Thick & Creamy Pumpkin Puree Soup
This is a very filling, comforting soup and would be a lovely appetizer for Thanksgiving. It is also very quick and easy! I have been making so many soups lately because cold weather is approaching and this is definitely one of my favourites.
Pulled 'Pork'
Trumpet Mushrooms are large, meaty and tough. They shred lengthwise like string cheese. They’re perfect for creating a chewy, meat-like texture. This tastes authentic. You could expand on this idea to make a convincing ‘carne
asada’.

Roshi's chaat it up pizza
Roshi’s Online
Store
As the first order of business for this post, I would like to announce the opening of the Roshi’s Online Store . As our very first product, we will be selling incense sticks (known as agarbathies in India) which I brought back from India this summer. The incense sticks are
hand made by the Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry, India. The Aurobindo Ashram is well known for its support of cottage industries (industries made by hand, in a home and not a factory), like production of incense sticks, textiles, artwork, etc. I brought back a bunch of these incense sticks for myself because they smelled so wonderful and they are made with all natural ingredients. For more
information on the incense, you can visit the
Auroshikha website. Then head over to our store to pick up a batch.
Chaat it up
Pizza
So I actually started this recipe with something completely different in mind, which ended up not working out like I wanted it too (I would of had to use a dehydrator to get it just right, and you all know how Ro and I dislike waiting for food). After playing around
with what I had made, I thought I would go for more of a fusion feel on this one. The idea of pizza popped into my head, and so the chaat it up pizza was born. I actually wasn’t sure if it would taste good until I took a bite, and wow! what a bite.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with chaat (literally meaning to lick or to taste), this should be a good introduction. Chaat is style of Indian snack food, mostly found in the north of India, and consists of all of my favorite Indian dishes. Chaat usually consists of a variety of cracker like snacks, topped yogurt, tamarind chutney, yogurt, and basically every spice known to man. The result is an explosion of flavors you probably didn’t know was possible and a stomach that will likely be angry with you for submitting it to such a concoction. Luckily, this dish should give you all of those wonderful flavors without the resulting gas problems. Hope you all enjoy it!

Incredible Mushroom Soup!
This is very rich and super good! It’s looks are deceiving! I made a smaller portion at first just playing around with leftovers and both me and my boyfriend had a “ommagawd” reaction so I tried to get it again and write down portions. Feel free to start with smaller amounts of spices and adjust up.
Carrot-Red Pepper Soup (mmmmm!)
This is a raw re-make of Deborah Madison’s Carrot-Red Pepper soup (one of my fav’s pre-raw) and tastes pretty similar. It’s light (no oil) and the dill and orange shine and gives it a unique kick. A little bit sweet, but not overpowering.
