Now this is what I call vegetarian food for carnivores. They’re so good, it was almost enough to persuade me to buy that deep-fat-fryer that Chris wants us to get. The lure of creamy, crispy delicious fried foods is calling me, with a little ‘no don’t do it’ voice coming from the healthy part of my brain that loves the smoothies and the soups. I think a fryer may well drag me away from my ‘everything in moderation’ motto, and over to deep frying anything-and-everything (I can see myself now, frying up Mars bars like I’ve heard they do in Scotland)....

I’m so excited to bring my dark chocolate raspberry coffee cake back into the spotlight! Originally published a few years ago and one of my favorite recipes, this breakfast cake has been a Christmas morning tradition for over a decade. Whoever is hosting, we have a large Christmas brunch after spending the morning opening gifts. We sip coffee and snack on this fabulous cake to tide us over. Gift opening takes longer these days with a toddler, so we’re especially hungry as we unwrap....

What Makes This Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Chicken So Dang Good? If it’s one thing I love, it’s bacon and wrapping everything in bacon. Bacon is one of those ingredients that can be added to a dish and it always seems to make it better. Of course, not all dishes, but pretty close. This Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Chicken recipe is no different. They quickly moved to the next level when I decided to wrap them in bacon....

Rhubarb can be a little bit of a love/hate thing. It’s quite possible you were served green snot-looking, stewed rhubarb for school dinners if you’re in the hate team. I don’t blame you. That stuff still makes me shudder. But don’t rule out rhubarb forever. Delicately roasted, vibrantly pink rhubarb with a sprinkling of sugar is a whole different ball game. Serve up simply with a glug of thick cream, or maybe as part of a crumble (one of my grandad’s signature awesome puds) or serve it with something savoury....

In this post, sharing how to make egg-free cutout sugar cookies and three easy ways to frost them using eggless sugar cookie icing. Step by Step Method I prefer using my kitchen aid stand mixer to make the cookie dough but this can also be done using a hand mixer or a bowl and whisk (will need more elbow grease). They are really easy to make, need basic ingredients and the frosting is super easy too....

My first recommendation would be The Black Sea by Caroline Eden (Quadrille Books) who also wrote Samarkand. This is a gorgeous book with recipes and both her prose and photos will transport you write to a new world. The cover is brilliant, it movs just like the sea depending on the ambient light. The Half and Half Manti and the Sacred Onion Soup have caught my eye. The second book is Carbs by Laura Goodman (Quadrille Books)....

What is Salsa? Salsa translates to sauce. It is a condiment served with chips, nachos, tacos, and probably every Mexican treat we enjoy. The salsa is made with tomatoes, onions, peppers, and chilies. These salsas are flavored with fresh ingredients, by adding cilantro, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, peaches, mangoes, pineapple, etc. I like to make spicy salsas to go with my nachos and tacos. They not only add vibrant colors to the plate but also is so refreshing to eat....

I love to grow potatoes every year, but I always plant too many and end up overloaded with potatoes. Fortunately we love them, and we’ve got plenty of potato recipes on the blog. This is one I’ve been serving up over summer when we have a barbecue, and also as a side dish for curry night!

Can I classify this Greek Potato Hash as a salad? It looks a little salady (real word?) – after all there’re some green bits in there…. This is my ‘its-getting-warm-enough-for-salad-but-I-still-want-carbs’ salad. So good when you want something filling and tasty without being too stodgy. I actually eat this all year round, especially with BBQs and with meaty Greek dishes like crispy pork gyros or this Greek lamb traybake. Eaten on its own, straight out of the pan for lunch is perfectly acceptable too....

Think of this dish as a cross between baked polenta, a quiche, and a frittata. Inspired by a recipe from Diana Henry’s lovely cookbook From the Oven to the Table: Simple Dishes That Look After Themselves, this recipe is based on a Greek dish called kourkouto, a simple and savory “pie” that replaces the phyllo dough in a traditional phyllo pie with a batter made from eggs, cheese, Greek yogurt, and cornmeal....

Nachos are irresistible. We’re all in agreement here right? We go to a fabulous Mexican restaurant, looking forward to all of the delights on offer, but it’s almost impossible to resist the nachos! Then we eat all of those nachos, and we’re too full to enjoy the juicy steak, spicy rice, 3 other sides that would be a shame not to try, and the bite of oversized-burrito from my husband’s plate that we know he won’t mind us nicking…....

Bring together 1 chopped apple, 1 peeled and chopped cucumber, fistful of boiled fresh green peas, 1 grated carrot, 1/4 cup paneer cubes (sauteed in a tsp of oil for 2-3 mts), salt and pepper to taste, 1/2 tbsp honey, 1 1/2 tbsps coarsely ground roasted peanuts. Toss well. Add any fruit of your choice. Monday high raw food diet ~ Morning: 6.15 am – Glass of luke warm lemon water Breakfast: 7....

Let me take a moment to let it all sink in. This past March, I came to a quick realization. I was making enough money from my food blog to pay all my bills. And working 9-5, I was really struggling to balance it all. I was cranky, tired, and drained. Spreading myself too thin between both jobs. I began to think about what it would actually be like to quit my full time job and concentrate on growing my blog....

It took me a long time to figure out how to cook the perfect steak, consistently well, every time.I’ve served up many overcooked, chewy steaks in our early dating days! For something that seems so simple, there are lots of variables, which can be confusing! Now I’ve got great steak cooking under my belt, I’ve come up a no-fail, step-by-step plan, covering each of those variables, so you can be confident in the kitchen to cook beautiful, juicy steak....

I am obsessed with spices. Not in a freaky kind of way. Okay maybe in a freaky kind of way. Spice mixes, especially freshly made spice mixes can make all the difference between a dish tasting mediocre, and a dish making your taste buds absolutely sing with joy. It’s hard to find spices in the store, ready to go, that are as good as the spice mixes at home. Ground spices just don’t last very long....

After writing my cookbook, Sally’s Candy Addiction, I was inspired to make these pumpkin spice truffles. Included in the cookbook (and here on my site) is a recipe for pumpkin spice toffee. It’s chewy, buttery, and perfectly spiced—and I knew the fall flavors would be just as amazing in truffle form. Today’s truffle recipe is one of my all-time favorites and after one bite, you’ll taste why. Why You’ll Love These Pumpkin Spice Truffles Simple to prepare Smooth and creamy inside Bursting with warm, cozy flavors—you can use homemade pumpkin pie spice here!...

I always used to be scared of creating beautiful decorations with frosting—it’s extremely intimidating. Do you feel the same way? Bored with my usual swirl and knife-swiped frosting looks, I began playing around with different piping tips. Once I started, I realized how easy it was. And, as I started becoming more familiar with piping designs, my confidence shot up. (When you get a little more confident, try piping sunflower cupcakes....
