Fancy-Schmancy Spiced Apple Cake

Baked Tofu Bites
Tofu has a lot of good qualities. It is high in protein, vegetarian-friendly, and usually pretty easy to find at the grocery store. However, if you don’t handle it with care, it is also BORING! It has a truly uninspiring texture and no flavour at all. That’s actually the magic of tofu: it is a…

Make-Ahead Beans with Tomatoes and Herbs
Some dishes are just best eaten a day or two after they are made. Soups, chilis, and even macarons benefit from a little extra time before they hit the table. This is definitely one of those recipes. If you eat it the same day as you make it, you will be disappointed. Give it a…

Simple Roasted Cherry Tomatoes with Olive Oil
This isn’t so much a recipe as a suggestion. It is simple, quick and only calls for 3 ingredients.

Spinach and cheese curry with chickpeas (easy palak paneer)
This is not an authentic palak paneer, I most definitely don’t have the skills for that. Anyone who knows how to make a proper palak paneer should avert their eyes (and invite me over for dinner).
