My kitchen looks like a cookie bomb went off and I have been baking up a storm lately....

Moroccan lamb backstrap This platter of food you see in this post is my idea of a perfect meal for sharing with family and friends for special occasions. It’s a bit special, being that lamb backstrap is a tender, lean cut with delicate lamb flavour. It tastes exotic and sounds exotic (“it’s a ras el hanout spice mix, darling!”). But it’s made with spices I always have. It’s quick to cook....

And here you are looking at a tasty recipe video and I haven’t provided the recipe. 🙀 I’m not just doing this to torture you, I promise....

This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! Quinoa Salad I’m not going to lie to you. Put me in front of a salad bar, and you won’t see me pause for a beat in front of any option containing quinoa. It’s not that I dislike quinoa as such. In fact, when cooked well (psst, toasting it certainly elevates it to loftier heights!), I’ll happily scoff it down plain, just like I do rice....

Nando’s Chicken Copycat – and exciting news!! A few months ago, I got an email that I never dreamed of receiving. {Abbreviated} “Hi Nagi.

Don’t underestimate a homemade patty melt! This is no average sandwich- it’s crispy bread filled to the brim with a homemade patty and LOTS of cheese.

Warm, cold, pressed, or so big you can barely stuff them in your mouth- I love them all!...

“The sight of the peanut butter and chocolate oozing out of the cake makes me weak in the knees.” I don’t bake sweet things much. So when I do share a dessert recipe, you can be assured of two things: It’s really easy; and It is worth the effort to make. This lava cake knocks it out of the park on both counts. I used to see photos of lava cakes in gourmet magazines and just assume it was too hard....

Slow cookers are good for so many reasons, but my favorite reason is how easy they make making a full meal....

This pork is a combination of sweet and spicy and the pork just shreds apart and melts in your mouth! When I was growing up we didn’t have soda or caffeine in our house. I am sure I just made all of the Diet Coke addicts gasp! 🙂 So still to this day I will take a lemonade or water any day over soda. Soda just doesn’t quench your thirst and makes your throat burn and your eyes water....
