it all started with a love for food
This quick minestrone soup is hearty, simple to make, and ready in under 45 minutes, perfect for warming up on chilly days. The recipe was torn out of a calendar from the year I was born and still remains one of my favourite regular soup recipes.
This is my ultimate potato salad recipe – popular at parties and the perfect side dish in summer for ribs, brisket, and more. Make sure you do a double batch for a gathering because it won’t last long! Adapted from the Joy of Cooking.
Fresh ricotta is not only creamier and more flavourful than store-bought but it is also half the price! Fresh ricotta is perfect to serve in lasagna, quiche, ravioli, or as a dip! This recipe makes about 1 lb of ricotta.
This is my favourite side dish when I make Indian food but it definitely holds its own! Tender pieces of potato and cauliflower are cooked in a flavourful masala that emphasizes the flavour of the vegetables. It’s also freezer friendly!
These quick air fryer french fries are ready in under 20 minutes and deliciously crispy for a perfect quick snack or as an easy side dish on a night you don’t want to turn on the oven.
This delicious dish is sure to impress, and ready in just over an hour. Deep smoky flavours dominate, giving it a warm, almost spicy flavour. This delicious and filling recipe serves 4 in a 14″ paella dish, but can easily be doubled in a larger paella pan.
Caesar salad is my favourite “fancy” salad I like to make when I have company. It’s simple to make and prep ahead, tossing just before sitting down to eat. It’s fantastic on romaine or kale and great in a chicken Caesar wrap.
There’s this restaurant near me that makes the most amazing sweet chili seitan bowl. I’m obsessed with it so I had to find a way to enjoy it at home too! With crispy tofu, homemade sweet chili sauce, creamy coconut rice, and topped with some delicious crispy wonton strips.
Whip up a quick meal with Thai peanut noodles with tofu. Rich, creamy, and loaded with veggies for a healthy dinner option.
We always ordered Mango Curry at this Indian restaurant called The Mango Tree. This mango curry is creamy, a little sweet, and a whole lot of flavour! It can be made as it is here or modified using any number of meat alternatives.
