		<title>Prawn Masala in the Pakistani Manner</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lahore. The city of my birth. The city of the humble samosa. That flaky, deep-fried triangular parcel stuffed with cumin-laced, spicy potatoes you buy from the dhaba; kiosk, from that little alley behind Liberty Market, where they sell glass bangles, twirled and twisted organza scarves and sparkly rhinestone-studded sandals. Greasy and stuffed into a khaki [...]]]></description>

		<title>Montreal Birthday Weekend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Honestly, I understand the sentiment, but what was the hotel thinking when they put a 20cm sparkler on my birthday cake? At midnight on Friday, my husband almost set the bed on fire, and no, I am not talking dirty on my blog. I mean literally, as in potential flames with smoke. Just back in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mast-o-Khiar- Cucumber &amp; Walnut Dip in the Persian Manner and My Birthday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That coral pink sludge we used to buy from the Sainsbury&#8217;s closest to our dorm was usually scooped up with salt and vinegar crisps. Taramosalata it was called. My Greek friend MM had introduced me to it, but I am sure it was quite different than the real stuff she was eating back home in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Double-Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t understand why I never tried a Reese&#8217;s Pieces when I was a child, maybe because the epic joy of having a jolly rancher with its neon watermelon and green apple flavours seemed more interesting than a boring, drab and round chocolate cup. On Halloween there were Nerds to be had, those tiny, hot [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fruit Chaat- Peach Salad in the Pakistani Manner</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I loved those kaanch ki churiyaan; glass bangles you’d find right before Eid at the Anarkali Bazaar in Lahore’s Old City. The vendors had every colour you could imagine- neon lemon, bubble-gum pink, dark and light violets and shimmery silver ones like mother-of-pearl. I loved going to the Anarkali Bazaar with my Nani Ami to buy my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nani Ami&#8217;s Sawayyan- Vermicelli Pudding in the Punjabi Manner</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It looked like a tangled mess, those sawayyan; vermicelli, lying in a mound in the silver-gilt rim white porcelain dish on Eid morning in Nani Ami&#8217;s home. Next to it lay dainty matching bowls with silver spoons, a large carafe of fresh, raw milk, a sugar bowl and several bowls of dried nuts, slivered, whole [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chutney Surkh-e-Murch: Red Pepper Chutney in the Afghan Manner</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Bullying. Stratford Landing Elementary School, Grade 2. In a suburb of Washington DC. Ami used to make me sandwiches for lunch so I wouldn&#8217;t have to eat the horrid spaghetti in bolognese sauce from the school cafeteria. This &#8220;Italian&#8221; dish was usually made with meat which looked more like cat food, straight out of [...]]]></description>
