Shveta Berry — Fri, 23 Sep 2016 04:47:47 +0000

The past couple of months have felt like a whirlwind. I started a new job. My husband, Arjun, started a new job. The kids went back to school and are actually at the same school for first time which is pretty exciting. It feels like quite an intense period of change and my mind has...

Whole30 Recap

Shveta Berry — Sat, 13 Feb 2016 00:27:38 +0000

Well folks, my Whole30 ended earlier this week. This was the first time in my life I have embarked on any sort of elimination diet and, honestly, it surprised me. The health benefits were great and the effect on my cooking even more profound. If I’m being perfectly honest, my cooking and eating were in...

I have already come clean about my cookbook hoarding tendencies so it will come as no surprise that all my gift recommendations are cookbooks. For the novice or experienced home cook that likes to dabble in Indian flavors, I think a well versed cookbook can help expand your repertoire and raise your understanding of the...

Healdsburg Highlights

Shveta Berry — Thu, 22 Oct 2015 04:00:18 +0000

Once a year, when my parents are visiting us during the summer typically, my husband Arjun and I escape the kids and take a couple of days off of parenting. I love my kids but one of the hardest parts about being a parent is you really never get a day off. And date nights...

Grilling Favorites and Classes!

Shveta Berry — Fri, 04 Sep 2015 03:30:38 +0000

August was an absolute blur. Work was a bit nutty for me. My son was out of school and going to a different camp every week. And my parents came to visit and we went on a short vacation to Lake Tahoe with them. Arjun and I also got the chance to escape by ourselves...

Guys, apologies for the long gap in posting! I just started a new job, we are in the middle of summer craziness with the kids and July has just run away from me. To be perfectly transparent I think I’m going to be posting every other week until things calm down a bit. But if...

How to Raise Adventurous Eaters

Shveta Berry — Fri, 19 Jun 2015 22:15:19 +0000

I am far from a perfect mother. I lose my patience too quickly, sometimes I yell, and my house is never clean enough. But my kids will eat just about anything. This is my one triumph, the place where I feel that my good enough is actually really good enough. I get asked all the...

Stocking Indian Spices

Shveta Berry — Fri, 08 May 2015 19:07:27 +0000

Indian food is very complex and interesting which is why I (and I’m guessing maybe you) like to eat it so much. However, that means when you step in the kitchen to prepare it you need a bevy of spices. I know it can be frustrating to embark on cooking a new cuisine only to...

Bollywood Tunes on Youtube

Shveta Berry — Thu, 16 Apr 2015 13:39:48 +0000

When I cook, it generally serves as an escape from my everyday life even though it is totally a mundane task. This is especially true of Indian food because it usually takes me back to my childhood or to a dish I loved while on vacation in India. This is also why I cook foods from...

Kolkata Eats

Shveta Berry — Thu, 05 Mar 2015 22:26:10 +0000

So, my sister was in town last weekend visiting from the Big Apple. I had grand plans to try my hand at a Bengali shrimp coconut milk curry (chingri maachher malaikari) that I have been trying to get right for YEARS! Seriously, Arjun’s grandmother made the most fabulous version of this dish that I’ve been trying...
