A summer salad with cherries makes me very happy. Actually, anything with cherries makes me very happy. Cherries are my second favourite fruit and at this time of year I’m eating them in, on and with just about everything. So when I can fit them into a salad I’m thrilled. […]
15 Minute Mushroom Soba Noodles. Because I’m currently living in a heat wave and want to spend as little time in the kitchen as possible. Anyone feel me? How about just 15 minutes of effort that ends in a big bowl of noodley deliciousness with the most amazing caramelized garlicky […]
Cheesy Chili Crisp Fried Eggs. Has a good ring to it doesn’t it? Eggs fried in a pool of spicy chili crisp and cheese that gets that brown, lacy, crispy edge. Sooooo good. And ready in about 10 minutes. I am really into frying eggs in stuff these days (click […]
My mind: Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake bars are a jillion times easier to make than an actual Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake. Reality: probably roughly exactly the same. Maybe I should actually bake a cheesecake and then I’ll know. But I think nah. Because these bars? They’re awesome! Beyond delicious and so easy […]

Need a new whipped ricotta toast idea? THIS IS IT! It’s my new favourite breakfast and I hope it will be yours too. We’ve been eating it on the daily around here if that tells you how good it is. I always buy maple butter for my Dad when I […]
Friends, what I did here is pretty cool… I managed to take a simple classic dish like a Spaghetti Aglio Olio e Peperoncino recipe and make it both easier and harder at the same time. Harder? Because I added lemon, olives and cheese. All good ideas, I think you’ll agree. […]
My girl and I created this savoury baked beans recipe together last year when I was making ribs for some guests and I needed a vegetarian dish for her and planned on making some homemade baked beans. That was the moment I found out that she thinks sweet baked beans […]
I adore butter lettuce and I adore this salad. It’s a funny story though… the whole inspiration for this salad was a bottle of raspberry red wine vinegar that I bought thinking it was regular old red wine vinegar, put in something that should definitely NOT taste like raspberry and […]
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.
