Cinnamon Apple Bread I’ve been working on my Apple Pie Project (read: my perfect apple pie) and am convinced that this is the year we will crack it! But either way making apple pie is definitely a labour of love, so meanwhile I also want to share other sweet ways with apples that are faster and easier. Some favourites from my existing apple repertoire are Apple Muffins, Apple Bars, and Apple Crumble....
This easy recipe is ready in about 45 minutes. Hands-on time is just 15 minutes - the rest is chilling the treats in the fridge. There are several classic food combinations. Chocolate and peanut butter come to mind (these peanut butter bars are so good!). Chocolate and coconut is definitely another perfect combination. I first tried coconut haystacks in a small artisan chocolate shop in Lake Tahoe, California. As someone who adores both coconut and dark chocolate, it’s no surprise that I thought they were amazing....
Well it turns out the answer is yes. Quite a significant difference actually. I baked over 80 cookies for this cookie experiment - and I probably ate at least 10% of those cookies 🙂 This experiment took a fair bit of prep, and pretty much a whole day of baking. So I decided to combine it with my last week at work and get my office friends involved in this taste test as part of my goodbye....
Want the muffin version? Here it is! Cornbread recipe I don’t want to brag, but I am known for my cornbread. OK, it sounds like I’m totally bragging – but let me have just this one. Rarely do I say my recipes are the BEST version in the world! (Because who is to say one’s Chocolate Cake or one’s Meatloaf or Chili is the BEST in the world??). This cornbread regularly makes an appearance all year round for a variety of purposes....
This is a risotto that easy to make, and you do not need to stand at the stove stirring constantly. Serve it with a simple garden salad drizzled with Italian or French Dressing. A creamy prawn risotto – made easy! I have a friend who is scared of making risotto because she thinks it’s really hard. Scarred by all those Masterchef episodes where the nervous contestant presents their risotto to the judges and stands there awkwardly, sweating and shaking while the judges peer and prod at the dish before having a taste, chewing slowly with such serious looks on their faces you’d think they were trying to find a solution for World Peace....
Homemade Creamy Shrimp Pasta Salad Recipe You will love this simple summer pasta salad recipe, it is easy to put together without breaking a sweat. You only need to cook the pasta as the recipe calls for pre-cooked frozen shrimps. If you are not in a hurry, you can cook your own shrimp by boiling it in slightly salted water for few minutes until the shrimp is well cooked. Today’s recipe is a copycat of ASDA’s (in the UK, Walmart in the USA) prawn salad with my twist....

The first thing to go on the buffet table? ✔ Easy to make ahead and reheat/assemble later? ✔ Inexpensive ingredients? ✔ Flippin’ delicious? ✔ Ok, so now that’s all covered, let’s get right on with the Buffalo chicken wings recipe! Each wing is chopped into the two pieces, dried thoroughly with kitchen towels (to ensure they don’t absorb too much baking powder) then mixed in a bowl with baking powder (it HAS to be baking powder, NOT baking soda), salt and pepper....
They are absolutely not a compromise! They are wonderfully crispy and very flavorful. These crab cakes are amazing. They are crispy, delicious, and very filling. My entire family loves them, so I make them quite often. They’re so good, in fact, that I often serve them as a main dish rather than as an appetizer. They don’t contain any breadcrumbs. Instead of those, I use almond flour. The result is marvelous - just as crispy and tasty as traditional recipes....

I love to pack this meal full of crunchy veg like green beans, mange tout, peppers and beansprouts because - I’m not kidding - all of them taste fantastic in this sauce. Add in whatever veg you have in the fridge - broccoli, thin-sliced carrots, courgette, asparagus, just throw it all in and you’ll get your five-a-day without even noticing. You can even swap around the meat - reduce the simmering time by 20 minutes and go for thin sliced steak or chicken, or simply leave out the meat entirely and go completely veggie....
It’s one of those simple-yet-fabulous recipes! It’s ready in about 25 minutes, and it goes well with countless main dishes. I love carrots. 🥕I enjoy them raw, dipped in ranch dressing, or in a Greek yogurt dip. They make a great snack. It’s convenient that a big bag of fresh carrots keeps in the fridge for several weeks when properly stored. I also like them cooked, and steaming is, by far, my favorite way of enjoying them....
This post was created in collaboration with Grana Padano and Prosciutto di San Daniele. Oh my gosh, I’ve eaten so many cakes and treats this month, and it’s still two weeks until Christmas! Time to dial it back a bit, but without missing out on tasty meals of course (yeah, put those rice crackers away please). Thin slices of fennel - which is a totally underrated veg in my opinion - gives a lovely crunch and a tiny bit of heat to this salad....
Briefly marinated in an olive oil mixture, then quickly grilled, it’s the perfect cut for meat lovers! While I enjoy tender cuts of beef such as fillet mignon, ribeye, or New York Strip, I find that the intense beefy flavor of some of the tougher cuts is sometimes even more pleasing. I love grilling a skirt steak because it’s easy and stress-free. As long as you marinate it (just briefly), then cook it quickly over high heat, you’ll be rewarded with meat that might be a bit on the chewy side, but is very, very flavorful....
Homemade Mango Ice Cream You won’t believe it until you try it. This really is a creamy ice cream made without an ice cream machine. Regular readers know one of my big gripes is pretty photos of food for so so recipes. And my other gripe is watching cooking shows where the host is serenely scooping a perfect ball of ice cream and popping it in a cone when in actual fact, it’s a frozen solid mass, and if you leave it out to soften, it just turns into a puddle of liquid....

This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! How to cook steak – the cheffy way!
