Stirfried Beef with Chanterelles

2026-10-08T12:00:00.000+02:00

An indulgent but easy and speedy steak dinner featuring succulent steak, earthy, meaty chanterelles and mellow onion. Stir-fry cooks up pretty quickly so have all the ingredients prepared and ready before you turn on the heat. I used chuck steak, but ribeye, flank steak or even fillet all work well. Serve them with egg noodles or steamed rice.

Vinegar-Braised Chicken with Leeks and Peas

2026-10-06T12:00:00.000+02:00

This French bistro-inspired chicken recipe from Food and Wine delivers everything you want for a low effort yet delicious and comforting weeknight meal. The bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are browned until golden, then nestled into a luscious sauce brightened and balanced with white balsamic vinegar and finished with herbs and crème fraîche. Sweet, meltingly creamy leeks and bright green peas add freshness and balance the richness of the dish. If you don’t have tarragon, use fennel fonds or add a tiny pinch of anise seed to replicate its signature sweet, licorice-like flavour.

Sweet Chilli Chicken Traybake

2026-10-02T12:00:00.000+02:00

Sweet, savoury and spicy, this chicken traybake is not only delicious, also ready in 30 minutes and makes a great weeknight meal. Use homemade sugar free chilli sauce if you can, otherwise, storebought one will work in a pinch. Chinese broccoli or gailan will be ideal for the recipe, but other veggies like broccolini, pakchoi or asparagus are nice substitutes. It’s naturally glutenfree and keto-friendly.

Chicken Liver Salad with Arugula, Pomegranate and Figs

2026-09-30T12:00:00.000+02:00

Rich chicken livers are a perfect match with bitter, peppery arugula, sweet earthy figs (or refreshingly tangy grapefruit) in this warm, nutritious salad with a sweet pomegranate dressing. It’s easy to make, delicious and so versatile. Feel free to add some boiled green beans, sliced mushrooms, onions or fennel to make the salad even more interesting and fun to eat. For extra crunch and texture, sprinkle some toasted nuts over.
Chicken liver, aka "nature's multivitamin" is an exceptionally healthy, one of the most nutrient-dense superfood available.
Pomegranate molasses (available on Amazon or middle eastern grocery stores) is reduced pomegranate juice that’s dark, intensely tart, fruity with subtle sweetness. A little bit of pomegranate molasses goes a long way for the dressing. When buying pomegrante molasses, make sure you get the one made from 100% pomegranate.

Keto Vintage Cheddar Chanterelle Tart

2026-09-28T12:00:00.000+02:00

This savoury tart combines earthy, golden chanterelle mushrooms with a keto pork rind pastry crust and a sharp, nutty, and complex vintage Cheddar. You can of course substitute it with Västerbotten or Gruyère or use a mixture of all of them. If you don’t follow keto diet, then a homemade buttery pastry crust would be perfect for the recipe too. Use other wild mushrooms for the topping if chanterelle ain’t available.

Indian-spiced Creamed Corn

2026-09-22T12:00:00.000+02:00

Traditional creamed corn is a kinda soupy version of sweetcorn. The “creaminess” is a milky liquid that comes from partially mushed up kernels, no additional any form of dairy required. This Indian-styled creamed corn use some warm aromatic Indian spices and curry leaves to transform something ordinary into a special and fragrant side dish that delivers flavour and comfort. You can of course use some heavy cream to make it even more creamier and richer.

Made with healthy and wholesome ingredients, this easy, quick oatmeal casserole recipe comes together instraight in the baking dish. Top the oatmeal with other seasonal fruit if figs are not in season. If you prefer a more solid to gooey baked oatmeal, bake slightly longer.

Poulet Rôti au Vin Rouge

2026-09-18T12:00:00.000+02:00

Poulet Rôti au Vin Rouge, aka Rachel Khoo's Roast Red Wine Chicken : tender, juicy chicken thighs slowly braised in red wine together with sweet Dutch carrots and herbs. Everything cooks together in one tray making it a fast and simple meal with easy preparation and barely any washing up. I personally prefer bone in, skin on chicken thighs, but feel free to use a whole chicken as the original recipe calls for. I skipped the potatoes and used Dutch carrots, which are young, small, and slender carrots sold in bunches with their green tops attached.

Beef Mafé - West African Peanut Stew

2026-09-16T12:00:00.000+02:00

Mafé, or maafe, is a traditional West African peanut stew that can be made with beef, lamb, chicken, seafood, or just vegetables. This oven version of mafé features succulent diced beef slowly simmered in a nutty peanut butter sauce. Finish this dish in the oven, you will get melt-in-your-mouth tender beef and perfectly thickened, splatter-free gravy. It is easy to make and tastes even better the next day. Serve it with rice or couscous, but if you are watching your carbs, you can easily enjoy this with cauliflower rice. If you have a peanut allergy or simply want to experiment, you can use almond or cashew butter.

Chanterelle Scrambled Eggs

2026-09-14T12:00:00.000+02:00

Turn an ordinary scrambled egg meal into a gourmet feast with one of the most versatile and delicious wild mushrooms-chanterelles. I dry cleaned the chanteerelles with paper towels, but if prefer water, just make sure do it quickly rather than soaking them so they do not get soggy. And dry them off with a clean towel. Pre-salt the egg mixture 5-10 minutes before cooking changes the structure of proteins, making the scarmbled eggs much more tender.

