Print Recipe Roasted Cauliflower Roasting cauliflower transforms it completely. It goes from a tasteless, styrophoam-like vegetable into the most deliciously caramelized, and versatile one – a blank canvas, ready to take on flavour.

Nutella Chocolate Chip Banana Bread with Hazelnuts
Don’t even ask how many times I’ve made banana bread over this confinement period! I can’t say I’ve been sad about it though. I secretly enjoy and loathe seeing bananas getting too dark a shade for my eating pleasure. I like eating bananas that are perfectly yellow with a few dark marks here and there….

Baked Cauliflower Buffalo “Wings” + Ranch Dip
It sounds crazy to some, I know. What do you mean cauliflower wings??? The thing is, the only way these are trying to be wings is in the sauce and colour. That’s about it. This recipe doesn’t try to mimic the texture of chicken at all. That would be gross come to think of it….

Extra Crispy Baked Fish Tacos
These baked fish tacos are THE best and absolutely fool proof. I’ll confess here and now that I made these without issue after a virtual happy hour in which I had two pretty strong margaritas! Hence the lack of photos lol. (More to come, after I make these again) I am always searching for recipes…

Obscenely Chocolatey Chocolate Cookies
Since Easter, which was cancelled, I have been craving chocolate; specifically Cadbury mini-eggs. Seems like after the toilet paper, lysol wipes, hair dye and flour shortages the obvious next things to go were Cadbury mini eggs of course! Weird. Anyway, this post has nothing to do with mini-eggs but it does have a lot to…

Turmeric-Coconut Curry with Pork and Greek Yogurt
The dish has everything! – different flavours and textures; soft, crunchy and creamy. It’s warm and cool from the yogurt, bright with citrus and hot too, if you care to add some chili pepper. It’s one of the more satisfying dishes I’ve had in a while. Maybe next time I’ll try ground chicken instead of…

The Juiciest Brined Grilled Chicken
Brining, this is new to me. I mean, I know that capers are brined, cheese and and Turkey too…. I know I like it but I’d never done it! What does it do, how do you do it? Thankfully, it’s a no brainer and you’ll never go back to grilling chicken breast without brining it first.

One-Pot Crispy Braised Chicken
This chicken is deceptively easy to make and my favourite part about it is that you get both tender braised chicken with a satisfyingly flavourful crispy skin. The little broth that is produced has a slight hint of vinegar, which is used to deglaze the pan, which may sound unusual but it is spectacular as…
