Cowboy Caviar by Lynn Yamamoto

This is fresh, healthy and delicious. People love it, even kids. You can make it ahead, so it's great for a summer party. Serve it with scoop-shaped tortilla chips, or have it on the side as a relish. I add extra cilantro, because there can never be too much cilantro!

Cabbage Pachadi (salad) by Latha Samu

Grammy's Oil Pastry (from Betty Crocker) by Victoria Prehn

My recipe seems to be a bit modified from others I see on-line. The quantities I use are for a double crust, but for me, it's always been the perfect amount to make just one crust, plus a little extra. Grammy always used the extra to make cinnamon crust rolls for us kids upon arrival (dough with butter, cinnamon and sugar)

Savory Rice with Lentil Curry - Khichuri by John Spottiswood

We made this tonight and it was absolutely delicious! This has everything I love about Indian food.

Jamaican "Beef" Patties by Kiki Thompson

Coming from a Jamaican background, many times my palate craves the blended flavors of curry. So I veganized one of my favorite treats, Jamaican Beef Patties. These are kind of similar to Mexican empinadas, but spicy I was kind of skeptical at first, but you can not tell the difference…it’s all about the seasoning when it comes down…

Nankhatai Recipe (Indian Eggless Shortbread Cookies) by Hina Gujral

Nankhatai Recipe is a classic Indian eggless shortbread cookies prepared with ghee and gram flour. These days we all have fallen for fancy first world cookies with gourmet ingredients.

The key to these is achieving the right consistency by stirring like a mad man and then pressing the…
