Curry Potato Salad with Sweet Peas

By //  by Candace Sampson

I love potato salad. To me it's not just a side for picnics, it's a meal. Through the school year, I routinely make potato salad to cover school and work lunches. So when Patak's asked me to try a recipe from their amazing online cookbook Smoke & Spice, I jumped at the opportunity to make their Samosa Inspired Potato Salad. To me, it's a Creamy Curry Potato Salad with Sweet Peas and the taste is absolutely mind-blowing. You'll love the sweet and mildly spicy taste of this salad and …

The 100 Foot Journey and Patak’s Canada

By //  by Candace Sampson

The best part of being a Patak's Mom this past year, aside from all the great food I've been trying, is the way Patak's Canada encourages us not just to learn about Indian food but the culture as well. They have sent us out to Indian restaurants, asked us to try something new from Indian culture, to celebrate Diwali, and in our eleventh month of this amazing journey they sent us to the movies. And what a fantastic movie they chose! The 100-Foot Journey is one of the sweetest movies I've every …

How to Make A Mango Lassi

By //  by Candace Sampson

I had my first mango lassi a few months ago at a local Indian restaurant. Since that time I've been obsessed with how to make a mango lassi. It wasn't as easy as I thought. I tried fresh mango and frozen mango but nothing was really coming close the one I first fell in love with. Then we were in an Indian store and I came across a can of mango pulp and a light bulb went off. Of course, this must be the secret ingredient.

Curry in a Hurry Pizza

By //  by Candace Sampson

Have I mentioned I'm loving this gig as a Patak's Mom? Because I gotta tell you mixing in a little India is probably the most fun I'm having in the kitchen this year. So far, I am loving everything we try but most of all I'm really digging the convenience. Like this Curry in a Hurry Pizza I made tonight. I bought store bought sesame flat bread, cooked up some chicken with some mild curry paste, added a few veggies on top and voila...Curry in a Hurry Pizza. There is no doubt that 9 out of …

Indian Food, My Love Affair Continues

By //  by Candace Sampson

Almost two years ago, I tested the waters and made Indian food at home for the first time. My husband has always been a big lover of Indian food so I felt it was only fair that I give it a honest go. From that first Butter Chicken I made, to today, I've come a long way and I'm happy to say that the more I try, the more I fall in love with Indian food. This month, Patak's asked the Patak's Moms to go out for dinner. Related: This is the best ambassadorship ever. Alright, I'll go out and …
