Mangalore-Style Fish Curry
This curry has roots in the port city of Mangalore, in the southern state of Karnataka. Traditionally, we’d use kingfish or fresh sardines, but you could use black cod, halibut, or grouper instead. Full credit to chef Easo Johnson of the Taj Bekal Resort & Spa, who gave me this…
Insalata Cesare
Caesar Salad with Crostini This salad was originally developed by an Italian immigrant, Caesar Cardini but it can be found in restaurants in Italy because of its popularity with tourists. Our version is healthier than the traditional version and we think the flavours are quite authentic. Taste this one blindfolded…

Melanzane funghetti
Aubergines en sauce tomate Melanzane funghetti veut dire, littéralement, « champignons d’aubergine ».

Salade de légumineuses au halloumi
Pour une Syrienne, mettre du fromage dans une salade, ce n’est pas habituel. À force d’en voir partout ici, j’ai fini par succomber ! En garnissant cette salade de légumineuses de halloumi, on obtient un plat complet, qui fait un excellent lunch nourrissant. Dans la vinaigrette, le cumin et le…
Tomato Tonnato
When we decided to write this book, our first thought was, “You know what the world needs right now? Another take on vitello tonnato!” Just kidding—nobody needs another version of this classic Piedmontese dish. But because tomato season is so special and because Ryan’s and Steph’s moms really loved this…
