Making this Beef and Broccoli Chow Mein was… interesting… Pop quiz: What are you NOT supposed to put on a grease fire? You said water right? You’re right. I knew that too. Which is funny because what did I do when some old grease caught on fire in the bbq? […]

In my never ending mission to convert the kale haters of the world (“Hi” Father-in-Law!) I bring you the best kale salad I’ve ever made (since the last best kale salad I’ve ever made). But this one is seriously delicious. The combo of strawberries, balsamic & pepper is often seen […]

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.
