What's in the Fridge?

Alison Roman’s cauliflower pasta That she claims is her go-to Mac n cheese after a hard’s day work. She is internet famous for “the stew,” a chickpea stew dish with turmeric, ginger and coconut milk. That’s how I found her but I’m not a coconut curry girl so this suits my taste much better. She should be famous for this but I guess it’s not gluten free and that’s the craze these days. .
