The crostini is just a suggestion, but trust me… it’s insanely good. Tomato Garlic Confit. Cherry tomatoes (or grape tomatoes or any other small-ish tomatoes) and whole garlic cloves cook slowly in a rich olive oil bath and transform into a sweet, savoury, buttery dish of irresistible deliciousness. Honestly, what […]
My favourite non-salad salad. Ohhhhhhh man… This Warm Potato Bacon Salad… Roasted potatoes tossed with thick-cut salty bacon, peppery green arugula and topped with a creamy parmesan dressing. It begs the question… Is a salad still a salad if it’s swimming in a rich, creamy dressing loaded with sour cream, […]
Not your average banana nut muffins. Butter Pecan Banana Muffins. Now, I’m sure you’d love to be tucking into a pint of rich, creamy butter pecan ice cream right now – and I would too – but it’s morning people. This is breakfast. Get it together. You can have that […]
Let me say that one more time… Brown Butter Vinaigrette. Arugula Pear Salad. Sounds not too shabby just as it is right? But now imagine adding toasted hazelnuts, tangy goat cheese, and oh heck, let’s say it one more time for fun… Brown Butter Vinaigrette!! Welcome to salad heaven friends… […]
Who else’s Mom used to make Impossible pie? This Brown Butter & Bourbon Impossible Pie is not your Mama’s recipe. It’s not my Mama’s either. Impossible pie is an old-school recipe and I bet you’re wondering just what it is that makes it impossible? Allow me to explain… Impossible Pie […]
Because the vegetarians need dipping tacos too! Ok. Vegetarian Birria Tacos. Who doesn’t love Birria Tacos? Crispy, cheesy tacos dipped into a rich, tasty consommé, and usually stuffed with slow cooked beef. Ahhh…. the answer is… vegetarians don’t usually love them. They never get the chance to try them because […]
The easiest and yummiest fancy-not-fancy dish you’ll ever make. Cast Iron Chicken Parmesan. One skillet. Incredibly easy. Insanely delicious. It’s your new best friend. Crispy, juicy, boneless chicken thighs. Rich, tasty marinara sauce. A ridiculous and possibly obscene amount of stretchy, melty mozzarella cheese. And did you hear me say […]
Or as I like to call it – “Fall in a Bowl” This Kale Apple Salad has it all. You probably know by now that I need my salads to not be boring and this one is anything but. It’s hearty and it’s bright. It’s tart, salty, sweet and a […]
Like really good apple pie filling but healthier and without having to make pie 😉 This Air Fried Apples recipe is the thing that saved me from having to make an actual apple pie this year while still feeling like I satisfied everyone’s apple pie craving. Warm, spiced apples coated […]
There’s really no such thing as too much flavour is there? Take this Beef Stew with Mushrooms & Miso… succulent, tender beef bathing in thick, rich red wine and beef broth gravy accompanied by sweet carrots, savoury onions and earthy mushrooms. It’s a flavour explosion. As complex as these flavours […]
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.
