because if dinner doesn’t have at least three textures, I’m not interested. If there’s one thing I want in my food, it’s crunch (chewy is a close second, but that’s another conversation). I’ve made enough rice bowls over the years to know that the difference between a good one and […]

These Pistachio White Chocolate Cookies are a literal dream. They are buttery and chewy with crispy edges and are loaded with the absolutely heavenly combination of sweet creamy white chocolate and fragrant pistachios.

I’d rather not say I’ve been living under a rock, but apparently, I’ve been living under a rock. Instead of mashing these bananas with a fork like I always do (like an idiot, apparently), I just threw them in the mixer and that wonderful guy mashed them up in a […]
Always wanted to know how to make Strawberry Tanghulu ? This crunchy, crackly candied treat is so fun, so good, and actually easy to make. Tanghulu Strawberries are crunchy candied strawberries… juicy, ripe strawberries are covered in a crunchy candy shell… and they are just magic. How could that not […]
There are cookies… and then there are cookies that feel like a seasonal event. These Mini Egg Cookies are the second kind. Soft, impossibly chewy centres, lightly crisp edges, big chunks of crunchy chocolate mini eggs in every bite. I perfected these through a lot of quality control and it […]
Welcome to my site! I'm a self-taught, home cook who pretty much lives in the kitchen. Or with my nose in a cookbook. Cooking is my passion, my obsession, my very favourite thing. I make a lot of really good comfort food with creative twists and bolder flavours. My food is slightly elevated but isn't too fussy. I'm not here to teach you how to cook, I'm here to inspire you, to show you something new and really, really good. And to make you hungry. In my home, in The Pypers Kitchen, this is what we eat.
