Pork and corn soup is a popular homestyle in China. Cut up pork ribs are simmered with ginger and green onion until fall-off-the-bone tender, then corn and carrot are added to impart a sweet taste to the soup. It is a dish that requires very little preparation and hands-on time. It’s often served as a starter or alongside other dishes. The soup is a light and nutritious meal that is consumed while recovering from illness....

Crunchy, golden exterior giving way to fluffy, soft interior flavoured with thyme and rosemary infused salt. That is what you get when you eat these roasted potatoes. And honestly, nothing more needs to be said so I won’t even try to wax lyrical about it. Just make these, eat them and then come back to tell me how good they were. How do I make the best roast potatoes? For potatoes that are perfectly crisp and golden on the outside and fluffy on the inside, it’s best to par-boil the potatoes before roasting....
Updated November 01, 2019 I love snacking on nuts, they are delicious and nutritious. Nuts are a great source of protein, contain heart healthy fats, and they are easy to eat on the go. I like eating plain nuts, but roasted nuts are even better. Candied Pecans are my favorite, but these rosemary roasted almonds are a close second. Whole almonds are seasoned with fresh rosemary, a dash of chili powder, salt and then placed in the oven to roast....

Updated April 14, 2019 Homemade Scalloped Potatoes After Josh and I got married, we moved into a small apartment for a few months while we were house hunting. When we were unpacking boxes in the kitchen, I came across Josh’s kitchen box. He had a lot of the basics: spices, flour, sugar, canned food, etc. I also found a few boxes of scalloped potatoes. I was intrigued. My dad grew up on a farm in Idaho, so we never had boxed potatoes growing up....
Say hello to my new favorite summer meal! It’s fresh and lovely and wholesome and tastes like you’re in Greece, if Greece had a taste. I’ve never been to Greece (DYING to go!), but the briny olives, nutty farro, and luscious olive oil tomatoes in this dish make me feel like I’ve been transported to a Mediterranean wonderland. Like, I hear waves crashing in the background. A big hunk [of salty feta] would be so wonderful here!...
The first time I tried Egg Foo Young was in a small diner ran by Chinese immigrants in Cairo. It was quite different from the northern Chinese style omelet that I’d eaten growing up. The omelet that I’m familiar with is usually filled with a single ingredient, either a green vegetable or a herb. For example, green onion, anaheim pepper, or young leaves of Chinese mahogany (xiang chun). Less oil is used in family-style cooking, and there is no gravy involved....

Jamaican oxtail (which is the more famous way of preparing oxtail) is cooked with Scotch Bonnet pepper, butter beans and allspice....

Oh hi there. I’m back with even more vegetables. But this time they’re teamed with glorious halloumi cheese and stuffed into a healthy, wholesome seed roll. It’s like a little party involving all my favourite things. I’ve mentioned it before and I’ll mention it again. I make a mean sandwich.

With real homemade vegan yogurt, plant-based milk, maple syrup, and a hint of cardamom, there is no other authentic summer recipe that you can prepare at a moment’s notice. I agree to be sent email. Lassi can be enjoyed as a beverage just by itself or at the end of a sumptuous meal. The most common Lassi recipe in Indian cuisine is either Sweet Lassi or Mango Lassi. The recipe I am sharing is a vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar-free variation with Strawberries....

Growing up, I was never a big fan of radishes. I did like radish in a stew, when it was cooked until tender and almost sweet. When eaten raw, they are too spicy and peppery for my taste. When I was a kid, I’d always frown when I saw watermelon radishes in my grandma’s shopping basket. Just like other northerners, she’d usually slice the radishes and serve them raw with a plate of salty soy dipping sauce....
