Pavlova, if you are not familiar with it, is a meringue cake named after the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlove. It’s especially popular in Australia and New Zealand as well as in the U.K. It’s a deliciously sweet and feathery light confection, often filled with whipped cream and fresh berries – and in our case, chocolate! Here is how it works: First, make a meringue – just whip egg whites with sugar, it’s not rocket science!...
I’m a Yankee, after all, and taking on the venerated Southern buttermilk biscuit felt a little risky. The Best Biscuits? Ask a Southern Chef That’s why I enlisted my friend Kurt, who’s from Georgia, to help. I thought maybe his mom would know a trick or two, but it turns out his Southern mom makes biscuits from a can. She, like many moms, resorted to the occasional shortcut to feed a family of big, hungry men!...
How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookies with Coconut These cookies are a great combination of soft and chewy, like a cross between macaroons and chocolate chip cookies. The recipe calls for shredded unsweetened coconut, so the coconut flavor shines through and isn’t masked by too much sweetness. (I used the product from Bob’s Red Mill.) I like to use a large cookie scoop (like this one) to portion these cookies onto the baking sheet....
Coconut Rice Truly fluffy coconut rice eluded me for years. I felt like I tried every variation possible, but when I lifted the lid, I’d stare at dismay at a layer of coconut fat scum on the surface of the rice which ended up coating all the grains when I fluffed the rice. Finally, I feel like I’ve cracked the secret code. And every since then, I’ve never looked back....

It’s a traditional Irish mashed potato dish with lots of greens. If there’s a heaven for kale, it’s this, mixed in with mashed potatoes and butter. Colcannon cakes, sort of an Irish version of potato latkes, are what you make with leftover colcannon. The only thing is, colcannon is so good, who has leftovers? So, you may just have to make a new batch to make these cakes. Or just make twice as much colcannon as you think you might need, just so you have enough to make these cakes....
What Makes a Southern Cornbread The thing that distinguishes Southern cornbread from, say Yankee cornbread, or any other cornbread one is likely to eat outside of the southern states, is that it is savory, not sweet, and it is made mostly with cornmeal. Northern cornbreads tend to be more cake-like, on the sweet side, with a finer crumb due to more flour in the mixture. Southern cornbread is flavored with bacon grease, and cooked in a cast iron skillet, a perfect side for barbecues, or chili....
I had a particularly good meal at a local restaurant recently that served grilled chicken with a side of couscous that had been tossed with some toasted pistachios and a little harissa. I ate every last semolina granule on my plate. Inspired, we made our own version, with pistachios and some chopped dried apricots, red onions, lemon juice, and parsley. So good! Especially with grilled chicken. It would be good with a Moroccan chicken tagine too....
I can still remember making a face when thinking I was biting into a yummy potato in one of my mother’s stews I had speared a turnip instead. Yet this dish is another proof point that almost all things taste better with butter and cream! You may want to tie the spices into a sachet or cheesecloth bag — this makes it easier to remove them later. Boil turnips until tender, 15 to 20 minutes, then drain and remove the spices....
Polenta is a dish common in Italy, consisting of boiled, coarsely ground cornmeal. Originally, it was made of other grains as well. It is often confused with or compared to grits. Grits are made with a more finely ground, white corn, called hominy and is common to the southern United States. Polenta is often eaten hot, like a really thick soup or cereal. It is also cooled and solidified so it can be sliced and fried....
I think I’m going to have to put a new category on the blog for Asian recipes. They seem to be taking over! I’ve always had a love for Asian food, and it doesn’t half save a bit of cash when you’ve got a couple of recipes in your back pocket to whip up instead of an expensive takeaway. This recipe was inspired by Chris’s all time favourite - Crispy Chilli Beef with Broccoli....
A Ground Turkey Recipe Inspired by Aloo Keema Brainstorming ideas for something that would use ground turkey, potatoes, and onions the other day, we were inspired by a classical Indian dish called “Aloo Keema”. It’s made with minced meat (most often chicken, beef, or lamb), potatoes, and Indian spices like garam masala and turmeric. Our ground turkey version was delightful, warmly spicy and satisfying. It made for great leftovers, too. Feel free to play around with the spices....

Thank you so much for this question! And first, have you seen the cookbook Cool Beans? It’s been on my nightstand for the past week, and I have a hunch you might like it! But onto your question: I was a vegetarian for over a decade, and cooked my fair share of beans. There are two reasons people typically soak them: to speed up the cook time and to aid with digestion....
Simply pan-fry some peppers and onions, then sauté some chicken, mix everything together and serve! I make chicken recipes fairly often for my family, so I’m always on the lookout for ways to make chicken a bit more interesting. One way to do that is to find inspiration in different cuisines and their amazing seasonings. The seasonings in these easy chicken fajitas definitely spice things up! This is one of my favorite weeknight dinners....
Chinese Honey Sesame Chicken isn’t huge in Australia. In fact, I rarely see it on Chinese restaurant menus. My first experience was at a hotel buffet (don’t judge me!) in New York. Then in Vegas. (Ok, judge me!) To this day, I remain perplexed why Honey Sesame Chicken hasn’t made it to our shores. Along with Kung Pao Chicken, which still isn’t huge here though I have seen it on the odd menu in Chinatown....

The exact measurements are included in the recipe card below....
These are both toasted sandwiches made with ham and cheese – “croque” roughly translates as “crunch” or “crunchy.” The difference between a Croque-Monsieur and a Croque-Madame is that the Madame is served with a fried egg on top. Supposedly the yolk surrounded by the rim of white resembles a woman’s hat! The sandwich is traditionally topped with a béchamel sauce and then the fried egg, but I’ve stopped making them with béchamel....

Let’s not beat around the bush: Italians have the corner on the market when it comes creating something amazing from only a few good ingredients. Panna cotta literally means “cooked cream,” and that’s about all it is!
