Millets are highly nutritious, and I have been trying to include more millets in my diet. You can use them to make various dishes like upma, khichdi, pongal, pulao, and dosa as a rice substitute. I used Foxtail millet to cook in the Instant Pot without pre-soaking it. It comes out fluffy and perfect every time when cooked in an electric pressure cooker. Here are some more Indian Millet Recipes you might enjoy:...
It probably doesn’t come as a surprise that my pantry is filled with various dried and preserved goods. From these ‘sun-dried’ tomatoes, coconut flakes, and powdered milk to this dried thyme.

If you’re someone who, like me, loves to whip up all kinds of desserts and treats at a moment’s notice, then you’ve probably noticed several recipes that call for raw eggs, like homemade mayonnaise, royal icing, or authentic tiramisu – for example. Unfortunately, with the risk of food-borne illnesses like salmonella, it’s understandable that not everyone feels comfortable attempting these recipes and consuming raw eggs. To be honest, it might be a bit of a Western thing – I know countries all over the world consume raw eggs with no difficulty – like in Korean bibimbap bowls, Japanese mixed egg rice (tamago kake gohan), and let’s not forget the athletes who drink straight-up raw eggs… However, if you’ve ever had salmonella, then you know it’s no joke!...
