I’ve made Frangipane before but used Nectarines and although this is an equally delicious way of making this tart, the raspberries add an incredible dimension of flavour that can only be achieved with slightly sour fruit. I decided to spread a thin layer of good quality raspberry preserves on the pastry before adding the filling to pump up the raspberry flavour. I served this as dessert when we had guests last week and everyone raved about how phenomenal it was....

Updated March 26, 2019 I like to eat a salad every day, but I don’t like to eat the same old salad every day. I like to mix things up so I am not bored.

When you need simple, delicious comfort food, look no further. There are few things as absolutely scrumptious as a plate of creamy, buttery mash topped with herby pork sausages topped with a rich, flavoursome onion gravy.

Have you ever had snap peas? I bet you have. They’re so delightfully crunchy and sweet that I found myself eating them right off the plant!

It’s a perfect veggie side dish for your Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner table. The key to this dish is that the Brussels sprouts are served raw, along with raw apple.

The artichokies not only add a textural twist, but also a nice flavor and fiber boost. I don’t hate it!I’m not gonna act like this taste like spinach and artichoke dip….it doesn’t. But maybe if you added some parmesan… But no. It tastes like satisfying, creamy tuna salad with delectable bite of spinach, artichoke and onion....

I really love this recipe because it reminds me of the Pad Thai I had in Thailand....
