Three ingredients. 15 minutes. Boom. Homemade JAM. Yes. It’s totally possible. This cherry chia jam is unbelievably simple to make and like so many of the recipes on my website, you can make it with less than 5 ingredients. It’s a sweet and fruity jam that tastes good on just about anything (coconut yogurt, waffles, paleo bread). I know this might be a strange request but trust me… say cherry chia jam out loud right now....

And don’t worry….this Chicken Stroganoff recipe makes PLENTY of sauce!! Chicken Stroganoff Beef Stroganoff is a retro classic we’ll love forever. However, a really great Beef Stroganoff does involve taking the time to slice the beef super thinly, as well as some deftness to ensure the beef is seared to perfection yet still juicy on the inside. Chicken Stroganoff, on the other hand, requires considerably less effort. Especially when you do it my way, searing whole pieces of boneless chicken thighs not only because it means less prep (ie no chopping), but also because by cooking whole chicken thighs, you can brown them really beautifully....

What is Chicken Tikka? Is it Different from Chicken Tikka Masala? YES they are different. The word “tikka” just means small pieces and that’s about all these two dishes have in common. Chicken tikka is made up of small pieces of boneless chicken marinated in yogurt and spices and then baked on skewers. Chicken tikka masala is a curry made with small pieces of chicken in SAUCE. So in conclusion: chicken tikka = chunks of meat cooked on skewers and chicken tikka masala = chunks of meat in a creamy spiced tomato sauce (find my recipe here)....

Look away if you’re dieting: this recipe calls for not one, not two, but THREE different types of cheese. If we’re going to make this, let’s go all the way and do it right! To all the French readers out there – let me know how I did?? 😊 Croque Monsieur If there is one thing I think you can count on with the French when it comes to cooking, it’s their knack for taking things up a notch in the grand pursuit of edible bliss....

As I started writing up this recipe to tell you how good homemade custard is compared to store bought, I realised that I had never actually bought custard before. So this morning after my daily caffeine fix (shameless coffee addict here), I popped into the supermarket to buy a (small) carton. Just so I could truly describe the difference. Because it’s easy enough to say that homemade is always better....

I know it sounds too good to be true! A 2-ingredient cheesecake? I promise you, this tastes like the real deal, and it’s so easy to make. The funny thing is that this is a cheese-less cheesecake! Yup, that’s right. No cheese! No eggs in here either. Two Ingredients: Condensed Milk + Yogurt What About Non-Fat Yogurt? Since first sharing this recipe, I’ve had readers tell me they’ve been able to use non-fat yogurt successfully, but I haven’t tested this out for myself....

This is the sort of food that makes me do the happy dance. Literally. I took a massive spoonful and was jumping up and down with glee. It was everything I had hoped it would be, and more. Non foodies will find it hard to understand the elation you feel when you make something that is this good. I mean, gravy even in its most basic form (and anything you smother in gravy) is fantastic....

USE FOR big leafy salads, chopped salads, to add flavour to beans and lentils, and infuse boiled, steamed and roasted vegetables with flavour – they suck up the dressing when hot! Salad Dressing This is my recipe for a basic salad dressing that I use virtually everyday – either as it is, or as a base to add other flavourings as listed in the recipe. 1 tablespoon vinegar + 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil + 1/2 tsp Dijon Mustard + 1/2 each salt and pepper This will dress any salad for 4 people....

It’s obvious that I love cooking (and eating). When I’m not cooking, I’m probably watching a cooking show, talking about food, arguing about food, reading a cookbook or planning my next meal. Taking a wild guess, I think I might be a foodie…☺️ But as food obsessed as I am, even I don’t have the energy or time to spend hours in the kitchen for midweek meals. And while I have a keen interest in cooking, I am actually fundamentally lazy at heart …....

Garlic noodles This is yet another example of an excellent fusion Asian dish that brings together Asian and Western ingredients to create something incredibly tasty. Big garlic flavours – with a secret ingredient: parmesan. Yes, you read that right! Parmesan. Mixed with Asian sauces (oyster, fish sauce and Maggi seasoning or soy sauce) and a stack of garlic, it adds a punch of savoury flavour when it melts into the sauce....

So… the reason we had a lot of mint in the house? My hubby, Roby, decided to make a mango-mint cocktail for my recent 28th birthday celebration (Here’s a pic on my instagram of him making it. Isn’t he handsome?). Lucky for us – he overestimated the amount of mint he needed (random aside: you know what I don’t get… why mint is somewhat expensive to buy and yet supposedly super easy to grow?...

It’s Saturday 27 December, 2 days after Christmas, so I bet there are millions (billions??) of households around the world having ham for lunch. Sure, you could throw together a ham sandwich with fresh bread (yay, shops are open today!), or a frittata using other leftovers from your Christmas Day feast. Or you could do something a little different and make this chowder. 🙂 “You could make yet another grilled ham and cheese sandwich to use up all that leftover ham…....

Honey-dijon chicken = a little sweet, a little tangy, and a little spicy. It’s surprisingly flavorful given that the ingredient list is so short. There are only 7 ingredients – and if you’re not counting salt and pepper (because they really shouldn’t count), then there are only 5 ingredients. It’s a dish you can have on the table within 30 minutes. The key to making this dish is to stir-fry the chicken first – without any sauce – so that the outside of the chicken becomes a little crisp....
