by Tazim Damji

Lately, I've been on a mission to "do summer" - which to me means going to parks, having picnics, going out on road trips, swimming in lakes, and generally enjoying life outside as much as possible!

Vegan Chickpea Yakhni Pilau

At many special occasions in my family and community pilau or yakhni are served. These are dishes that generally take a bit of preparation to put together and quite a lot of ingredients. These dishes are always looked forward to, well-enjoyed, and highly praised. Unfortunately for me and other vegans/vegetarians, these traditional dishes always contain meat. My vegan chickpea yakhni pilau is a spin on a well-known classic. Not only is my vegan chickpea yakhni pilau meat-free, it also comes ...

Vegan Pav Bhaji Recipe

by Tazim Damji

Vegan Pav Bhaji

Celebrating how much you love you partner, children or others doesn't have to mean defaulting to the old standbys of breakfast in bed or cake. I've always been partial to meals that make me feel warm and cozy inside; meals served at home and made with love. While others I know celebrate anniversaries and how much they love each other out at restaurants where prices are raised for occasions like Valentine's Day, I've always preferred to cook at home. Cooking a meal at home, preferably with ...
