My favorite Indian spice – this cousin of cumin – is sweet, nutty and pungent. It’s just the right touch in taking dehydrated breads to a new level, to transport you to an exotic far away place.

Melon Milk: soooo refreshing, soooo satisfying

Melon Milk02

Sweet and Sour Lentils, Quinoa w/Basil Butter

Lentil and Quinoa Porriage, Basil Butter, Orange, Ginger1

Yummm, I put together 3 things that I had in my fridge to make a tasty, satisfying breakfast porridge. The flavors — basil, butter, orange, ginger, tamarind — brought me to all parts of the world.
