Some of these side dishes are almost good enough to stand on their own. So many delicious options here.
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, […]
This is, quite possibly, one of the best things you’ll ever eat. Stuffed Naan that can be in your mouth in 15 minutes (maybe 16-17… try not to be unnecessarily impatient and burn the bejeepers out of your mouth like I do). It’s crispy on the outside, soft and pillowy […]
Where are all my blue cheese lovers at?? This Risotto Gorgonzola with Prosecco is the comfort food of my dreams. Made with bubbly Prosecco, shallots, garlic, butter and creamy gorgonzola, it’s creamy, rich and absolutely delicious. The perfect dish for a cold, cozy night in, which is pretty much every […]
…and Bacon!! Ok friends, these Marinated Brussels Sprouts with Maple Balsamic and Bacon are the new best thing you’ve ever eaten and I would not lie about an important thing like that. I must tell you that my daughter and I ate a whole lot of these babies straight off […]
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 […]
Pillowy, soft, crispy edged, sweet & salty heaven… Fluffy Black Pepper Focaccia Genovese with Grapes & Rosemary! So perfect for Fall. Soft, pillowy bread with a golden brown crust topped with rosemary, flaky salt, freshly cracked black pepper and Coronation Grapes. “Doesn’t she mean Concord Grapes?” No, she doesn’t. 😉 […]
Creamy, rich sesame sauce in five minutes. I don’t know what this Goma Dressing wouldn’t be good on and if someone doesn’t keep an eye on me there’s a good chance I’m going to sit and eat the whole bowl of it with a spoon, which would be kind of […]
How have I gone this long without telling you this??? This Instant Pot Jasmine Rice is hands-down my favourite rice. And I make a LOT of rice. Whether it’s for soup, fried rice, rice bowls or salads, I make rice multiple times a week. This is my favourite way to […]
…with Parmesan and Vermouth. What if I don’t have vermouth? Can I still make this? Of course you can my friend! Read on…. I made this Risotto al Limone with Vermouth instead of white wine and let me tell you why… it is currently dry January in my house. I […]
…with cherries, goat cheese & tarragon brown butter vinaigrette. This Golden Beet Salad… it’s all about sweet golden beets tossed together with plump, tart dried cherries, creamy crumbled goat cheese and then!!! Then I douse the whole works in an irresistible browned butter tarragon vinaigrette and I just don’t know […]
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.
