Why I Keep a Bowl of This Around Honestly, it’s because I like the smell of ripe mangoes and berries all mingling together. No fancy ingredients, just what I had on hand. It’s not about presentation, not about making something look perfect. It’s about that moment when you open the fridge, see a bowl full
Potato Salad with Bacon and Dijon Recipe
July 17, 2025
Honestly, I never thought I’d get nostalgic over a potato salad, but last weekend I pulled out my grandmother’s old meat grinder. Turns out, nothing beats that rough, uneven texture it creates, like tiny mountain ranges of potato pieces. Sautéed bacon bits, sharp vinegar, the smell of onions, everything dancing together in the air, reminds
Carnivore Chicken Salad Recipe
June 14, 2025
There are days when the kitchen feels quieter than usual, when you open the fridge without rushing, glance at what you have, and somehow end up deciding on something simple because simplicity just feels right.

Tomato Burrata Salad Recipe
April 4, 2025
There’s something really comforting about putting together a Tomato Burrata Salad on a slow day. I remember once slicing into a ripe tomato while the kitchen was still quiet, the kind of quiet where you can hear the soft scrape of the knife against the cutting board. The burrata was chilled just enough, and when

Roasted Squash Salad with Toasted Sage Recipe
February 25, 2025
As the outside air turns crisp, I love turning to squash for its comforting warmth and subtle sweetness. But this time, I’m giving it a twist, roasted to caramelized perfection, then tossed with surprising toasted sage and a splash of apple cider vinegar. The aroma alone, with hints of nutty squash and fragrant herbs, sparks
Radish Tuna Salad Recipe
February 1, 2025
Why Radish? One day I tossed in a handful of those thinly sliced radishes I’d forgotten existed. The sharp bite, the slight crunch, suddenly my tuna salad felt like a punch of spring in my mouth, instead of just cold fish and mayo. Everyone talks about quick lunches, but rarely do they make you pause.

Hi, I’m Mahek Manchanda the curious heart behind Dramatically Stirring.
I’ve always been most at ease in my own company. I’m not exactly a people-person (small talk still makes me cringe), but there are two things I’ve always loved with my whole heart: animals and food.
Pixie and Pepper, my two cats, have become the quiet constants in my everyday life. Pixie is the soft, watchful one who pretends not to care but never lets me out of her sight, and Pepper is the mischievous little spark who somehow ends up in every sunny spot and every photo I don’t plan to take.
