Pistachio and Pecorino Pesto

I’d forgotten just how much I love this roughly chopped up “pesto” made with fresh parsley, pungent garlic, toasted pistachios and a good, salty pecorino.

Crispy Roasted Potatoes with Lemon, Garlic and Sage

There are roasted potatoes. And then there are crispy roasted potatoes. So when I discovered a new way to perk up some tubers, I was only to thrilled to try it out.  In addition to this method of treating the potatoes, the lemon-sage is something I’m pretty happy to discover (and use more often).

Parmesan Roasted Broccoli

  Does this look like the same old broccoli that we are all used to? I love broccoli. I mean, what’s not to like? It’s healthy, it’s fresh, it’s colourful, it’s crunchy, it’s tasty, it’s great! It stumps me when I read stories about parents have a tough time shoving broccoli down their little ones’ […]

Garlicky Baked Fries

GARLIC FRIES I’m never going to make garlic potato fries any other way. These garlic fries, win hands down as the best garlic french fries I’ve ever made. Plus they are baked – so I won’t feel too guilty if I make it every time I’m craving for some potato comfort. When I read that there […]
