Well, they kind of make for the ultimate banana bread. The resulting quick bread is rich with peanut butter and banana flavor, bits of semi-sweet chocolate, and a dense but not heavy crumb....

I nabbed this recipe from my friend Heidi H’s recipe collection one day because it looked intriguing. What a keeper! Lots of flavor and in the time it takes you to cook the rice, the dish will be done.

As a Cuban by way of Panama and now New York City, my childhood Thanksgivings with my mother and older sister were always a mix of my Latin and American upbringing. In addition to jiggly canned cranberry sauce which was more ceremonial than edible and green bean casserole (an American dish I adore), we had congri (rice with black beans), mojo (roasted pork), and pulpeta. Pulpeta is a fried Cuban meatloaf — but it’s also so much more than that....
The third and final Thanksgiving recipe from a Sassy Lady from the South whose recipes are starring in the 2016 Thanksgiving Special here on RecipeTin Eats. Wow. This Pumpkin Cake was a HUGE hit with my taste testers! Pumpkin cake isn’t common in Australia, so I was particularly keen to hear what my taste testers thought of it.

The honey-dijon dressing is the perfect mix of sweet & savoury with a tiny bit of heat that makes every mouthful so moreish....

The fennel and orange slices add brightness to the chicken thighs, which are themselves rubbed with garlic and herbs. However, before we go any further, let’s address the elephant in the room—not everyone is a fan of fennel’s flavors of licorice and anise. Don’t Fear the Fennel Yes, licorice can be overwhelming at times, but the taste of fresh fennel isn’t nearly as strong and unpalatable as in the dark candies you used to get from your grandma....
You just need to be patient - it takes a bit longer compared to fresh, but it’s still ready in about an hour. I’m so very grateful for frozen vegetables! Produce is always a bit of a struggle, isn’t it? You try to buy enough to last you about a week, no waste, no spoilage. But despite your best intentions, fresh produce doesn’t always last for the entire week. That’s when frozen vegetables swoop in and save the day!...
Roasted Pumpkin Side Dish The really good thing about this dish is its sheer simplicity, that it’s something a little different but the flavour has universal appeal. I mean, roasted pumpkin is already a good thing. But you’ll love it even more with a creamy garlicky-lemony yogurt sauce casually drizzled over it. Add pine nuts for texture a dash of of the exotic – and boom! People are always impressed. And then you can trot out that line we cooks love to casually say to guests, “Oh, it’s just a little something I threw together quickly……” (Don’t tell me I’m the only one around here immature enough to still get a thrill out of saying that!...

“We almost went under when the beer taxes changed,” Bee Mead maker Anton Balog said. “I don’t want to dwell on those dark times. But we had to explore other options, and that’s when we started making sparkling Mead.” Those words. Gosh, they hit home. They will be familiar words to any business owner. Have I ever told you how RecipeTin Eats was born? Well, I dedicated almost a year of my life creating an iPhone/iPad recipe organiser app called RecipeTin App (i....

My cooking philosophy is to use fresh, seasonal ingredients and alter them as little as possible so that its flavor shines through. This recipe does just that—it celebrates in-season eggplant by cooking it simply and with few ingredients and not a lot of oil. To Salt or Not to Salt Eggplants Eggplants are notorious for soaking up cooking oil due to their sponge-like texture. So the question is whether or not to salt them—a technique that draws out the moisture and renders the eggplant less sponge-like....

Thanksgiving is quickly approaching, and dreams of cranberry sauce, pie, and turkey are dancing through our heads. Thanksgiving is the feast of all feasts, a time for family gatherings, a chance to rest and recharge, and what’s not to love about that? We know that the thought of a large Thanksgiving meal can be daunting, stressful, and, well…the opposite of restful. However, it doesn’t have to be that way. Has anyone else ever felt pressured to roast a whole turkey just for tradition’s sake?...
