What better way to end a year and to start a new one than cooking for and eating with loved ones ❤... There is no sincerer love than the love of food. And sharing that 💞 forward.

The night before NYE... Eating well and working out goes hand in hand. What better than to cook up nourishing comfort South Asian faves with some hard working folks after a sweat-inducing grapple and roll jiujitsu session 🥋💥?

It was an intimate social cook and eat venue, as we whipped up Indian faves with butter chicken, wilted spinach raita, a chopped salad, basmati rice and fresh bought plain and onion roti, samosas and fish patties.
What a delicious soul-comfort South Asian spread!
Guaranteed good times with this dynamic bunch- I don't know what our bellies were more full from-
Food or Laughter?? 🤣🤣🤣. #jellyinmybelly #laughtertherapy

Caught the eyes of my friends at the Martial Arts studio when I posted about my Indian cooking class with seniors 😁. Mild and spicy versions of butter chicken served with basmati rice countered with a cooling wilted spinach raita... thank you to recipes by my friend, renown cookbook author and leading authority on Indian cooking Smita Chandra! See her step-by-step Butter Chicken recipe.

Made it a complete meal experience with Indian counter-bought fresh fried veggie samosas served with coconut sambal and springy roti. Finished off with Chai tea and butter cake! What an incredible cook & learn comfort lunch on that cool wintry day!
"There is something almost addictive about the rich, creamy, mildly spiced tomato sauce, studded with succulent morsels of roasted chicken." -- Smita Chandra. We all agreed it was "Aromatic, rich and velvety" ...
Perfect fluffy basmati rice finished with cubes of butta'.
What a way to end the year doing what I love best- sharing it forward with my love for cooking and eating with AmaZing people 💕! First with friends, then hosting family on NYE.

Then starting the New Year with a blueberry pancakes brunch for the sleepover bunch cause this auntie promised!
I was a super tired auntie but so worth it seeing the smiles on these Happy Campers!
Cuz buzz!
So today I open up this pretty papaya, and I find a seed germinating within. As a person who strongly believes in symbols and hidden messages, I immediately conjure up what this budding seed is trying to tell me- is it growth? Potential? Resurgence? Birth? More thoughts on this, for the new year and projects in the works on my next post.
Have a brilliant start to 2020 my friends 🤗!
