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…
with capers, garlic, red pepper flakes, parmesan cheese… This Little White Bean and Celery Salad is one of those “do not pass go, just make it” dishes that I know you will love. You know I love me some contrast in my food and this has definitely got it. Soft, […]
Is it still a salad if we put “candied” things in it? And if those candied things are bacon? This Broccoli Crunch Salad can be either a side salad or a full meal, entirely depending on your intention to share. I did not share. I typically eat most of this […]
with Quick Popped Tomatoes and Pepperoncini This Orzo Pesto Salad is one of those dishes that works for just about any occasion. Lunch, brunch, dinner. Main dish, side dish, appetizer… ok, maybe not an appetizer. Personally, I’m happiest just making it, stuffing it in the fridge and dipping in for […]
I know I said burnt. But wait!! I know saying Burnt Cabbage with Pecorino & Honey Walnut might send you running for the hills, your face all scrunched up and anger coursing through you as you wonder what in the ever loving heck a food blogger is doing telling you […]
Prepare your tastebuds friends. They’re in for a big party. This Smashed Cucumber & Crispy Rice Salad is a big, uber-tasty bunch of crunchy stuff piled onto a big, hot bunch of crispy stuff. You know how much I like my crunch in a salad, so this is kind of […]
I so want to love seaweed salad. Someday I’ll probably love seaweed salad, but for now… For now this Kale Cucumber “Seaweed” Salad will do very, very nicely. Especially if I can find a way to smuggle it into the sushi restaurants in my purse. This salad is so delicious, […]
and red onion, dates, pistachios, parsley, argula, aleppo pepper… Have I won the longest recipe title ever award? Least boring at least? This Charred Cabbage and Cauliflower Salad with ALL those other things – and more – is absolutely anything but boring and holy heck is it delicious. As I […]
One of my favourite salads of all time. This Roasted Carrot Avocado Salad with Harissa Yogurt has a story. Not a long story, but one that’s worth telling… at least I think so, but maybe just because I want to hear myself tell it… Years ago. We’re talking many, many […]
Say hello to your (my) new favorite kale salad… This Tahini Kale Salad might just be the most festive kale salad ever. The colors are spectacular and it is just bursting with flavors and textures. I’m so in love with it. We’re into holiday season now and I always find […]
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 […]
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.
