it all started with a love for food
This Indian-Filipino Chicken Curry recipe is famous in my family, and it’s easy to see why. Spicy, rich coconut curry infused with Indian spices and soy marinated chicken thighs makes for a delicious flavour fusion that everyone will enjoy.
This homemade lasagna bolognese is my pride and joy. Made with fresh homemade pasta, ricotta, ragù alla bolognese and stacked over 6 delicious layers. This is how my mom made it growing up – so lets call it the Canadian version of a traditional lasagna …
When I’m feeling under the weather (or feel like I need some fibre), I often make this lentil vegetable soup. This healthy soup is lightly spiced with a curry blend, along with fresh garlic, onion, carrot, celery, parsnip, potatoes, and rich chicken broth (or veggie).
These Raspberry Coconut Tarts are filled with raspberry jam and a sweet coconut filling, topped with almond icing and chocolate. A must try!
Pozole Rojo is all about the toppings. Honestly, it’s my new favourite stew because of the deeply rich (but not too spicy) broth, the tender pork, bright fresh toppings, and crunchy additions like tortilla chips (totopos) and cabbage. It’s amazing!
Moroccan Rice Pilaf is warmly spiced, aromatic, and full of texture from dried fuit and toasted nuts. This version is quick to make and pairs with almost anything – braised lamb, roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or even a chickpea stew.
Hungarian Goulash (or Pörkölt) is a rich meat, paprika, and onion stew primarily flavoured with sweet paprika. Served over spätzle, wide egg noodles, or even boiled potatoes for a rich and hearty dinner.
My dad put this chili recipe in one of my school cookbooks they sold each year. My dad always used beef and pork, but I’ve used a ton of different meats to great success. My favourite spin on it is elk and adding a habanero pepper for heat. This chili is popular everywhere it goes.
This flavourful Mexican pozole verde is made simple with shredded rotisserie chicken, canned salsa verde, beans, and hominy. The intense flavours brought out by the simple ingredients make this an easy weeknight recipe to whip up on short notice.
This soup tastes like fall. It’s warm, hearty, and a little bit spicy. This soup is ultimate comfort while also being incredibly good for you! It’s high in protein, fiber, and lots of nutrients and low in fat! Simple ingredients and simply delicious.
