This tasty dish is ready in just 20 minutes. You can serve it as is or on top of spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles. This easy shrimp recipe is ready super fast, and its flavor combination is incredibly fresh and flavorful. This is one of my favorite weeknight dinners, and also one of my favorite ways to prepare shrimp. (Another excellent one is baked shrimp). Butter, garlic, white wine, and lemon juice combine into a delicate-yet-flavorful sauce that perfectly complements the mild flavor of shrimp....

Extra fluffy is the go here, and the secret is vinegar. You can’t taste it, but it activates the rising agent to give the pancakes extra lift. And don’t forget, blueberries are good for you! Extra fluffy Blueberry Pancakes – worth waking up for! Slightly crispy edges. Golden surfaces. Soft and fluffy on the inside, soaked through with maple syrup and melted butter. And that moment when you bite into a warm blueberry and it bursts in your mouth… It’s just a little bit of food heaven right there....

Have fun and fool the whole family with this dinner. I have fond memories of my own mother making fun meals like this for us. I’ve made a video to go along with it. Be sure to check it out as it has extra tips and is a great visual for how to pull off this tricky meal. It’s easy to make, of course, but it sure will trick people!...

You hear it before you see it: the sound of someone’s laugh being drowned out by ice hitting a cold glass. The hot hiss of food hitting the grill, the scrape of a peel taking homemade pizza out of a wood-burning oven. You see long tables stretched out lazily in the sun-spattered yard, pockets of seating areas asking to be filled. Tucked in the corner, you’ll find a small pool, its glassy exterior waiting to be disrupted....

(Just kidding!) Growing up in a family of six kids, we are all rather competitive eaters. Basically, whoever finishes first gets seconds. And you’re going to want to have seconds of these garlic mashed potatoes. How to Make the Best Garlic Mashed Potatoes Use Yukon Gold potatoes, which will make the mashed potatoes extra creamy, beyond what you get from the recipe’s butter and cream. Yukon Golds are simply the best potato for creamy mashed potatoes....

Mashed white beans. A great accidental discovery! The first time I made a variation of it was when I was making a bruschetta platter (being a spread with a pile of toasted garlicky bread and bowls of various bruschetta toppings for guests to help themselves). Then one day I had a serious urge for a pile of mash to accompany a fish dinner but simply didn’t have the energy to peel, cut, boil and mash potatoes so I reached for a can of cannellini beans instead – and wonders of wonders, it was sensational!...

This super easy fish dish has a bit of Asian flair to it. Orange adds a citrus zing to the darker flavors of soy sauce and the spice o the ginger. It’s a classic combination. The glaze couldn’t possibly get any easier. Just mix it together in a bowl and pour it over the fish. Now that’s my kind of dinner! What other types of fish can I use? I love the flavor of mahi mahi!...

This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! Greek Chicken Gyros recipe It’s been ages since I made this Greek Chicken Gyros. But the minute the chicken hit the grill, all I could think was “why don’t I make this more often??” The smell is incredible. You can REALLY smell garlic and oregano. You know how sometimes you add herbs into things and you can’t really taste it?...

This is a cookbook exclusive recipe! This recipe is exclusive to my debut cookbook Dinner which includes a how-to video for every recipe. Just scan the QR code! Just to explain…. I know, it’s confusing! You’re so used to getting recipes on my website – there’s over 1,200 of them, after all. And here you are looking at a tasty recipe video and I haven’t provided the recipe. 🙀 I’m not just doing this to torture you, I promise....

Nachos are irresistible. We’re all in agreement here right? We go to a fabulous Mexican restaurant, looking forward to all of the delights on offer, but it’s almost impossible to resist the nachos! Then we eat all of those nachos, and we’re too full to enjoy the juicy steak, spicy rice, 3 other sides that would be a shame not to try, and the bite of oversized-burrito from my husband’s plate that we know he won’t mind us nicking…....

I mentioned in my hot toddy recipe that I have a version of this hot drink without any alcohol and it’s safe to give to my children. Honey and lemon tea is hardly a recipe but it is highly effective for a cold, cough or even sore throat. Today’s post is by no means discouraging you from treating common cold with medicine. If you are in the UK, you would agree with me that you get sent home empty-handed 90% of the time when you go to the hospital or your GP with cold....

I guess they’re just that versatile. Also good for evening snacks, brunch, and the time you’re making a cup of tea and they’re right next to the cups - so a nibble of the corner ends up being a whole one. I LOVE easter baking. I’m not as fussed about making Easter cakes and sweet treats (it almost seems pointless when you can just eat crunchy Easter chocolate straight from the fridge - my favourite), but I’m all about the breakfast/brunch bread treats like these hot cross buns, my chocolate orange version, raspberry and almond-stuffed croissants or these savoury ham and cheese croissants....

Contemplating a waffle maker of your own? Maybe you have one, but only haul it out a few times a year. Either way, stick around! I’m sharing tips on how to get the most out of your waffle maker: which ones we like, how to make cleanup a snap, and waffle hacks worth knowing. Types of Waffle Makers Why are waffles great? Surface area. The more crevices a waffle has, the more crispy-crunchy pockets to hold maximum syrup – or whipped cream, or sauce, or whatever you dream of drenching it with!...

Whatever glaze you use, you can sprinkle the whole lattice pie top with some sanding or turbinado sugar. It adds sparkle and crunch to the baked pie. How Do You Keep Your Lattice Pie Crust from Burning? You want that beautifully browned pie crust, but the edges of the pie may brown faster than the rest of the pie. You can buy a pie shield, but it’s easy to make your own from aluminum foil....

Why Steaming Hard Boiled Eggs Make Them Easy To Peel Some of the air from the hot steam permeates the egg shell making the egg more easy to peel. Video! How to Steam Hard Boiled Eggs Now I love my tried and true method for cooking hard boiled eggs, mostly because I can space out on the timer and the eggs will still turn out fine, not green and overcooked. But sometimes they’re hard to peel....

Save yourself some coins from coffee shops by making this cold drink cheaper at home without compromising on flavours and taste. A great alternative to coffee or regular tea. Homemade iced matcha latte recipe I only recently started drinking matcha tea, and I haven’t been disappointed. It is a good pick me up on a summer day or any other days just like my popular iced coffee recipe. It can be made hot if that is what you are in to....
