I first created this fresh peach salad recipe when I was a teenager. And friends, I’m not gonna lie, that was a while ago… easily more than ten years (wink, wink). Anyhoo… it’s definitely stood the test of time and it is so delicious. The sweet peaches and spiced cashews […]

I really wanted to just eat this dressing with a spoon. Like soup. Thought that might be frowned upon though, so I didn’t. But it’s so good! So is this salad. You see, arugula salad is often on the menu around here. So much so that my family banned me […]
When life gives you leftover quinoa you make these. When life does not give you leftover quinoa you go make some quinoa and make these because they are that good. I first made these as a way to get some extra protein into my veggie daughter and they turned out […]

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.
