Quick bakes and global sweets, many eggless

Hundreds of recipes by Priya Desai – fast weeknight bakes, eggless cakes and sweets from around the world.

Profile:

Priya Desai's recipes are built around speed and range. Most of her work sits in Quick & Easy: baked orange chicken, cauliflower rice arancini, a green bean casserole made without canned soup, plus snacks and drinks that come together in under an hour. Alongside them are bakes that happen to skip the eggs, such as a simple vanilla cake and British-style rock cakes for afternoon tea.

The second big thread is Global Delights, where she follows dishes across borders: Mexican tripas tacos and sweet strawberry tamales, Argentinian chimichurri, Mediterranean stuffed peppers and a Louisiana-style loaded fries recipe. Her sweeter recipes cover fruit-forward desserts like pear cobbler with maple syrup and low-calorie peach desserts, as well as zucchini cakes in gluten-free versions with the number of slices stated up front.

Her recipes tend to give clear quantities, serving counts and total times, so a dish is easy to plan around. Browse her latest recipes below to find something for a busy evening or a relaxed weekend bake.
