Inside Out | A Bookish Mix - T Magazine Blog Rita KonigThe bookcases in Ahmad Sardar’s New York apartment are stocked not just with books, but with all kinds of art and objects. There is a definite art to filling bookshelves. I don’t think there is any right or wrong way; the only thing that doesn’t work for me is when they are empty. While scouring design books, I find that I am always drawn to rooms where an entire wall is devoted to books. Yesterday morning I went over to Ahmad Sardar’s East Village apartment to photograph his wall of bookshelves. I am currently working on a project where I am installing Vitsoe shelving, an adjustable metal system designed in 1960 by Dieter Rams, which works fantastically in both contemporary and traditional spaces. But I also want to add quite a few things to these shelves that aren’t books. Have fun with your bookshelves and keep everything moving.

Homemade Nutella There’s something so wonderfully addictive about Nutella. I’m not sure what it is, really, maybe the aroma of the hazelnuts mixed with the soft texture of the chocolate, and the knowledge that you can spread it on your favorite foods and call it breakfast the way the Europeans do. Clearly, the Europeans are very intelligent when it comes to breakfast. When I saw this recipe for homemade Nutella from Elana’s Pantry, I loved the simplicity of the ingredients that she used. She uses agave instead of refined sugar, simple unsweetened cocoa powder and protein rich nuts. You begin by laying the hazelnuts out on a sheet tray or roasting pan and roasting them in the oven for 8-10 minutes. When they are ready they will be slightly darker and their skins will crack. This is good because you now will need to rub the skins off with a paper towel. Then transfer the nuts to a food processor … And blend away. This is what it looks like when it is halfway there. Now you add the cocoa … The vanilla …

Fatfree Vegan Recipes How to make a small kitchen efficient | The San Diego Union-Tribune I've got nothing against these grand spaces, but it always warms my heart – and my design sensibilities – to visit small kitchens that sparkle with both efficiency and style. Boat owners have long known that, with disciplined use of space and creative selection of essential kitchen tools, a small kitchen works wonderfully. The same is true for those of us (me included!) who live in homes with relatively small kitchens. We have all learned to arrange our spaces to comfortably and efficiently utilize the essentials – stove, sink, refrigerator and counter space – and to enable us to relish those memorable moments we spend in our kitchens with family and friends. I have a good friend who loves to cook, but was frustrated by the fact that the kitchen in her cottage-style home was not only small, dark and cramped, but poorly laid out. Define the space: Don't try and make one small kitchen serve too many functions. »Next Story»
Channa Palak Recipe | Indian Spinach and Chickpeas curry Its funny when many people I know assume I have lots of time to burn, cos I sit and cook so much! Why funny? - you might ask. As long as someone has interest they would find ways and means to do it, is my explanation. Like for example, my husband has been behind me practically for 2 yrs now (yes, that long) to improve my photography skills. He insists that its a good thing to learn the techniques, learn the composition, learn the "Rule of thirds", so on and so forth! Take this Channa Palak for instance. Tips * I usually add cinnamon, bay leaf and turmeric while cooking chickpeas and then discard the cinnamon and bay leaf once the chickpeas is cooked. Method In a pan, heat 1 tsp of oil. Add the chopped tomatoes, green chillies along with the rest of the seasoning including salt. Add the chopped spinach on top. Add the chickpeas and close with the lid. Stir to combine , add more seasoning if you required.
