When Classics Meet Pop Culture: My Rogan Josh

When Classics Meet Pop Culture:  My Rogan Josh

I’ve long been fascinated by the cuisines of the Middle East and India, and have had the pleasure of sampling some very good dishes over the years through pot luck lunches at the office, and in trying good restaurant recommendations from friends.

Alpen Magrone (Mountain Macaroni)

Winter doesn’t seem to want to cut us a break, and when it’s really cold outside, my body naturally craves carbs. Something I can eat a whole bowl of, and feel better for doing so. My inner child leans strongly towards mac and cheese (in any incarnation), and today was no different. With my daughter […]
