Sadhya is a celebratory feast, reserved usually for weddings and festivals, originating in Kerala, a state in southern India on the Malabar Coast. It is a vegetarian meal, traditionally served on a banana leaf, centered around rice and including a colorful array of flavors and textures, savory, pickled and sweet....
Khatte Aloo translates literally as sour (khatte) potatoes (aloo). But we have a slightly different take on that and think it is so much more! We believe the sole purpose of these cute little potatoes is to be a perfect vehicle for getting oo’mämē goodness from the jar to your mouth....
Grazing is such a wonderful way to share a meal. Mezze – originating in the Mediterranean and North Africa – is typically more appetizer or snacks, but we love making one big platter of everything needed to make a meal. This mezze brings together the flavors of North Africa and has as...
This refreshing combo of sliced citrus fruit splashes color across the table at the time of year when salad greens are looking a bit anemic. Grab some pink grapefruit, navel oranges, limes, and blood oranges and peel, slice and arrange. Top with fresh mint sprigs, slivers of dates and some...
This is a classic dressing made of ingredients that blend perfectly, though perhaps not top of mind as you stare at open pantry doors…just three ingredients when combined wear the hats of so many more.

Sesame seeds are common among cuisines of the Mediterranean – Greece, north Africa, the middle East – so it’s no surprise that they date back 1000s of years. Tahini, a paste or sauce made from ground sesame seeds, in fact traces its name back to the Arab word meaning “to...

You are in charge and without turning on the stove, you can pull this together in short order, using all the ingredients that you...
This dressing is a real workhorse for making mealtime magical. No doubt you have peanut or other nut butter on hand, and likely some soy sauce. The only thing else you’ll need is rice vinegar or some fresh lime juice. Lemon juice would work too, but we prefer the sweetness...
Cooking a whole fish can seem daunting but think about the oohs and aahs when one comes to the table in a restaurant. Can you see yourself – bathed in a candlelight glow – stepping into the spotlight to take your bows? We can. And we are here to chef...
You should be getting the idea that oo’mämē goes with everything. And anything. And something. And there’s nothing it won’t go with. At least not in the savory category, and we think there are a few dishes traditionally considered sweet where it can also lend a helping hand. It’s a...
Ever have one of those nights when ordering in sounds like such an easy solution, but the delivery comes and what was supposed to be dumpling goodness, not only looks like disappointment, but tastes like it, too? Or maybe you have some yummy sounding dumplings, pot stickers, Jiaozi in your...
Whatever you need to dip – we don’t judge – it will be infinitely tastier if dipped in an oo’mämē bath. We’re thinking dumplings or eggrolls but wouldn’t say no to scallion pancakes or coconut shrimp or even tostones. Depending on where you are traveling with your appetizer or other,...
