I am a huge salad lover and rarely a day goes by that I don’t eat a big bowl of something that would be considered salad. I have a big passion for kale, which may be weird, but i just love the stuff, as you’ll probably see here…
And Chickpeas. And Tahini Herb Dressing. And Crunchy Cheddar Crisps. A Chopped Kale Salad with so much good stuff in it you might forget that it’s good for you. Except don’t forget because it’s important that we remember – and also loudly announce to all of those around us – […]
And why I’m considering making bread mandatory in all salads in the Pypers Kitchen. Grilled Salad sounds a bit like an oxymoron doesn’t it? Kind of like Bread Salad? I mean, what immediately comes to mind when you hear the word “salad”? For me it’s a big bowl of lettuce […]
…and fresh basil and creamy mozzarella cheese… hungry yet? Corn and Tomato Salad done up Panzanella style with loads of veggies and golden, buttery, toasted bread. You can make this salad all year long, but I have to say that it’s absolutely divine smack in the middle of summer when […]
Trust me. My simple twist on this salad will make it the best you’ve ever had. This Elote Pasta Salad takes all the flavours of our favourite Mexican Street Corn and transforms them into an amazing and easy to make summer salad. You’ve seen street corn salads before, but this […]
If there’s such a thing as salad perfection this might just be it. A Strawberry Salad with Goat Cheese just screams spring, summer and sunshine doesn’t it? Bright red, sweet strawberries, fresh greens, creamy, tangy goat cheese and the ultimate topper with my Honey Butter Almonds…. are you dying to […]
Don’t worry… I know she’d agree. This raw Carrot Pineapple Salad is fresh, bright and a flavour & texture explosion. Julienned (or shredded – more on this later) carrots, fresh sweet pineapple, salty feta cheese, bright mint, buttery pistachios and tart, chewy cranberries (or raisins – more on that later […]
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, […]
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… […]
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 […]
With Chili Crisp. Ready in 10 minutes. Flavour. Bomb. This is my go-to Asian Spicy Cucumber Salad recipe and when I say it’s easy what I mean is that it is easy. Crazy easy. The make it whenever you get the itch to have something incredibly tasty but feel like […]
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.
