published Jul 04, 2022 If you’re familiar with North African cuisine, you’ve likely heard of chermoula already! Sometimes referred to as charmoula, this special blend of preserved lemon, fresh herbs and spices adds a flavorful punch to whatever you add it to. You can sometimes find a dry rub version of it in supermarkets, but (as usual) I prefer it homemade! It’s much more authentic and has quickly become a staple in my kitchen....
There’s nothing quite like baking with fresh, seasonal fruit, like this Summer Berry Tart! I don’t have the same love for baking that I do for cooking, although I love homemade bakes. Still, there is something irresistible about baking with sweet, fresh, in-season fruit! This means that I can’t help but bake a cake when I come across fresh fruit in the summer. Which is how this lovely Cherry and Apricot Cake was born!...
For the first week of Blogging marathon, I chose to do regional cuisine from a specific state. I am from Tamil Nadu, but have never ventured deep into the marvelous Tamil cuisine.

This cuisine is a very famous for its use of spices and their aromatic masala mixes....

Super Soft Chocolate Protein Bars Say hello to these soft, gooey and fudgy chocolate protein bars which are currently my new favorite dessert!

Chicken Tetrazzini! We’re doing a throwback today with the creamiest, coziest noodle bake known to man. I’m not one to make a lot of casseroles.

For the third day of the Blogging marathon with the theme ‘Pick one and make three’, I chose to make a very famous Indian dessert Gajar ka halwa or carrot halwa. After moving to Southern India we did not find this carrot too often and my mother used to make it with the regular orange-colored carrots. Although the taste is not compromised by using either of the carrots, the color does make the dish more appealing to the eyes....

Hand me a napkin, please. Let’s get messy today with loads of yummy grated parmesan and ohhh yeah, GARLIC. Yeah, you down?

For more festive recipes for your holiday table, visit our Thanksgiving and Christmas Collections. I am not going to lie it took me years to be convinced that cooking a turkey breast or a turkey crown, as it is known in the UK, is enough for my Thanksgiving table. I felt like I would miss the drama of the whole turkey and knew I’d miss the dark meat. I was wrong!...
That is some serious flavor right there! We’re talking about chicken marinated in a honey chipotle mixture that’s slightly sweet, smoky, with a hint of spice, and nothing short of flavorful. It also happens to be one of the best things you can meal prep because it tastes better as it sits. We’ll start by marinating the chicken and letting it hang out. This recipe is perfect to make on an outdoor grill in the summertime and equally delicious made on an indoor grill pan when you’re living in a tundra in the middle of winter....

Homemade Chocolate Bars – Dark or “Milk” I’m no stranger to making vegan versions of my favorite treats, like Bounty bars, Snickers, gummy bears, and white chocolate. And while it’s fairly easy to purchase dairy-free dark chocolate, avoiding additives (waxes, artificial ingredients, preservatives, palm oil, etc.) becomes pricey. Meanwhile, finding good dairy-free milk chocolate is still a struggle in some places – which is where this homemade chocolate recipe comes in....
