As a dad, I’ve put in plenty of time at my kids’ hockey games. Without fail, after every game, both my sons love to indulge in the rink food court’s pretzels. They are not good, so we came up with our own recipe. To the uninitiated, making pretzels seems complicated, but it’s actually a pretty an easy way to learn the basics of bread-making. With a simple dough that comes together in minutes, the rest of the process is similar to making homemade bagels: shape, submerge, bake, snack. In the case of super soft pretzels, rather than boiling them, they are poached in a solution of water and baking soda. Though it might sound strange, the alkaline water makes the...

Time for a secondhand story called How to Trick the Thrift Gods. I’ve had a yellow wool coat on my thrift wish list for probably two or three years ever since I saw Olivia Palmero’s coat years ago. Although I did find yellow coats many times, they were never really what I had in mind – I wanted either a pea or funnel neck coat in a specific shade of bright yellow- so I kept passing since it wasn’t really a priority and I didn’t wanna thrift something I truly didn’t love. Finally this year I gave up and splurged on one I found on sale at Nordstrom Rack. I kept the tags on and didn’t wear it right away...
On my continued quest to use this time in lockdown somewhat productively by cooking and making all those culinary things I have never got around to trying or have been too intimidated by to even attempt, this Saturday, inspired by my yummy potato tortilla that got me feeling all holiday like, I thought it was just about time to try my hand at making that iconic Spanish rice dish that is paella! Not a strictly traditional paella I will say, I don't eat chicken and chorizo and also couldn't be bothered to find good quality prawns, but this vegan version was an absolute dream and so vibrant in its flavours that no meat or fish or even dairy was missed! Indeed this...
It’s my mom’s birthday and there’s no better way to say happy birthday than with a special cake! I’ve always believed in simple ways to show love, because to me the simple gestures are the ones that are the most thoughtful and the most loving. Anyone can buy something flashy, or stuff a card with money or gift cards; words can be powerful but can get lost in chaos. When we stop and take a moment in our busy lives to show someone we care, that we thought of them, we show them that we indeed love them. I’ve alway done this with food, learning from my grandma and my mom as a little girl. They always knew what was...
