I like to BAKE my tacos to crisp the shells and melt the cheese before piling on the fresh toppings. Because melted cheese wins over unmelted cheese every day! Totally un-authentic Beef Taco Recipe! You will never find ground beef / mince tacos in Mexico. Authentic beef tacos are either sliced seared steaks (like Carne Asada), or marinated beef chopped into thin strips that are pan fried to get golden crispy edges (taqueria style), or slow-cooked and shredded into sauce like this Shredded Beef Mexican Beef and Beef Barbacoa....

Banana bread. The graveyard of brown bananas. Wow, I really shouldn’t be given a job trying to entice people to read recipes. Oh wait. Doh. Ok, let’s try that again. Tender, fluffy banana bread topped with caramelized bananas and crunchy hazelnuts. Yeah, that’s probably a bit more like it. I love a slice of banana bread with a cup of coffee. My oaty chocolate chip banana bread is my usual go-to, but this is next stage banana bread....

Flavour packed everyday Burrito recipe! Having a stash of burritos in the freezer makes me feel smug. Along with homemade Frozen Pizzas, these are one of the all time ultimate freezer meals. Except burritos have the added bonus that you don’t even need to dirty a tray to reheat them, or a plate to eat them. Food you can eat with your hands always rates highly in my world!!! 😂 I call this Beef Burrito recipe an “everyday beef burrito” because beef filling aside, it’s a terrific one for adding in what you have and what you want....

Make this for dinner tonight, work tomorrow, or a leisurely weekend lunch with friends! Quick Chicken Salad If you’ve got the time, or are wanting to impress with an entirely “from scratch” main course size salad, I’d point you in the direction of one of these: San Fran Chicken Salad – my best, most impressive chicken salad. With Yogurt Ranch Dressing, snow pea shoots, fennel, pickled red onion and orange, it’s a copycat of a popular dish at Souvla, a trendy bistro in San Francisco; Mexican Chicken Salad – my second most involved chicken salad....

In fact, if you are not cooking salmon in the air fryer then the other fastest way to get it from the kitchen to the table is to cook it under a broiler (grill). Let me show you how to make this quick fish recipe for dinner in easy steps. Broiling salmon is a great way to get that perfect sear on the outside while keeping the inside nice and moist....

More importantly, I have rounded up about 15 of the best-frozen food you can cook in your air fryer from chicken wings to mozzarella cheese and lots more. These recipes are perfect for when time is of the essence or you just fancy cooking some frozen food and why not? What is an air fryer An air fryer is a device that uses hot air to cook food (think of it as a compact conventional oven)....

I like to wedge chunks of cheese in the batter so you get lovely pockets of cheese and the lovely textured crust on top. But you could just mix it through – even faster to prepare!! A terrific no yeast bread recipe I don’t often bake with yeast because it requires patience for the dough to rise. Oh, and the kneading. I’ve actually got reasonable upper body strength. My challenge is my height....

Griddled chicken on a bed of crunchy vegetable strips, with fine noodles (you don’t need too many to bulk this dish out so that it’s filling enough for dinner) and a creamy chilli lime dressing with flecked with fresh coriander. This is the type of dinner I go to 100% of the time, on those occasions when I’m trying to be good, but I’m craving something tasty and filling. It’s the perfect remedy when you’re almost ready to throw in the towel and cook up a great big pie (like this one!...

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....

Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Sauce for Chicken Sun dried tomatoes don’t feature as much anymore as they should. Back in the 80’s they were ALL THE RAGE! But they never went out of fashion in my world. Throw a small amount into almost any meal and you get a wonderful burst of extra flavour. I use them to make a super quick 12 Minutes Sun Dried Tomato Couscous Salad, in creamy chicken pasta, I stuff ’em inside chicken breast and Chicken Meatloaf and I use then for pasta salads....

A sweet, impressive crowd pleasing dessert option – and just 47 CALORIES per piece! Chocolate Covered Strawberries How many times have you slaved away on a dessert only to find that: people are too full to have more than a tiny slice; friends who declare they’re on a diet (and we all know that January is all about NYE resolutions to be healthier!); or doesn’t suit certain dietary requirements?...

Today is the day after Thanksgiving and America is in a food coma. Can you imagine how many millions of pounds of turkey was consumed yesterday? A number I can’t comprehend! Though many Americans may be considering a) how to burn off Thanksgiving excess calories b) what to do with Thanksgiving Leftovers, those of us in the rest of the world are already focussed on another important matter: How to be the most popular person at any gathering for the upcoming holiday seasons....

It makes the perfect summertime lunch, and it’s also very easy to make! Leftovers are great too. Cold soups are a lifesaver in the summer, when you just can’t bring yourself to heat up the oven or cook over a hot stove. This avocado soup is delicious and so refreshing. While the concept may seem unusual, it actually makes sense that this particular fruit would work well in a soup - after all, it’s wonderfully creamy and flavorful....

This is a collection of recipes where the children (depending on their age) can do 90% on their own or with minimal help. We always recommend supervising your kids in the kitchen. These are fantastic for the kids to bake and if you watch the video it’s actually our eldest Gracey. No flour needed and a great way to use up some old bananas. Gracey and Lewis teamed up and followed this recipe and made us a fantastic spag bol a few weeks ago....

I worked in a fried chicken shop for 5 years when I was at high school and college, so I know my crispy chicken tenders! Back then, most of the chicken was chopped in store on a bandsaw, but sometimes, when the cut stuff was running low, we had to get the cleaver out. Yep, a 15-year old, with a cleaver, trying not to cut any fingers off. We also had a massive old pressure cooker, a burger grill that literally spat out flames (those burgers tasted amazing though) and more than a few interesting/scary customers....

It’s as simple as can be - brush the fish with olive oil, season it, then broil for just 4 minutes. The fish comes out so delicious and perfectly cooked! Whenever I want to make something quick for dinner, I default to one of my trusted salmon recipes. I always have frozen salmon fillets on hand. All I need to do is remember to defrost them the night before. Although even if I forget, I can simply use them frozen in most recipes and cook the fish a little longer....

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....

Are you ready to be amazed how easy it is to make Focaccia? It’s virtually foolproof! About this Focaccia recipe Focaccia – that dimpled, flat–shaped Italian bread generously flavoured with olive oil – is found all over Italy and varies from place to place. I was torn with indecision about what type of focaccia to share, but eventually landed on this particularly well-known type called focaccia barese from Southern Italy....

Serve along with your favorite roasts at Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and Sunday dinners. Learn how to make the best gravy without meat juices I am sure you will be pleased to know that you can make a simple and delicious gravy without pan drippings. I am happy too as this flavourful sauce is so good and doesn’t cost an arm or a leg to make. This gravy is different from the most you have probably tried as it requires an extra step of boiling fresh mushroom for its stock....
