HOMEMADE Falafel Wraps… with Tahini Yogurt Garlic Sauce. Oh. Em. Gee. I know they’re Falafel Wraps, but if I’m completely honest with you, these delicious little falafels barely made it to the wraps. I was quite happy devouring them straight out of the oil, dunked in this sauce… this sauce […]
Because I was craving S&P squid but I’m scared to cook squid. Seriously. Yes, I know how ridiculous that sounds. This super crispy restaurant style Salt and Pepper Chicken Recipe is even better than takeout. Why? Because there’s no transit time for it to cool off and lose some of […]
This Vegetarian Stroganoff is a recipe I came up with when I was really craving one my very favourite dishes but I wanted my whole family to enjoy it, including my vegetarian daughter, and I reeeeeeally didn’t want to make two separate dishes. Mission accomplished. Halloumi Stroganoff. Oh my goodness. […]
Baked Halloumi cooked with the most scrumptious roasted veggies piled on top of creamy, cheesy, butter polenta is exactly the way I want to add more veggies into my life. Trust me. This is the way. It’s January and as much as I’d like to, I just can’t live on […]

That’s right friends, a green enchilada recipe with no tomatillos required. That may not sound like a big deal to you where […]
A spicy and rich Pasta with Red Pesto dish that is ridiculously easy peasy to make. Every time I go to the Italian market I come out with at least twelve fun new pasta shapes. I swear that is not an exaggeration. This Zitoni was from my last trip, and […]
… And Ricotta… And Marinara… And Roasted Garlic! This Lasagna with No Boil Noodles might just be the easiest lasagna you’ll ever make, but let me ask you… What kind of mood are you in today friend? The type of mood where you feel like whipping up a big old […]
This rich bowl of deliciousness is comfort food heaven. Pillowy bites of soft gnocchi in a creamy mushroom truffle sauce loaded with meaty rich umami mushrooms, rosemary, wine, cream, two cheeses and truffle oil… what more could you want?! The first time I made this I did not stop dipping […]
This Chana Masala for the Instant Pot is 30 minute comfort food that tastes like you slaved away all day but what you really did was drink coffee and watch reality TV until you realized you might actually have to feed the fam. Right? Don’t let it just be me. […]
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.
