This zucchini dip is super healthy, delicious and extremely simple to prepare. Plus, it’s way cheaper than avocado toast and still quite healthy. These zucchinis (or courgettes if you’re in the U.K and the Netherlands) are pressure-cooked-cooked until they are broken down and only seasoned with a little bit of garlic, chili, lemon and salt…
If you’re looking to make meatballs without breadcrumbs then I’ve got you covered. A lot of people think that you have to add breadcrumbs to meatballs to make them stick but this is simply not true. As long as the meat is dry and it’s worked thoroughly, you won’t have any trouble. Plus a hefty…

With this magical machine, you can shave off a whole day of cooking compared to the normal stovetop simmered tradition. And…
Mutabal is, in my opinion, one of the best vegetable-based dips to come out of the Middle East. I’d even go as far as to say that it’s better than hummus (and I LOVE hummus!). This delicious eggplant dip is rich, creamy, garlicky, pleasantly smokey and peppered with plenty of fresh mint, good olive oil…

We drink smoothies every day and although we’ve had this tropical mango banana smoothie a myriad of times, it still never gets old. As we’re both big into citrus flavours, this tropical beverage always hits the spot. It’s got a TON of vitamin C from the fresh orange juice and it’s packed with digestion-aiding mango…
Everybody loves the chanterelle mushroom but the hedgehog mushroom is often overlooked. They’re not only just as delicious, but they’re also the best substitute for chanterelles, and even slightly cheaper. I’d take fresh hedgehog mushrooms over older chanterelles any day of the week because hedgehogs are beautiful mushrooms. I just LOVE the beautiful golden brown…
This is my ultimate no-fail holiday chicken dinner with the best roast potatoes and one seriously tasty mushroom gravy. I’ve become a big fan of the spatchcock chicken which delivers a faster cooking bird and even crispier chicken skin than the usual trussed chicken. But this recipe is really all about the potatoes that cook…
When I think of Christmas dinner, the first thing that comes to mind is sticky toffee pudding. Rich toffee, salted caramel and real vanilla bean are a few of the divine flavours that come together to make magic. And if you’re British (like my nanna) you already know the deal. Sticky toffee pudding or STP…
One of the best wild mushrooms you can buy is the black trumpet mushroom. Its strong earthy flavour with hints of smoke and coffee make this mushroom truly unique in flavour and a must-try. Black trumpets are commonly used in French cuisine and paired with other expensive ingredients like beef tenderloin, foie gras and beef…
Black salsify is really the Mercedes-Benz of root vegetables. Its delicate earthy aroma and slightly sweet flavour make this one of my favourite vegetables to eat. Depending on where you live, you might have seen this dirt-covered vegetable before in a farmer’s market mistaking it for a pile of dirty branches. But underneath those soil-covered…
What’s the most difficult recipe to make keto? I’m pretty sure it’s a keto sticky toffee pudding. Think about it, a regular sticky toffee pudding is basically the holy grail of sugary, carb-rich desserts with high concentrations of keto-unfriendly ingredients like sugary dates, brown sugar, white sugar and white flour. This recipe is crafted for…
These vanilla brownies are not just seriously good, they’re seriously dangerous because I could easily eat these every day. They’re *that* good. Soft, rich, BUTTERY, with a satisfyingly chewy bite and crammed with real vanilla bean flavour – these chocolate-free brownies are fit for gods. Why They’re The Best Vanilla Brownies They’re super dense and…
I made this oat milk eggnog recipe last year for a dairy-free alternative to the usual lactose-heavy eggnog. But as I’m not really lactose-intolerant anymore, the real question is – would I still make this? My answer: 100%! I just LOVE this eggnog because it’s creamy, light and tastes like a big glass of Christmas.…
*THESE* roasted pepitas with chicken fat, cinnamon and cayenne are salty, crunchy, slightly hot, and so good they’re almost addictive. The chicken fat combined with the warm spices adds some nice wintery-autumn flavours that we just can’t get enough of. Plus, if you’ve got leftover chicken fat from roasting chicken bones for chicken stock, then…
If you’re interested in stepping up your gravy game for your next holiday dinner, this brown butter gravy should do the trick. The secret to this recipe is a mix of brown butter and caramelized cream which adds an extra layer of nutty brown butter flavour. The perfect gravy to drown some creamy mashed potatoes…

Okay…okay… I know what you’re probably thinking… Crispy roasted Brussel sprouts sound glorious! But with banana? Have you lost your mind, Devan? No, I haven’t lost my mind and yes Brussels with banana is a winning combination that you’ve got to try. The added sweetness from the banana and the tang from the lime balances…
It’s 2021, and a Red Kuri squash soup loaded with tons of cream and butter is just not cool anymore… Plus if you make this for Thanksgiving, there’s bound to be a vegan or two so why not make something for everyone. This squash soup was born out of my desire for a lighter, more…
If you’re thinking about buying a Cutco knife set, hold on a second because there are much better alternatives. I’ve been using kitchen knives professionally for more than 15 years and can tell you that choosing the right brand matters, even for the home cook. If you’re going to be buying an entire knife set…
