This is a twice baked soufflé, because..…well, it’s baked twice. Firstly to make the soufflé, for it to puff up in all it’s glory, then secondly to reheat it, puff up again and for the cream poured over it to become bubbly and golden. To make-ahead, you simple freeze it after the first time you bake it, then defrost it completely before baking again with the cream. And you will be absolute amazed how much it puffs up the 2nd time you bake it – by my measurements, it actually puffed up slightly more than the first time!...

What I do with leftover egg whites Hope you find that useful! To use, thaw overnight in a bowl then use per recipe. I don’t recommend using them in recipes that rely on fluffing them up (like pavlova). But they can be used for other purposes – suggestions listed below. – Nagi x

This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! Wonton soup If you’ve ever had store bought frozen wontons or wontons from a good value Chinese place that probably uses frozen wontons, you will be amazed how different homemade ones are. The main difference is the texture of the filling – because homemade wontons are made with just pure fresh ingredients, NO mysterious fillers! I think wontons are one of those things that many people don’t think to make, assuming they are really tedious and take ages....

3 minutes active effort, no knead, no stand mixer, highly flexible and forgiving, this homemade bread can be on your table in less than 3 hours OR prepare the dough up to 3 days in advance for a handy “grab and bake” option. This is life changing! Phenomenal EASY yeast bread recipe This is an extraordinary white bread recipe with outstanding results. While it’s easy and forgiving, making it suitable for beginners, experienced bakers will recognise and appreciate the Artisan bread characteristics – large holes in the crumb like your favourite sourdough bread with that signature chewiness, and a thick, crispy crust....

You’ll love how homemade Baklava is not overly sweet and how people can’t believe you made this! Baklava recipe I can sweep past the window of patisseries without having to fight an urge to pop in. But if there’s one sweet thing that makes me hesitate – and breaks me more often that I care to admit – it’s Baklava. This is THE Dessert to make when you want to impress the pants off your family and friends....

This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! I’m going away tomorrow for a beach escape with my girlfriends and in usual form, I piped up straight away and said “bags taking care of the food!”. No one complained. Everybody wants a proper break. Me? Relaxing = cobbling around in the kitchen with many mouths to feed. 🙂 But it is, after all, a holiday, and I don’t plan to spend hours upon hours making complicated fussy things....

Blueberry Cheesecake I know sometimes the thought of a quick ‘n easy no-bake cheesecake recipe is enticing. But if you want to make cheesecake the way it’s intended to be, with a filling that’s somehow fluffy but creamy at the same time, rich but not so dense that it sticks to the roof of your mouth, then a baked cheesecake is the way to go. Add pops of blueberry littered throughout that lemony cheesecake filling, then OMG that insane glistening blueberry topping …....

There are some things in life that you think just can’t get any better. Like hash browns. With a golden, crunchy crust and moist inside, hash browns is one of those things in life that appeals to both little kids and grown ups. So – can you improve on the classic hash brown? YES, YOU CAN! By adding cheese and bacon! Then you up the stakes again – by making them in muffin tins....

I love a good one pot recipe, and this one sits alongside reader favourites including Greek Chicken & Lemon Rice, Sausage Bake with Vegetables and Gravy, Baked Chicken with Garlic Butter Rice and the one skillet Asian Beef Noodles! “It’s beefy, cheesy and saucy – Hamburger Helper tastes like cheeseburgers in pasta form!” Cheeseburger Casserole The first time I published this recipe, I said that I burnt my mouth taste testing this straight out of the pot....

This Chicken Rice Soup is made by cooking chicken pieces in the broth which yields a beautiful savoury, golden, flavour infused broth without having to man handle a whole chicken. Skip the rotisserie chicken – this is better! Chicken and Rice Soup I know there are plenty of quick and easy Chicken soups “out there” that will have you using pre cooked chicken or poaching chicken breast quickly then stirring it into the soup....

CHINESE CHICKEN SALAD – MY MOST MADE ASIAN SALAD! This is my most made faux Asian salad. It’s “faux” because it’s in no way authentic Chinese and that’s totally ok. I love it anyway because it’s so delish, and it’s a good way to make me inhale large volumes of fresh greens. THE ASIAN SALAD DRESSING The Asian salad dressing I use in this salad is based on a recipe by David Chang of Momofuku....

BONUS: Churros are great for making ahead, making it a great party dessert. Churros recipe Up until several years ago, this churros obsessed food blogger thought Churros was native to Mexico. Thus on her first (but certianly not last) trip to Mexico, she was expecting to be in churro heaven. Churros, churros, churros everywhere. But no. I barely saw churro at all. Duh. Churro isn’t native to Mexico. It’s Spanish!...

Choose how gooey you want them, just follow the bake times and my “toothpick smearing” test. Brownies can be frozen for up to 3 months, but nothing quite compares to when they’re freshly made, and still slightly warm…. Homemade Chocolate Brownies These homemade brownies are every chocoholics dream come true. Need a chocolate fix urgently? These will be in the oven in 15 minutes flat (if not faster). Hate washing up?...

Great way to make breakfast for a crowd and a make ahead, protein rich meal you can keep for days and days. Also see Baked Frittata – no stove required! Frittata recipe This frittata recipe will be familiar to many of my friends. It is what I make when I’m cooking brunch for a group of people or when I don’t have enough bacon to go around for everyone. It makes me feel like I’m getting a quiche fix – but far healthier because it’s devoid of that buttery crust, nor loaded with cream....

I know, it’s confusing! You’re so used to getting recipes on my website – there’s over 1,200 of them, after all. And here you are looking at a tasty recipe video and I haven’t provided the recipe. 🙀 I’m not just doing this to torture you, I promise....

Pancakes recipe Homemade pancakes shouldn’t be complicated. It doesn’t matter if they come out wonky or with a splotchy surface instead of being a beautiful, even golden brown – after all, they’ll get smothered in toppings. But they should be soft and fluffy. And in my world, not too sweet. Because….you know. Toppings. Load up on toppings! Any day starting with homemade pancakes is a GREAT day! What goes in homemade pancakes This is what you need:...

I don’t know about you but my freezer is valuable real estate. So when I opened it the other day to realise that my bag of bread crusts were taking up an inordinate amount of space, I decided I needed to do something about it. More croutons? More breadcrumbs? I needed neither. Besides, the bag of bread crusts was substantial (from an “English afternoon tea” and several attempts to create these Mini Quiche Toast Cups) and neither of those two options would use up more than a few cups....
