I originally published this recipe in 2012 and have since added new photos and easier-to-understand instructions. After making these no-bake bars for the 100th time, I decided it was time to revamp this post. While so much has changed in the last decade, the recipe for these incredibly irresistible bars has stood the test of time. Made from pantry staples like oats, coconut oil, peanut butter, maple syrup, and chocolate chips, and textured with crisp rice cereal, crunchy nuts, and chewy plump raisins… I swear there must be some Willy Wonka magic in these bars to turn such simple ingredients into something that tastes like a candy bar....

Bitesize food is THE BEST! I love making it and I love eating it. I think it stems from my love of party food. One of these days I’m going to cook them all in one day, and scoff the lot!

Salted caramel cheesecake bites Chocolate raspberry bites Blackberry spice muffin bites Apple pie truffles Cheesy potato croquettes Mini Burritos Mini burgers...

Most of the pachadi recipes you will find on my blog are simple and straightforward with minimal ingredients. The key is to use farm fresh vegetables and good quality ingredients. 1 Heat 2 tsps oil in a vessel, add cumin seeds, let them splutter. Add the green chillis (remove the stalks) and fry for 3-4 mts. Remove from heat and cool. In the same pan, add a tsp of oil add the urad dal and saute till the dal turns red....

I nearly always order Pad Thai when we go to a Thai restaurant. I love those tangy noodles and big prawns, and being someone who LOVES toppings, a Pad Thai is probably the most toppings-heavy item on the menu.We’re usually talking crushed peanuts, fresh coriander, wedges of lime, fresh chillies and maybe a sprinkling of dried chillies too. Just give me all the toppings. What is Pad Thai? Originating from Thailand, Pad thai (also called phad thai), is a popular street food dish of stir-fried flat rice noodles....

I am sharing how to make a restaurant-style Punjabi Palak Paneer recipe in the Instant Pot and Stovetop. Palak paneer is one of our favorite paneer recipes filled with the goodness of spinach (palak). It works perfectly as an everyday meal or even a special party dish. This dhaba-style palak paneer is easy to make at home as a one-pot meal in the Instant Pot (pressure cooker) or the traditional way on the stovetop....

I originally published this recipe in 2017 and have since added new photos and a few more success tips. You’re looking at one of my very favorite summertime cakes. I’ve been making this every July and August for several years now, and made 2 small updates to the recipe to improve the cake’s texture. (Honestly, it was pretty perfect before, but these small changes are extraordinary.) I added baking soda to help lift the crumb a bit more, and swapped milk for sour cream to introduce tender moisture....

Last November while on the book tour, I visited the wonderful folk at Honey and Co. who also hosted my book dinner.

I originally published this recipe in 2014 and have since added new photos and a few more success tips. If the end of summer has a silver lining, it’s that September marks the start of the Fall Baking Season. And when the weather begins to cool down, I always enjoy baking a batch of seasonal cookies. We have plenty of recipes to choose from and I have even more in my cookie cookbook!...

Talk about a meal in a bowl. This Rich and Creamy Zuppa Toscana has got pan-fried chunks of sausage, tender pieces of potato and juicy green kale, enrobed in a rich, creamy broth and topped with crisp, salty bacon bits. There is nothing not to love about this soup! I made this last week and have been thinking about it ever since. Now I’m not going to say that this is an Olive Garden copycat Zuppa Toscana recipe....

“Veg kurma”, the very mention of the word conjures up warm memories of delicious aromas emanating from my aunt’s kitchen. Those special dishes she cooked to celebrate special occasions remain etched in my heart and soul. One such vegetarian fare of her’s is the popular Tamil Nadu Hotel Saravana Bhavan kurma recipe. I have diligently copied one of the best kurma recipes in my handwritten treasured recipe notebook. During her stay at Tirupati, she employed a Tamil speaking maid whose husband was a cook at Hotel Saravana Bhavan kitchen....

This is the kind of comfort food that everyone loves on a cold autumn evening. I’m already planning on making it again for Bonfire night! Easy to prepare, tastes amazing, and doesn’t take anywhere near as long to make as a regular casserole. I first made this recipe a few years ago when our kitchen had been ripped out for renovation and I had a little fold-out table and a one-plate plug-in electric hob to work with....

This recipe was sponsored by Le Rustique I think I’m more addicted to pasta than chocolate. I know – that doesn’t sound like something I’d say at all! But chocolate, I can pretty much save for the weekends. Pasta I NEED at least a few times a week. You can’t beat a good pasta bake. I have a few on the blog – like this cheesy pasta bake with chicken and bacon, or this creamy tuna pasta bake....

Asparagus and peas prove the old adage: what grows together, goes together. This is the perfect side dish for spring! There’s a useful adage: what grows together goes together. In other words, if fruits and vegetables grow in the same season and region, they’ll taste great together. Think tomatoes and basil, strawberries and rhubarb, bananas and coconut and — in this case — asparagus and peas. Plus, I always think combining vegetables in a side dish dresses them up and makes them so much more interesting....

Or if you don’t want to serve up these scalloped potatoes as a side dish, make it the main event with a few little additions. I’m using chunks of leftover baked ham, buttery fried onions and 3 different cheeses. It’s carblicious, ultra cream and cheesy, and probably a million calories (I’ll work it out and include in the recipe card), but who cares when it tastes this good? We start by frying up slices of onion in a pan (1) with butter, garlic, salt, pepper and a little garlic salt....

This recipe is part of my annual holiday cookie countdown called Sally’s Cookie Palooza! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen the word “wedges” while putting this recipe together. But it’s been so many times that I’ve accidentally typed “shortbread wedgies” at least twice now. Anyway, let me tell you about these shortbread WEDGES! These are my perfect shortbread wedge cookies flavored virtually however you’d like, baked in a cake pan, and cut into triangles/wedges....

Anytime I decide to make a beef stew after the month of March you can guarantee that by the time I set it on the table the sun will be blazing outside. The birds will be singing, neighbours will be mowing their lawns, and Chris will be either looking pointedly at the barbecue, or rolling his eyeballs at me. Just like the days you actually remember to take your new sunglasses out and it rains all day....
