Shrimp Gnocchi in Pomodoro sauce might sound extra fancy and taste that way too, but I assure you, it’s an easy and filling meal to make that’s loaded with veggies, tender and pillowy soft gnocchi, paired with sweet shrimp. It’s something I like to refer to as end-of-summer comfort food! It may not have cooled down in Texas as much as I had hoped it would by now, but that doesn’t mean I’m not making comforting meals that will transition us right into fall....
I can slurp down many hot bowls of pineapple rasam because of how complex the flavor is. The initial flavor of the rasam is a subtle sweet and sour taste imparted from the pineapple. The second layer of flavoring tingles the back of your throat with a deep and peppery finish. The combo of the sweet and sour will make your heart pitter patter in excitement. One of my favorite parts is getting a chunk of pineapple from the pot and eating it with fresh basmati rice....
Today I’m bringing on another round of homemade comfort food, loaded into a bowl over a fluffy cloud of creamy mashed potatoes. My homemade beef tips are a family favorite. When things are going a hundred miles per hour over here on weeknights, I need to get dinner on the table without having to babysit it. So I make a round of beef tips with mushroom gravy and serve it over a bed of fluffy, garlicky mashed potatoes and somehow, with every bite the troubles of the day slowly dissipate....

Persian frittata (kuku sabzi) is a meat-free riff that leaves out the potato making it light as air. This exotic green dream is heavy with herbs and studded with pomegranate seeds, serve with flatbread. Smoked salmon frittata I’m not sure you can ever have enough frittata recipes!

Sesame shrimp flavoured with garlic, ginger and chillies, then cooked quickly with crunchy snow peas, baby corn and bean sprouts. It’s quicker than ordering a takeout! For more Chinese recipes, check out my Chinese Chicken Curry. We don’t do takeouts too often around here and when we do, it’s always Indian. This is mostly because curry has become Britain’s national dish and out of 200 + takeout restaurants available in our area 150 of them are Indian and Nepalese....
published Dec 20, 2021, updated Sep 03, 2024 What makes Asian short ribs so unique, addictive, and downright delicious? Two things: tender, melt-in-your-mouth beef and a thick, spicy sauce. The key to the meat’s tenderness is the “low and slow” cooking method. As for the sauce, I make use of a handful of the ingredients I find most essential for Asian cooking: Chinese five spice, ginger, chili paste, and black bean sauce....

This Russian soup goes so well with our Rye Bread! Just as we are ready to say goodbye to the summer it makes a surprise come back. I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise as it happens every September! To make the season last a little longer we went to our local farmers’ market to get the last of the summer’s bounty. One of our unexpected finds was sorrel, fresh herb that looks a bit like spinach but tastes nothing like it!...

Serve this creamy mash with my juicy Meat Patties in Mushroom Sauce. A couple of weeks ago I was commissioned to develop recipes for a vegetable guide for a freelance job. The vegetables I was given were the worst kind or so I thought. Leeks, Celeriac, Beetroot and Swede or, as the latter known in the US, rutabaga. I love vegetables but let’s be honest, some of them are just not appealing in any way you look at them, and I was asked to work with that kind!...

Silky smooth and melty – that’s the only way I want to imagine my bowl of gooey cheese. And that’s exactly how today’s green chile queso dip is going to turn out. My Texas-inspired green chili queso dip is something I’ve been working on for quite some time.

Fluffy, Moist, and Tender French Vegan Apple Cake I’ve yet to come across a meal that can’t be made better with tender cinnamon apples like apple baked oats at breakfast, apple cinnamon rolls at brunch, caramel apple cheesecake for dessert, or this simple, super moist and tender, French-style vegan apple cake any time. It’s warmly spiced, lightly infused with rum flavor, and loaded with tender apple in every bite.
