Growing Up with Worcestershire Sauce
I grew up in a family of Southern cooks. Specifically, Louisiana where food wasn’t really “food” unless it came out of the kitchen with at least some degree of Cajun herbs or spices.

Double Curry Dal with BEST HING EVER
We call this “double curry” because we use both DIY Balti Curry and Madras Curry (or Keto-In-A-Hurry) simmering sauce. This is a simple, delicious, nourishing meal that pairs perfectly with freshly cooked basmati rice, quinoa, or warm roti/chaptati or naan bread, or any favorite crusty sourdough or whole grain bread.
Gluten-Free Flaxseed Muffins with Buttermilk, Ghee and Spices
These muffins are tender, aromatic, healthy and delicious! They’re great with hot chai tea or coffee, fresh, seasonal fruit, yogurt, nut butters and additional ghee for spreading. The recipe makes 12-15 muffins. If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, blend 1/2 cup yogurt with 1/2 cup water to use as a substitute, or add 1 tbsp lemon juice to a measuring cup. Pour in some milk to equal 1 cup. Let it sit for 5 minutes before adding to the recipe.
Darjeeling Green Tea Latte
This is a simple, wonderful tea that can be made with your choice of milk, however, the richer the milk (or nut milk) the creamier and more delicious the tea. If you enjoy dairy products, try this recipe with 6 Tbsp whole milk and 2 Tbsp cream in place of half cup (8 Tbsp) milk. The tea is wonderful hot, but can also be enjoyed cold on a hot summer day.
Iced Green Tea with Ginger, Lime and Cardamom
Enjoy this delicious green tea year round. For a truly beautiful iced tea, add some blueberries to the bottom of your glass when serving. This recipe makes enough for one person but is easily doubled, tripled or quadrupled, as desired.
Ayurveda Cardamom-Citrus Immune Support Tea
This tea is wonderfully fragrant with cardamom and orange. It’s ideal for spring and winter. We use Organic Darjeeling Green tea, however Organic Darjeeling Black Tea or a favorite herbal tea such as spearmint could also be used. The Immune Support Tea contains Guduci, a popular Ayurvedic herb used traditionally to support good immunity.
Tandoori Seared Chicken Legs
This is an incredibly easy recipe that boasts such great flavor you’ll be making it a lot! The chicken is seared in a cast iron skillet in hot ghee to brown on both sides, then transferred to the oven to continue cooking. We used whole chicken legs (thigh with drumstick) but you can use the breast with skin, if desired, although the roasting time will likely be a bit longer. You can easily make as much chicken as your skillet can hold.
