For those days when you’re too lazy to make pie. (fyi… this is pretty much every day for me) The mission to make these Banana Cream Pie Cookies was simple: I wanted Banana Cream Pie but didn’t want to make Banana Cream Pie. I can be lazy like that. In […]
Is it Rocca? Rocket? Roquette? Arugula? Has any green ever had so many names? I’m calling this Rocca Salad. That’s what they call it in the middle east and since I used sumac in this dressing (it is the BEST dressing!!) I’m in keeping with the theme. Plus, it’s the […]
…with an insanely delicious Buttery Brown Sugar Banana Nut Crunch topping These Banana and Carrot Muffins taste like banana bread and carrot cake had a baby. A very, very delicious baby. I’ll tell you what takes these scrumptious muffins completely over the top, and it’s not what you think. It’s […]
Spicy Cast Iron Skillet Shakshuka AKA the breakfast I was scared of and now love so very much… Yep. Shakshuka has always been one of those foods that scared me. A food I thought there was no way at all I’d like. And, well, heck. I was wrong. What I […]
Hoooooooly yuminess these are so good!! Magic Bars but make them Easter by topping them with Cadbury Mini Eggs. Then switch out all the other goodies with almonds, almond extract and chopped up Marzipan. Who else buys giant bags of Mini Eggs as soon as they hit the stores and […]
Because brown butter isn’t just for desserts ok? It’s also for salads, for pasta, for rice bowls, for popcorn, for sauces… I just really like it ok? Especially in this Sumac dressing… Pearl couscous is the best couscous as far as I’m concerned, and when you mix it with almonds, […]
I can’t believe I’m going to say this but… This Ricotta Cake actually doesn’t need frosting. And you know how much I love frosting. It has a crunchy sugar and almond topping that goes so perfectly with the insanely soft and moist texture of the cake. Anything almond flavored always […]
Creamy, rich sesame sauce in five minutes. I don’t know what this Goma Dressing wouldn’t be good on and if someone doesn’t keep an eye on me there’s a good chance I’m going to sit and eat the whole bowl of it with a spoon, which would be kind of […]
With dark chocolate cake with the fluffiest Chocolate Orange Cream Cheese Frosting This Chocolate Orange Cake. This cake is a sign of my growth and maturity as a human being. It took me until, well, now, to figure out that I like chocolate and orange together. And I mean really […]
Not gonna lie. This was all about the name for me. I mean… Dragon Chicken? How cool does that sound? Dragons are cool guys. I almost ran out to buy a blonde wig to channel my inner Daenerys to make this. Almost. But I was too hungry. I live in […]
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.
