The best way to make Instant Pot Basmati Rice is actually NOT with the rice button on your Instant Pot. And I know you REALLY wanted to use that handy little button from the moment you first bought your brand-new pressure cooker… But I’m afraid using the rice function on your machine yields pretty average…
If you grew up loving Dr. Seuss as a kid then you’ve probably wondered at some point in your life if it’s actually possible to make green eggs and ham at home. But the real question is not how do you make green eggs but how do you make a very green spinach purée. In…
What’s the secret to a great mac and cheese sauce, you ask? Loads and loads of shredded cheese. But who likes grating buckets full of cheese through the ol’ box grater? Not me! And that’s why I’m happy to share with you this mega-fast, cheese-shredding-free mac and cheese sauce recipe. Not only that, this quick…
Valentine’s day? Date night? Or just feelin’ fancy? This stuffed chicken leg should do the trick. Stuffed chicken legs can be intimidating for the home cook, but fear not as I’m about to walk you through it, step by step, picture by picture. The bacon in this dish adds a ton of flavour and also…
This is no quick and easy, 5-minute short rib chili recipe. No. This is my recipe to completely knock it out of the park, grand-slam, best-chili-you’ve-ever-had-in-your-life. Even with the time-saving instant pot this recipe still takes quite a bit of time. Although once you taste this unctuous, fork-tender, flavour-packed chili, everything will make sense. So…
I actually prefer this vegan Nutella to the original (and I’m not even lactose-intolerant anymore!) As I have a weakness for ANYTHING chocolate, this chocolate hazelnut spread really hits the spot with an even more intense chocolatey flavour than the original. Store-bought Nutella is usually cut with milk, cream, emulsifiers, preservatives and/or palm oil to…
These vegan “Ferrero Rocher” chocolate truffles make an easy but impressive Valentine’s day gift. The best part? You don’t have to be a pastry chef to make them! They can be made the same day with just a few hours needed to cool them. Why You Need to Try These Probably the best thing about…
You’ve probably seen a lot of recipes for keto pasta using some form of cheese and almond flour combination. And while I applaud the creativity of these recipes, they’re still a long shot from the real thing. That’s why I couldn’t be more excited to share with you this ridiculously easy, two-ingredient keto pasta that…
I’ll admit… when I first heard about the Korean corn dog I didn’t imagine it would be much better than the original. They also didn’t look like something you could easily make at home (I saw even more crazy versions of these corn dogs wrapped in noodles and cooked potatoes). But as we’ve recently acquired…
I love this vegan chocolate mousse because I feel great after I eat it. The secret is avocados which may seem strange, but they add an unexpected richness to the dish. The best part is this recipe can be made in less than 10 minutes and doesn’t require any cooking. Easier, Faster and Healthier Vegan…
If you ask a chef “how do you know when sausages are ready?” you’ll most likely receive a sarcastic response of “when they’re done”. But what if you haven’t cooked thousands of sausages in your lifetime like many chefs? Is there an easy way to know when sausages are ready? The easiest, simplest and most…
I learned to love sauteed rainbow chard even more while working in Paris. There it was called blette de couleur, and the bunches we received from Terroir D’Avenir are still to this day some of the best quality I’ve ever tasted. The chard always seemed to roll around in the spring when the leaves were…
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…
I LOVE making this dish because it’s made with minimal ingredients typically found in my fridge, it’s insanely delicious and it’s super QUICK to prepare. If you push for it, you can have this on the table in under 20 minutes. I’m happy to have this one in my recipe repertoire for those dangerous days…
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, chilli, lemon and salt…
