Because I was craving S&P squid but I’m scared to cook squid. Seriously. Yes, I know how ridiculous that sounds. This super crispy restaurant style Salt and Pepper Chicken Recipe is even better than takeout. Why? Because there’s no transit time for it to cool off and lose some of […]
This Vegetarian Stroganoff is a recipe I came up with when I was really craving one my very favourite dishes but I wanted my whole family to enjoy it, including my vegetarian daughter, and I reeeeeeally didn’t want to make two separate dishes. Mission accomplished. Halloumi Stroganoff. Oh my goodness. […]
Baked Halloumi cooked with the most scrumptious roasted veggies piled on top of creamy, cheesy, butter polenta is exactly the way I want to add more veggies into my life. Trust me. This is the way. It’s January and as much as I’d like to, I just can’t live on […]
These Enchiladas with Green Sauce are made with a super EASY homemade green sauce that requires nothing more than some pantry ingredients you probably already have on hand.

This rich bowl of deliciousness is comfort food heaven. Pillowy bites of soft gnocchi in a creamy mushroom truffle sauce loaded with meaty rich umami mushrooms, rosemary, wine, cream, two cheeses and truffle oil… what more could you want?! The first time I made this I did not stop dipping […]
This Chana Masala for the Instant Pot is 30 minute comfort food that tastes like you slaved away all day but what you really did was drink coffee and watch reality TV until you realized you might actually have to feed the fam. Right? Don’t let it just be me. […]
This skillet Turkey Pot Pie with Puff Pastry is the best thing to happen to leftover turkey since… well.. ever. The creamy, rich filling is so full of flavour from wine and vegetables and herbs. And it’s all sealed under a crispy cap of buttery, rich puff pastry that you, […]
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.
