one of the best parts about cooking at home - wearing my Anthropologie apron that is just as much of an accessory as my jewelry - a great treat when guests come over too

The first step in Jamie Oliver's tikka masala dish was two onions, chile, ginger and cilantro - my first time working with ginger and boy, does it make a difference!
