The name “Manzano” actually comes from the Spanish word “manzana”. Manzano means “apple”, which is why it is also known in places as the “apple pepper”. Apple or apple-like in appearance, it’s not surprising that this pepper has been given such a nickname. Manzano peppers are cherry to apple-sized fruits with a spicy flavor and a high concentration of vitamins C and A. They definitely have a nice kick....
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Tutturosso. The opinions and texts are all mine. I not only love dining at Italian restaurants, but I also love to recreate their popular dishes at home. Vegan Fried Ravioli is one of the most popular recipes on the blog. I also regularly make Alfredo Pasta at home. KR has been asking me to make Italian vegetarian Minestrone Soup and Eggplant Parmesan for a long time!...
Without the use of various sauces and spices, you can’t season the food well. Ingredients like honey, lemon, vinegar, sweet syrups, lime juice, cheese or seasoning pastes are used for flavoring the foods, enhancing all the flavors perfectly. Each ingredient contributes to the final taste of a dish differently, making it either sweet, sour, saltier or spicier. When it comes to Japan’s famous cuisine, foods like sushi and ramen instantly come to mind....

Let me introduce you to an aromatic and refreshing Japanese scallion pancake called Negiyaki. This Osaka specialty is my husband’s favorite savory pancake, so I was excited to discover how easy it is to make at home in a frying pan. I’ll share the tips that I learned from my best friend Yukako in Osaka for how to keep the negiyaki crisp, light, and fluffy! If you’re craving more savory pancake recipes, try my Okonomiyaki, Hiroshima-Style Okonomiyaki, and Korean Pancake (Pajeon) next!...
Goan Neureos are deep-fried, flaky pastry stuffed with coconut & dried fruit filling. They are also known as Karanji in Maharashtra, sweet Somas in Tamil Nadu, Gujiya or Ghughra in North India. Somas usually also include gram dal, and Gujiyas have mava (milk solids) in the stuffing. Other than tiny variations from region to region in India, they are almost the same. These are made for festivals like Holi, Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali & Christmas....
Lotus Biscoff Fans if you are looking for something more Lotus-y then check out this recipe of mine - we are obsessed! I didn’t invent Cheesecake Jars. I can’t even figure out who did so unfortunately I can’t give credit where it’s due. It is safe to say though that the single serving dessert trend which started a few years ago is here to stay. The thrifty desi in me has always loved them because they are the worlds best way to use up the bit of ganache, cookies that I don’t need to be eating late into the night and any other fruit or nuts....
The dessert is typically garnished with nuts such as pistachios or almonds and sometimes edible rose petals. Rasmalai is often served during festive occasions, weddings, and celebrations, prized for its luxurious texture and rich flavors. I enjoy making traditional Indian desserts like Carrot Halwa, Paal Payasam, Poha Kesari, Vermicelli Kheer, Coconut Ladoos, Rava Laddu, Rose Basundi, and Mango Phirni. I also love making fusion desserts like Chai Cheesecake, Carrot Halwa Baklava, or Gulkand Ice Cream....
Noto Peninsula (能登半島) is a popular tourist destination located at the tip of Ishikawa Prefecture, protruding into the Sea of Japan from Japan’s mainland. It is known for its long coastline and natural sceneries, including beaches, rock formations, and renowned Shiroyone Senmaida rice terraces. Our original itinerary was to drive around the entire peninsula over the 2 days we were there. However, the drive would take at least 4 to 5 hours nonstop and would not give us time to fully enjoy the sights....
Have you ever wondered why Japanese food is considered healthy? What’s the secret to the Japanese people’s longevity, 87.1 years for women and 81.1 years for men? (compared to 78.8 years and 75.1 years in the U.S., respectively). Not surprisingly, part of the answer lies in what the Japanese eat and how they learn about nutrition and food education. Japan Dietary Habits and Food Education The Japanese traditional meal called Ichiju Sansai (一汁三菜) is a balanced diet of rice, protein (typically fish and tofu), and vegetables, usually eaten three times a day....
One of the signature flavors of Okonomiyaki is the thick, sweet brown sauce drizzled on top. Without it, this Japanese savory pancake would be missing the right taste. Simply known as okonomiyaki sauce (お好み焼きソース), it’s a condiment packed with umami flavor similar to Tonkatsu Sauce. While you can find ready-made okonomiyaki sauce at Japanese or Asian grocery stores, it is really easy to make at home with just four pantry ingredients....

My love for these buns comes from Karachi trips which always involve multiple trips to Dolmen Mall. For the longest time Pappa Roti was on the main floor of the mall and a regular Jafri hangout. It was one of the things everyone liked to eat and I have spent many hours sitting at those wicker tables and chairs hanging out with the people I love most. Last weeks Pappa Roti bun obsession was probably fueled largely by the people I was missing not the buns we ate together....

This is my very first recipe using leek as an ingredient. Leek is not a common vegetable in Japan. We have Tokyo negi, or naganegi, which is similar to leeks, but negi (green onion) is usually thinner and longer while leeks tend to be wider and shorter. Recently I joined FoodBuzz, an online food-blog community and I found so many foodies’ blogs around the world. If you have a chance, spend some time and browse around....

Why Should I Make this Cake? What is Ras Malai? Ras Malai is a traditional South Asian dessert in which sweetened milk is cooked and perfumed with chopped nuts, cardamom and a little saffron (sometimes, not always). Sweetened tender mini cakes are then placed in that milk to soak up all those flavours. There is something about that milky cake texture that makes it an almost natural dessert to convert into a Ras Malai Tres Leches Cake....