Rustic Fig and Yoghurt Cake

2026-09-12T12:00:00.000+02:00

A delicious, healthy yoghurt fig cake that's perfect for family and guests and is adaptable to any seasonal fruit. The cake comes together in one bowl and is loaded with chopped figs. Mildly sweetened yoghurt frosting and freshly cut figs add an elegant touch while the drizzles of honey all over the cake, imparting a rich, natural sweetness, depth and complexity to the cake's flavour profile. Yoghurt needs to be strained at least overnight, so plan ahead.

Spezzatino di Manzo - Italian Beef Stew

2026-09-10T12:00:00.000+02:00

Spezzatino di manzo is a classic Italian beef stew in a rich sauce of red wine, beef broth, tomato paste or passata, herbs and vegetables. It’s great to serve over polenta, pasta or crusty bread to soak up every bit of the sauce! It’s a great make-ahead dish that tastes even better as it sits, and lasts for a few days in the fridge. This comforting one-pot meal features countless regional and family variations across Italy. My version is rather simple without pancetta, but you can add some at the start for smoky depth. Use regular mushrooms if you can’t find chanterelles.

Plum Pull-apart Bread

2026-09-08T12:00:00.000+02:00

Deliciously soft, moist and inviting pull-apart bread with plums, crème fraîche, walnuts and an optional orange glaze. It’s great for breakfast, brunch, or dessert with a dollop of whipped cream. The enriched dough is really easy to bring together with your stand mixer. Peaches or apricots are equally good for the recipe.

Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Chilli and Seeds

2026-09-06T12:00:00.000+02:00

Sweet, savory and spicy, these roasted sweet potatoes are very adaptable and easy to prepare. Sub in regular potatoes or add parsnips to make the side even more interesting. You can serve those roasted sweet potato wedges as they are, with the spiced seed mixture or with a sprinkle of freshly chopped herb and yoghurt dressing. Either way, these would go perfectly as a side with steak or grilled chicken.

Apple Cloud Cake

2026-09-04T12:00:00.000+02:00

Apple cloud cake is a lightly spiced with cinnamon and cardamom, tender and less-guilty dessert that's zero added fat, relatively low in sugar, but big on taste. It’s perfect for breakfast, a snack, or any time when sweet craving hits. Its soft texture and the taste of fresh apples make it irresistible. I have used a 23cm square baking tray, but you certainly can use a round springform pan.

Yeast Banana Buns

2026-09-02T12:00:00.000+02:00

With this bread recipe, you will use up all those overripe bananas, and the result is some super soft and tender yeasted banana buns. If you are over quick banana bread or just want something different, this yeast banana bread recipe is a great variation. They are not only delicious, big on banana flavour, also relatively healthy without using any sugar. If you don’t want to be bothered to shape the buns the way I did, simply shape them into a loaf or plain round balls.

Creamy Turmeric Chicken

2026-08-31T12:00:00.000+02:00

This creamy turmeric chicken recipe is so full of flavour, packed with warm spices and so easy to make in your skillet. Coming together in just 30 minutes, perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. I used boneless whole chicken legs for the recipe, if you are using bone-in chicken thighs or drumsticks, then they will need a longer cook time, so adjust accordingly.

Lemongrass Porchetta

2026-08-29T12:00:00.000+02:00

Fatty, juicy pork belly infused with a fresh, vibrant lemongrass paste, this Vietnamese-inspired porchetta makes a great festive meal or Sunday roast.

Inspired by the flavours of Puerto Rican lechón, this highly umami-rich roast chicken is a bold yet delicious take on roast poultry that’s rooted in Puerto Rican culinary traditions. Lechón, the crown jewel of of Puerto Rican cuisine, is a whole suckling pig slow-roasted over open flames or charcoal. Heavily and heavenly seasoned with a paste that’s made with lots of garlic, oregano, and adobo seasoning, it is known for its incredibly juicy meat and prized crackling skin. In this recipe the adobo paste is massaged under the skin and over every nook of the bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, infusing it with savoury, bold, tangy, herbaceous notes that deepen as it roasts.

Bò Kho - Vietnamese Beef Stew

Bò Kho, a hearty and incredibly cozy Vietnamese beef stew, is made by simmering seared bite-sized beef chunks and carrots in an aromatic broth infused with the fish sauce, lemongrass, ginger, star anise, garlic, bay leaf and five-spice until meltingly tender and fall-apart. Marinate overnight for best results. Enjoy the stew as it is, with a crispy banh mi, over rice or noodles.

Apple Cider Cookies

2026-08-23T12:00:00.000+02:00

Soft, chewy, made with apple cider reduction, raw brown sugar, apple pie spice and butter, these cookies are baked to perfection, then drizzled with an apple cider glaze that makes your entire kitchen smells delicious. If you don’t have apple pie spice mix, simply use 1 teaspoon of cinnamon with a little bit of ginger powder and nutmeg instead. Don’t over beat the butter and sugar, or the cookies will spread too much and become thin and flat. Store the rest in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days. If you want to freeze the baked cookies, leave out the glaze. Let them thaw at room temperature when ready to enjoy. Then, add the glaze if desired.

If you cannot find juniper berries, use a tablespoon or two of gin or fresh rosemary, esp. if you are looking for herbal, piney flavour.
