Guacamole
There’s nothing better than cutting open the perfect avocado. I get so excited when my avos are perfectly ripe and the flesh is buttery. Besides using my perfect avo for an avocado toast, my other favourite thing to do is make fresh guac. It’s so flavourful and makes the best snack with some nachos.
The Best Roast Potatoes
These are crunchy and golden on the outside, but soft and fluffy on the inside. It is minimal in ingredients, but it’s the method that makes the big difference in getting that perfect roast potato. Pair it with a roast chicken and a fresh salad, and you have yourself the perfect Sunday roast.
Easy Purple Pickled Deviled Eggs
These are a showstopper but are actually really easy to make! I’ve made these the easiest version there is by using the pickle juice from a can of pickled beets. They make a great appetizer for Easter or a dinner party.
Honey Caramelised Feta Carrots
These are sweet from the honey and salty from the feta. They are perfectly tender on the inside and lightly caramelised on the outside in the pan. They are the perfect side dish!
Asian Style Fried Pork Chop
These come out crispy on the outside and super flavourful on the inside. It is juicy and has a great blend of asian flavours, making this a perfect weeknight dinner treat. You can leave the pork to marinate for an hour, but overnight is even better. Pair it with something fresh to cut through the fat, and you have yourself a perfect meal.
Chicken Mayo Tostadas with a Pineapple Tomato Salsa
These tostadas are crunchy from the base, creamy from the homemade mayonnaise, and fresh from the pineapple tomato salsa. It’s simple to make and is a great way to use leftover rotisserie chicken.
Cool Honey
While the world is obsessed with hot honey, I’m obsessed with cool honey. It is zesty, fresh, citrusy, and tangy. Drizzle it over chicken, potatoes, salads, or use it as a sweetener for your cocktails- the possibilities are endless! It is nothing less than pure perfection.
Homemade Mayonnaise
Making mayo from scratch is so much easier than you think and tastes way better than the mayonnaise on the shop shelves. If you want a mayo that is thick, tangy, and rich, then this is the recipe for you.
Fresh Apple Kale Salad
This salad is so refreshing and light. The fruit gives a perfect hit of sweetness, while the apple cider vinegar and mustard dressing bring an acidity that makes this so vibrant. It is the perfect salad for a main or as a side dish for a hot day.
Better Than Takeout Hoisin Ginger Crispy Beef
This fakeaway Asian crispy beef is sooo good! I honestly find making takeout food at home so much better because it’s way cheaper and I know exactly what is going into my food (you’d be surprised how much oil and sugar are normally in takeout meals). This recipe is easy to make and is such a crowd-pleaser.
Thai Red Curry Coconut Chicken Breasts
These chicken breasts are tender and bursting with flavour. The Thai red curry paste gives an aromatic, vibrant kick, while the coconut cream tones down the spice and keeps the chicken succulent and tender. Cooking the chicken breasts in the oven allows them to cook through without getting burnt and rubbery on the outside.
Ultimate Summer Zucchini
These are scored, pan-fried until golden, and then set in the oven to cook through. These come out so tender and so flavourful with just a few simple ingredients. A must-try for a summer side dish.
Asian Cucumber Pepper Salad
This comes together in minutes and makes such a delicious summer side salad. The miso ginger sauce makes the perfect dressing and soaks into the veg when left to marinade. It’s crunchy, salty, and refreshing.
Lemon Charred Asparagus
This is perfect for a refreshing and delicious side dish. Asparagus is one of my favourite veg and this is such a simple way to prepare them. The light charring compliments them beautifully and the lemon gives it such a vibrant, zesty flavour.
Pickled Carrots
Throw this together for a refreshing and delicious side salad or garnish. It is way easier than you think and comes together in just a few minutes. It’s a great way to use up carrots and will last in the fridge for 3-4 weeks (if you manage to not gobble them up before then!).
Lemon Garlic Leg of Lamb with Greek Potatoes
The ultimate Sunday roast- think of juicy, tender lamb that falls off the bone, and the best lemony Greek potatoes. It is so full of flavour and really simple to make. The hardest part about this recipe is finding a pan to fit your leg of lamb!
Creamy Mushroom & Bacon Pasta
I think this pasta is what made my husband fall in love with me. It has all of his favourites- mushrooms, bacon, and a cream base. This is the ultimate comfort dish and you won’t believe how much flavour is in here. It is always a crowd-pleaser and easy to make!
Meatballs with Lemon Garlic Yogurt Sauce
Packed with flavour and a great option for a weeknight dinner. This goes perfectly with my pea, beet & rocket salad. The lemon garlic yogurt sauce is so creamy and ties the whole dish together.
Beef Bone Broth
Bone broth is so nourishing and is a great way to start your morning, sipping on a warm cup of broth while soaking in some morning sun. It’s much simpler to make than you think and is full of flavour and collagen.
Zucchini Feta Crustless Quiche
A great brunch dish for your next get-together. The saltiness of the feta pairs so well with the creaminess of the eggs, and it is simple to put together. It is always a crowd-pleaser.
