Dec 17, 2013, Updated Jul 04, 2023 The thing is, I don’t really like the flavour of molasses in sweets (in baked beans, and in bbq sauce, yes. YES!). I just find it a bit overpowering in a cookie. I recently saw a ginger cookie paired with white chocolate, and I thought, hmm… that could really work. Molasses carries bitter notes, and white chocolate is pretty tooth-achingly sweet. Molasses, meet white chocolate....

Piccata gets its name from the Italian word meaning “to pound.” A traditional chicken piccata is served with thinly pounded slices of meat that are coated in flour. Here, I take all the same flavors and sauce as a classic chicken or fish piccata. But, I swap out pounded meat with ground chicken to create a picatta-inspired chicken meatball recipe. This recipe is so quick and easy; I know you’re going to love it!...

A grown-up, tastier and healthier version than the store-bought stuff! Most of the time, a firm and meaty white fish like cod or halibut is the obvious choice....

We all know we have Austria to thank for the delightful idea of apple strudel....
I enjoy cooking and baking with produce that is in-season, since it is better for the environment, and often fresher than buying groceries that are out-of-season. So, these muffins are one of my favorite ways to use readily-available blueberries throughout the summer. Anyways, what better way to get kids to enjoy fruit than through a delicious baked good! The lemon zest enhances the fresh taste of the blueberries, and together they are a match made in heaven....
Every so often, I get a chance to share a recipe from a new book in my library. Today’s recipe is from Jenny Rosenstrach’s cookbook The Weekday Vegetarians with 100 recipes and a real-life plan for eating less meat. While I do eat and enjoy meat, I incorporate several vegetarian meals each week as part of my Mediterranean lifestyle, so this book is right up my alley! It was hard to select just one recipe to share with you today, but this rustic, savory galette recipe (or tart) ultimately won....

Who doesn’t love a good biryani? I love to make chicken biryani, mutton biryani, and shrimp biryani but my husband is vegetarian, so we also love to frequently make egg biryani and vegetable biryani for family dinners. Trust me, this egg biryani is just as flavorful as the meat biryanis. Hard-boiled eggs are cooked in a spicy masala gravy, then layered with rice and cooked to perfection. Enjoy it with a cooling raita and mirchi ka salan....

Most people who are familiar with shakshuka only think of it as the popular North African breakfast–eggs poached in a sauce of fresh tomatoes, peppers and a number of Middle Eastern spices. But to the people of Port Said and Alexandria, Egypt’s Mediterranean cities, shakshuka is more of a cooking method than in it is a specific dish. There, they also have saucy seafood and fish shakshuka dinners. The spices I use in this fish fillet recipe are slightly different from what’s in the egg dish; still, the fish fillets are cooked similarly in the spicy fresh tomato sauce, shakshuka-style....

Pin Ever since I started the blog, I wanted to give icecreams a try but was a bit scared of the outcome without a icecream maker. While I was googling I found the concept of froyos(frozen yogurt) sure an healthy alternate to icecreams and instantly wanted to try it. I didnt have a icecream scooper when I made this so that justifies the not so pretty looking scoops :O But still the recipe and pics are my personal favourite....

Jan 16, 2018, Updated Mar 01, 2023 This lentil and kale soup has been our lunch for the past week. We don’t do any major food-related resolutions in January, but we do tend to circle back to a few vegetarian meals each week. The soup is brothy, so feels light, but full of hearty lentils and vegetables, so it really sticks to the ribs. The secret to building a flavourful vegetarian soup is starting with a generous glug of oil (the fat is what actually carries the flavour) and seasoning at every step, not just the end....
