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 […]
This Donut Cake is for all my non-Canadian friends who have never experienced the true life joy that is a Tim Horton’s sour cream donut (Canadian friends who haven’t, shame). They are truly one of my very favourite things in life. And while I’m never opposed to getting my hands […]
My goal was to make these turkey meatballs as tiny as these bocconcini balls. My lack of patience and low tolerance for fiddly things made them the size you see here. You can make them smaller if you are a better person than I am. And please invite me over if […]
I love Nice Cream. It’s so easy to make and tastes really good, but I don’t always want it to taste like banana. This one is made with coconut milk… and it’s blue! With sprinkles!! For as long as I can remember I’ve been drawn to blue food… What ice […]
Hoo boy do I ever love this tomato rice. I made a big batch of it for dinner with those chicken skewers I made a few days ago (linked at the bottom of the page) and then I just didn’t stop eating it. I’m still eating it. And just FYI, […]
“Pork chops like these are just about as good as a steak”. Direct quote. My husband. For real.I don’t know what else there is to say. Oh yes! Yes I do. The sauce!! I’m a sweet & salty girl and this really does it for me. Sweet, tangy… perfect with […]
I love donuts. And yes, before you say it, I am well aware that baked donuts do not compare to fried ones. You will get no argument from me on that one. BUT! The baked ones can be really good. Promise. I would not steer you wrong. They key is […]
Greek Yogurt Marinated Chicken is the best chicken. I said it. The BEST chicken. Oh my goodness these chicken skewers are good… and this sauce… if you hear someone tell me to stop hitting the sauce it’s very likely not because I’m drunk, but because I have face planted into […]
Rhubarb lover? Rhubarb not-so-much lover? Looking for a new rhubarb recipe? Rhubarb Dream Bars is it. Your new fave. Hands up if you ate rhubarb dipped in sugar when you were a kid. ??♀️ That’s awesome. I did not. I thought it was gross. Pretty sure you couldn’t even convince […]
Blueberry Jam with Lavender sounds like something that might require canning, which doesn’t work for me. I am 100% certain that if I try canning anything without my Mom here to supervise I’m going to kill someone with botulism. So I just don’t. Unless she’s here. Also, making jam… super […]
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.
