Shonal's Kitchen is an eclectic array of dishes using various ingredients from the "everyday" pantry. It helps you to create a meal from start to finish. From appetizers to desserts, meals are given recommended pairings, or you can choose your own. Special sections include a Thanksgiving Dinner, including a cooking schedule and timeline made possible for anyone to follow. Another special section is Mom's Indian Food. Several dishes I have learned from my mom and differ from what you would find in local Indian restaurants. Also included is the Home Chef's Pantry and Toolbox. I give suggestions of items needed for you to get started in the kitchen. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it!
