El Gringo Mestizo: Kitchen Tip: Saving Berries
http://ravi626.blogspot.com/2011/10/kitchen-tip-saving-berries.html
Recipes, travels and other miscellany. Friday, October 7, 2011. Kitchen Tip: Saving Berries. So I bought 12. Yes, 12 pounds of strawberries. It was all that would fit in my market bag. What can you do with 12 pounds of berries for two people? Why, freeze them for later of course! A yummy topping for pancakes, waffles, french toast, crepes, strawberry shortcake, etc. Here is the process we follow to get our berries in the freezer:. 1 Clean them really well. 2 For strawberries, cut off the end. 1/4 cup wat...

El Gringo Mestizo: Recipe: Parsley Walnut Pesto
http://ravi626.blogspot.com/2011/10/recipe-parsley-walnut-pesto.html
Recipes, travels and other miscellany. Wednesday, October 5, 2011. Recipe: Parsley Walnut Pesto. We love pesto, and really, who doesn’t? While the classic basil and pine nut pesto will always be a favorite, there are dozens of ways to make this simple dressing (I feel like it’s more of a “dressing” than a “sauce”). Basically, you just need a fresh herb or leafy green and some kind of nut. Add olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper, and voila! Probably the best thing about this dish, other than the delicious...

http://ravi626.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Recipes, travels and other miscellany. Friday, June 3, 2011. We invited some friends over for dinner last night, and we decided to do an Indian feast. My cousin, Aparna, from Chennai, has a food blog. She hasn't updated it in a while, but the recipes that are on there are great. We went all out and even bought banana leaves for our plates, ate with our hands, and thoroughly enjoyed some delicious food. Here are the dishes we made with links to Aparna's recipes. Thanks, cousin! A South Indian classic.

El Gringo Mestizo: April 2011
http://ravi626.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Recipes, travels and other miscellany. Saturday, April 30, 2011. Recipe: Savory Mango Soup. Had a tough time with this pic. It looked even better in real life! I know it's been a while, so I am going to reward your patience with an original recipe. How about that? If you are averse to mango because of it´s texture (like Maru), don’t worry! Also, I haven´t tried it yet, but I bet this same recipe would work well with tart peaches. I’ll have to try that and get back to you. These are the mangoes you want.

El Gringo Mestizo: Recipe: Chicken Soup
http://ravi626.blogspot.com/2011/09/recipe-chicken-soup.html
Recipes, travels and other miscellany. Tuesday, September 20, 2011. Meaning that it could raise the dead. When you get that nice, hot, deep-flavored broth, it can feel totally revitalizing, even if you’re not sick. This recipe is not fast, and it shouldn’t be. It’s chicken soup! Normally for us, chicken soup will be a follow-up dish to something that used a whole chicken, a way to use up the extra meat and bones, but I’ve written this one up so that you are buying the specific ingredients for those...

http://ravi626.blogspot.com/2011/09/recipe-no-fry-eggplant-parm.html
Recipes, travels and other miscellany. Sunday, September 4, 2011. Recipe: No-Fry Eggplant Parm. If you’re looking for something that is traditional, this is not it, but this is a great dish, and it’s super quick if you have the right things on hand. This one is easily a weekday meal. One rule here is you must use real parmigiano reggiano,. This recipe will serve 6 people generously. You can easily halve it (9x9 pan) or increase quantities to make a deeper casserole. 1 cup finely grated parmigiano reggiano.
