted by Italian chefs or extraordinary cooks with a pasta maker in their kitchen. Well...I was wrong. Making pasta from scratch requires only...
Introducing a side dish so good it will upstage your main: Domino Dauphinoise Potatoes.
It looks much more complex than it is, I promise...
