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 […]
In my never ending mission to convert the kale haters of the world (“Hi” Father-in-Law!) I bring you the best kale salad I’ve ever made (since the last best kale salad I’ve ever made). But this one is seriously delicious. The combo of strawberries, balsamic & pepper is often seen […]
Add “Thai Glass Noodle Salad” to the list of things you want to try next. Believe me. I reeeeeeeeally hope you’ve tried my Smoky Brown Sugar & Grainy Mustard Salmon salmon. Why? Because if you did, you just might have leftover salmon in your fridge right now which you means […]
These noodles are inspired by my very favourite Chili Goma Ramen from a local (amazing) ramen restaurant. I really needed a fix but I didn’t have any of my own 20-hour pork broth kicking around, or any fresh handmade noodles. BUT!!! I did have an excessive amount of soba noodles […]
Sick of kale salads yet? I’m not. Never will be. I love it so much I could eat it every day. In any form. Kale rocks! But, for the haters… This is not your average kale salad. Bright sweet pineapple, loads of texture from the cashews & coconut and spicy […]
It is not all croquettes and Szechuan peppercorns around here friends. This super easy dinner dish is covered in tater tots… And no, I did not make my own tater tots… hello? How long would that take? It also has ketchup in it. Ketchup!! And I’m actually convinced that’s what […]
Fried cheese. That is all. Ok, that is not all, but it could be all and probably would have been all I ate of this meal if I didn’t have to be responsible and set a good example by eating my veggies blah blah blah. In truth this whole meal […]
I loved everything about this. So many great textures and flavours here… crispy crunchy potatoes, creamy beans, herby pesto… everything just works. And who doesn’t like toast? This might take slightly more fussing that PB&J, but it is so worth it. Recipe-ish: Let me know how you like it!
These Crispy Gochujang Chicken Bowls are an absolute flavour bomb of a one-bowl meal. I came up with this dish because my obsession with Gochujang is alive, well and thriving, if you must know. Adding to that my obsession with any and all types of fried chicken and we have the […]
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.
