These aren’t your regular suet dumplings, these are super easy, muffin-style dumplings that are a little lighter, and full of flavour. They top the tasty chicken and veggie-packed stew, making a whole meal, without the need for any sides. **Although I did notice that I’ve photographed it with bread ha ha. I can’t help it, bread and stew look nice together. I totally ate the bread too. You could also call this recipe a chicken cobbler....

Yeah, this cake. It’s a bit over the top isn’t it. Even though I’ve been at this blogging thing for over 3 years now, I’ve never actually made a proper layer cake for the blog. Chris made one (his infamous rainbow cake with vimto buttercream and fizzy rainbow belt), but not me! This one came about because I’d been testing a recipe for Neff, and I ended up with three sponges leftover....
I had a fair bit of buttermilk left in the fridge after experimenting with the Creamy Chilli Lime Dressing from my Chicken Noodle Salad post. I almost made a pile of scones, but knew we were heading for a trip to Cornwall soon; where we’d no doubt have at least a few Cornish cream teas (mmmm fruit scone with jam and clotted cream) and the same argument we always have on how ‘scone’ is pronounced....
Today we’re taking a pie hiatus (pie-atus?!) from dessert with these cranberry brie puff pastry tarts. Pies and tarts shouldn’t be limited to dessert—that’s why we can enjoy recipes like quiche, cheesy vegetable tart, and chicken pot pie. Today’s personal-sized tartlets are perfect as an appetizer before the main meal, or offered on a tray at a cocktail party. They’d also be a fun sweet-savory addition to your dessert table full of Thanksgiving pies....

I may just have to declare this as the best use for leftover turkey!! (also declared the best thing ever by Lewis and Gracey. That’s it. Nothing else beats it.) We’ve got 13 people coming for Christmas dinner, and I was worried I wouldn’t have enough turkey left over to eat: At least 3 turkey butties (with President butter (that’s our special Christmas butter), mayo, a pinch of salt, stuffing and cranberry sauce, on soft white bread....
My s’mores chocolate mousse inspired me to play around in the kitchen the other week. I’ve always loved chocolate mousse, back to my childhood when my mom served it as an easy (yet totally elegant) dessert on the holiday table. Chocolate mousse is simple divinity in its own right, but when paired with chocolate cake, it’s downright decadent. I made this chocolate mousse cake for my husband Kevin’s birthday. This cake basically demands a huge gathering because—trust me—you don’t want to be left alone with its temptation....
Here’s a confession: I’ve always avoided lattice pies on the blog because honestly, it is easier to show how to weave the framework versus writing how to do it. I hope the large panel of photos below makes it a bit easier to see the weaving. Your basically draping a few strips of pastry in one direction and then you keep alternating and folding the other strips over each other....
Comfort food means different things to everyone, I get a little baffled when people ask me to name my favorite. For one, I have a favorite comfort food for each meal of the day, my choices also vary by season and my favorites will vary and if that isn’t crazy enough, sometimes I want to pick my favorite comfort food by geography. But despite this overwhelming web of complexity that I create for myself, it would be easier for me to pick my favorite comfort ingredients....

My best advice to you is to go ahead and make a double batch. The recipe is simple. You need hard pretzels, spices, oil, a bowl or zipped-top bag, and an oven. That’s it. And if you’re making these for other people, you will also need some willpower. I like to use Snyders large pretzels. Any large, crunchy pretzels that look like this when broken up will be fine. Don’t use thinner pretzels because they don’t hold onto the spices like these....

Do you need that little something extra for your desserts? And are you tired of vanilla buttercream all the time? Cream cheese frosting is my #1 favorite frosting for cakes, cupcakes, quick breads, and more. In fact, it’s the most common frosting used in my kitchen. I use it on everything from spice cake and carrot cake cupcakes to banana cake, red velvet cake, pumpkin cake, and more. It’s smooth, creamy, and spreads onto baked goods with ease....
I originally published this recipe in 2014 and have since added new photos, a video tutorial, and more success tips. I’ve also made a few small updates to the recipe so the cookies aren’t nearly as crumbly and the peanut butter flavor shines. These changes are reflected in the printable recipe below. The combination of peanut butter and chocolate is pretty hard to beat, and I’m not even bothered if I’m getting the fix from a spoonful of peanut butter with chocolate chips dotted on top....
Food Photography Introduction There are hundreds of thousands of resources for learning how to improve your food photography. Photos are the bread and butter of my blog. I like to think of them as the strategic “selling point” to my recipes. I can only say so much about a brownie being fudgy. I want to SHOW you how fudgy it is. And to be honest, not many readers read the text of the blog....
This recipe is very straightforward and doesn’t require too much effort. That’s what I love about fried rice, it’s adaptable, and you can take full advantage of it using ingredients in your kitchen. The most important tip when making fried rice is to use day-old boiled rice. The starch in the rice needs to get a chance to change its molecular structure to produce that crispy delicious fried rice texture that we’ve all come to love....
My Christmas baking experience is getting exciting and I love the aroma that fills my home during my baking sessions. My current obsession is shortbread and my most favorite to date are fruit and nut shortbread cookies. The most easy cookies to make – just slice and bake. The good thing about this shortbread recipe is its versatility where you can play around with different flavors and add ons like dried fruits, nuts, zest or espresso....
