The first time I made a meal for my husband, it was a complete disaster. I had just moved to LA from New York and I remember being excited to cook him a meal because that was one thing I knew I could do well. I was so excited to impress him with my culinary skills.
This meal wasn’t even anything elaborate. It was a vegetable stir fry – a dish many would think is one of the easiest to make! I brought it out and waited for Johann’s reaction.
Growing up in an Indian household, there were certain flavors I grew up loving – rose, saffron, cardamom, mango and pistachio (to name a few). Pistachio ice cream is still one of my favorite ice cream flavors!
I’ve been wanting to make more pistachio flavored desserts and I thought my birthday was the perfect excuse to try my hand at a pistachio cake – a Vegan Pistachio Matcha Cake with Chocolate Ganache Frosting to be exact.
