Why are certain cheeses stretchy? I’ve no idea, but a quick google search reveals that cheeses with a lower acidity and higher moisture content are more likely to be stretchy ones. I’ve always gone straight in with the mozzarella when looking for a stretchy cheese. However, I find mozzarella - especially when cooked - to be a bit flavourless. So I tend to mix it with strong cheddar. That’s exactly what i’ve done with these cheese stuffed breads....

You should be able to feed 5 or 6 people out of this - or 4 in our case with leftovers for THE BEST lunch. I love a bit of one pot cooking (I’ve got a whole section of the blog devoted to them in my One Pot Section). Such satisfaction in throwing things in a pan at different stages and ending up with a lovely dinner. It’s not one of those pretend one-pot cooking recipes, where you have to cook a few bits, then scrape into a bowl and cook the next bit in the same pan - thereby needlessly dirtying a bowl....

Do you like your curry hot? I like a hot curry every now and then, but not so hot you can’t taste the flavours and you’re sweating at the table! This curry can be made as hot as you like. We’re using madras hot curry powder for the heat, but you can add in more heat with fresh chillies, or less heat by swapping out the madras powder for regular medium or mild curry powder....

We all know I’ve got a big appetite. A regular bowl of soup isn’t going to do it for me. Rather than fill up on bread or sandwiches to go with it though, I like to make my soups hearty and filling! If you take a look, you’ll see that most of my soup recipes have lots of toppings or are ultra loaded with chunky, filling ingredients. No-one likes a hangry Nicky, hunting around the house for a snack 10 minutes after lunch, so this is definitely the better option....

The tasty sauce is made with soy sauce, garlic, honey, and sriracha. The entire dish is ready in about 30 minutes. The best thing about stir-frys is how quick they cook, and how wonderfully crisp the vegetables are. The combination of a succulent protein component, crisp veggies, and a flavorful sauce is simply wonderful. This chicken vegetable stir-fry is one of the Chinese-style dishes I make most often for my family....

Sometimes it’s so pleasant to find yourself sat in front of a lovely breakfast like this that you have to say hi. Or maybe that’s just me. I’m starting to get quite a few granola recipes under my belt, considering I only really discovered granola less than a year ago. I started off with a sugar free version - for those days when i’m feeling virtuous. I soon upped the naughtiness just a little with my regular macaroon and fresh raspberry macaroon versions....

Oh man, you wouldn’t believe how quickly this cheesecake was demolished by out little family of four. It’s quite a rich dessert, so I think you could easily get 12 servings out of it. I made it on a Friday and it was gone by Saturday night. A slice after tea, a slice with a cup of tea, a slice in front of the TV later……. It’s no wonder I seem to spend two weeks of any month putting on five pounds, and the other two weeks losing them again!...

You simply coat the chicken pieces with a mixture of olive oil and spices, then bake them for about 40 minutes. So juicy! Anyone who has kids knows that they love drumsticks. And anyone who has kids also knows that when the kids like something, the grownups find themselves eating that something over and over again. 🙄 It’s OK. You make sacrifices as a parent. But your food needn’t be one of them!...

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....

Keeps perfectly for days, serve it as is, stuff into soft rolls or wraps, crispy burrito style! Crustless Quiche If you were to drop round on any given day, there’d likely be some version of crustless quiche in my fridge. This, along with Baked Frittata, are two of my most used fridge clean out recipes because they’re both terrific quick dump-and-bake recipes. This does take 30 minutes or so to bake....

The idea of healthy eating Let me find you some healthy dinner recipes that are fast to make, budget-friendly, and utterly delicious. These 21+ recipes are healthy, some are meatless but they are packed full of flavors and quick to make too. With all that is happening around the world right now, many of us have found comfort through food and we do not seem to bother about what goes into our mouths as long as we love it....

You will love the simplicity of this nutty brown fish sauce and your palate will thank you for it. Restaurant quality dish served in the comfort of your home Easy lemon butter sauce recipe You may be wondering why you need lemon butter sauce for fish dishes, well the simple answer is that it elevates the flavours of the fish. Whitefish (fillet or loins) can be quite bland especially when not cooked correctly....

Flatbread recipe I love fresh homemade bread. And though I bake bread with yeast more frequently nowadays, I still find it easier and a general preference to make bread without yeast. Maximum taste, most tasty outcome with minimum effort – but without compromising on the end result. That’s my ultimate goal and the ethos that underpins every recipe I share here on RecipeTin Eats. Over the years, I have tried a lot of flatbread recipes....

When I entertain, I typically put out an antipasto or mezze spread as a starter. I love cheese, but when I’m hosting for 20 people I can’t really afford to provide a spread of French bries and Buffalo Mozzarella. But I also feel like I need to do better than slapping down a block of tasty cheese. So I often serve up this Feta Marinated with Herbs and Chilli which is really cost effective, looks so fresh and pretty and tastes fantastic....

Fish cakes Fish cakes make a refreshing change from the usual pan-seared methods that I typically default to when it comes to fish recipes. It’s also a good way to make less fish go further because the fish is mixed with some kind of padding starch – potato in this case. 500g / 1lb fish used in these fish patties will comfortably feed 4 adults, if not 5, compared to a standard serving size for a piece of fish is 180g / 6oz per person....

If you hate having to sit through other peoples holiday photos, then look away now, because this is a total snap fest. But….. It’s also a great guide if you’re planning a trip to New York. Chris and I are obsessive planners when it comes to travel. We know how to relax on lazy holidays, but if we’re going somewhere with a lot see and do, those Excel spreadsheets, Tripadvisor reviews, custom google maps with a million pins, and full-on tick-able checklists are coming out....

German Potato Salad This is a German Potato Salad of the style that has evolved in English-speaking countries, based on traditional warm potato salads brought by German immigrants. So it’s not strictly authentic, but still bears German influences like the dressing style, bacon and dill. More importantly though, this kind of salad is just delicious regardless and boasts a very firm foothold in the potato salad world! (Outside of Germany, that is....

Serve this Greek Lemon Rice with your favourite Greek food like Greek Chicken, Gyros Chicken, Greek Meatballs or Souvlaki! Greek Lemon Rice recipe I made this Lemon Rice Pilaf as a side for a Greek Feast that I shared in my Chicken Souvlaki recipe. And I promise, it is so good, you honestly will want to eat it straight from the pot. The reason this is not just “another flavoured rice” is because it’s made as a pilaf....

They are well-seasoned, mildly spicy, creamy, and delicious! And since they’re ready in just 20 minutes, it’s easy to whip them up anytime. I make these eggs with Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. This substitution works very well - they are wonderfully creamy and delicious. In fact, they are one of my favorite keto appetizers. Deviled eggs are amazing. It’s like magic - simply removing the yolks and mixing them with something creamy plus a few spices transforms the humble hard-boiled egg into a true delicacy....
