If you also decide to celebrate and end up carving pumpkins, be sure to save the seeds for roasting! They make a great snack on their own or are great for sprinkling on salads. This week we’re looking all over the globe for dinner inspiration. Live like an Italian while eating pasta e fagioli or stuffed shells while sipping a glass of Chianti. Travel down to Argentina for a steak dinner with chimichurri....
This slow cooker pulled pork recipe is inspired by the filling in those dumplings. This is one of those recipes I couldn’t stop making or eating, it’s so good! Seriously. Easy to make too. We start with big chunks of well marbled pork shoulder rubbed with Chinese 5-spice powder. Chinese 5-spice is a common spice rub for Chinese cooking. (If it’s not available at your local market, you can make your own....

They’re wonderfully soft and chewy and they keep well for several days (but you’ll probably polish them off way sooner!) I’ve always loved chewy cookies. It’s Ok if the edges are crisp, but as far as I’m concerned, the inside must be chewy, or they’re simply not worth the trouble. These almond flour cookies are a good example. Ingredients You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make these tasty cookies....
Eggs for breakfast. They’re supposed to be the best all-round choice right? No carbs, low calorie, good fats, high protein, plenty of vitamins and minerals. Sounds a million times better than the piece of jam on toast I sometimes find myself shovelling in whilst I’m trying to empty the washing machine, test Lewis on his spellings and look for the missing football sock - all at the same time! Jam on toast = bad (and hungry again 20 minutes later)....
Storage and Reheating Instructions You can store any leftover star bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. If you want to get a bit more longevity out of it, you can also store it in the fridge where it will keep for one week. If you want to reheat it, you can do so in the microwave at 30-second increments until warmed through. Dough Options...
In fact, it’s a personal secret mission of mine to teach anyone and everyone who’s remotely interested how to cook and eat artichokes. But I have to tell you, as much as we Californians love our ‘chokes, we have nothing on the Italians! Hit any farmers market in Italy in spring and you’ll find bushels of “carciofi” for sale, at a price of 10 for 1 euro! For comparison, our globe artichokes usually run $3 each around here....
Quickly bake them in the oven, then coat them in the rich sauce. They’re perfect as an appetizer but also work as a filling entree. Meatballs are wonderful. The kids love them, so naturally, I make them often. But grownups enjoy them too - they are simply fun to eat! I have quite a few meatball recipes on this website. My favorites include pork meatballs, keto meatballs, turkey meatballs, and chicken meatballs....
Jump to:📋 What do we need? 🔪 How to make this sweet and sour turkey 🍽️ What to serve it with 📺 Watch how to make it 🍲 More Asian Inspired Recipes Sweet and Sour Turkey 💬 Reviews One of my favourite cooking challenges is deciding what to do with the leftover turkey after Christmas day. I always buy a big turkey that will provide enough meat for turkey butties as well as AT LEAST one other full meal....
On the cob or off, either way. When summer has fully arrived and corn is in season, nothing beats it. A while back I had a lovely meal at Bouchon Bistro in Yountville that featured a side of corn kernels that had been slowly cooked in butter and Pernod and tossed with fresh tarragon. This is my attempt to recreate the dish and I think we’ve come pretty close! With all the fresh tarragon growing in my garden I’ve been on the lookout for recipes that would use it well....
That simple list of ingredients also lends itself to so many off-the-cuff variations that you could make another 20 cocktails that are somewhat brighter, boozier or even herbal tasting. Start with this template, though, and work from there—it’s hard to go wrong. History of a Tequila Sunrise For all of the fanciful “histories” of the tequila sunrise it is most likely a variation of the Singapore Sling. A “gin sling,” Ngiam Toon Boon’s Singapore classic combined gin, a cherry liqueur, Cointreau, and pineapple juice, with fresh lime juice and soda water....
These little fishcake bites are absolutely packed with flavour. Chilli, lemongrass, garlic, coriander, kaffir lime leaves, ginger - all the stuff that equals serious Thai flavours. They’re so simple to make - just whizz everything up in the food processer for a few seconds, and then roll your sleeves up and get your hands in there to make them into little bite-size morsels. This Thai Fish Cake Skewers recipe is largely based on a Thai Fishcake recipe I posted about this time last year....
My plan for this upcoming holiday season is thus to still bring festivities, cheer and some exciting new ideas on to your Thanksgiving table whilst being mindful of the circumstances we face in these times. So what does this mean? It means that I decided not to share a new whole roast turkey recipe this year, nor a slew of epic new Thanksgiving recipes. I chose to forego styling up and shooting a feast-laden Thanksgiving menu table as I have done in previous years....
Trying new things Our Thanksgiving yams are easy to make and provide a fresh spin on an old favorite. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday…it’s all about the food and the people. It just doesn’t get better than that, and with these Thanksgiving yams nothing is lost. They are just as comforting and even more flavorful than my old, pre-paleo favorite. Switching to a real food lifestyle has been a constant reminder that stepping out of my comfort zone and trying new things, taking some risks and being open minded often leads to some new and exciting experiences....
There are a few considerations to take into account, like real estate on your kitchen counter, how many waffles you will make at a time, ease of clean-up, and the biggest decision: thick or thin, round or square waffles. To help you choose, we put a few of our top choices to the test. We sent them home to put them through their paces. That included testing how fast they warmed up, how brown our waffles were when cooked on medium, and how well the machines clean up after....
I think I may be more excited about this sandwich than when I got 4 numbers on the lottery!! Sandwich shops definitely need to get on board with this method of making their sarnies. 3 different strips of ingredients lying across the width of one piece of bread, and another 3 strips lying across the length of another piece. Put them together, and voila - 9 little mini sandwiches:...

And as anyone who has decorated a cake (or even cookies) knows, getting it right requires skill and patience–and the right tools. Sure, you can get started with just a Lazy Susan as a cake stand and a butter knife for spreading the icing, but half the fun is in the making–so why make it harder than it has to be? You have the proper baking pans, right? Similarly, a few basic tools can make cake decorating easier and more fun, even if all you ever intend to do is bake a chocolate-iced layer cake....
These grills are among the easiest backyard cooking appliances to use, just plug them in, set your temperature, and let them do all the hard work for you. You’ll get the taste and flavor of a wood smoker along with the convenience of a gas grill. And if you’re a barbecue nerd, rest assured, pellet grills are even sanctioned in Kansas City Barbecue Society contests. Since pellet smokers plug into a standard electrical outlet, they’re great for car camping and tailgating, as they can be powered with car batteries, battery packs, or gas-powered generators....
When I do need to make a sauce or a soup or a dessert that calls for heavy cream and I am without it, I’ve come to rely on a few quick and easy substitutes. These substitutes save me a trip to the grocery store and tend to work just as well for most uses. Heavy Cream vs. Heavy Whipping Cream vs. Regular Whipping Cream Heavy cream and heavy whipping cream are identical....
