Roasted Masala Potatoes
There’s a chill in the air. It’s raining again and this has been the coldest spring since 1962. So now I’m not sure what to cook. Or wear. I keep going back and forth between dinner salads and light, spring-like dishes and Chili con Carne and other hearty stews. And between t-shirts, skirts, flip-flops and long sleeves or even sweaters. I’m confused! But that’s a natural state for me. My…
Ridiculously Good Roasted Carrots
Looking down on this colourful bunch of carrots I picked up during my last market stroll, while munching on a big bag of French fries drowned in mayonnaise and peanut sauce, I still had no idea where this recipe would take me. I had a vague plan. Oh yes, I did: I was going to turn them into something with a slight Indonesian twist: sweet, fragrant and flavourful, yet still…
Gnocchi & Tomato Bake
I’ve never been a gnocchi fan. There. I’ve said it. In all honesty: I think it’s the most boring food in the world. But my son, well, the kid loves all things even remotely related to Italian food. If it as much as looks Italian, he’ll eat it. Gnocchi isn’t something I’d want to make myself. Granted, home-made does taste somewhat better, but I still find it boring. So now…
Byron With a Twist
These potatoes are a ‘quick’ variation to the more classic French Pommes de Terre Byron. I’ll post the original recipe as well, but simply had to start with these. They still take a bit of work, but mainly it’s oven-time. The first few words I muttered after taking a bite of these was: “What are these and how come I don’t have this recipe yet?“. You see, this amazing side dish…
Sweetheart Cabbage Mash
Cabbage, I really like it but find it hard to come up with recipes that actually highlight it. Then I ran into a recipe, tweaked the heck out of it, and bingo: instant cabbage love. This one really works for us. Even though it’s not as pretty as some of my other dishes, the flavour is phenomenal plus; it’s cheap and fast to get on the table. It’s a simple…
Simple Oven-Baked Carrots
Christmas is just around the corner, so let me share my favourite carrot recipe with you. No matter how experienced a cook you are, for a stress-free Christmas—or any kind of holiday, really—you need recipes that are simple, reliable and that most people (especially kids) will like. This is one of them. It’s about as basic as it gets: carrots, garlic and onion. If you combine those, add some butter,…
