Butter Chicken Butter Chicken also known as Chicken Makhani is a classic Indian dish where grilled chicken (Tandoori chicken) is simmered in a spicy, aromatic, buttery and creamy tomato gravy. This lip-smacking and delicious dish is hugely popular among the Indian food lovers across the world.

Thoran-style Indian salad? Thoran is a staple vegetable-based “dry curry” found in the southern India. It consist of chopped vegetables cooked with grated coconut, curry leaves and is lightly flavoured with turmeric and maybe a couple of other spices. It can be made with many different vegetables such as cabbage, carrot, okra, onion, natives vegetables, or a mix. For the past year, I’ve been obsessively making the green bean version – which I will publish one of these days, because it’s so damned good!...

Writing this post is incredibly bittersweet to me, because Grandma O’Neill passed away last Sunday, after a long and difficult battle with Parkinson’s disease. The last time I called her was to tell her that I’d made a batch of snowball cookies inspired by a recipe of hers. She was too ill to talk at the time, but her caretaker assured me that she’d heard me and was smiling. I am incredibly blessed to have grown up seeing all four of my grandparents every single week....

Today’s roasted carrot soup recipe comes from one of the most important people in my life, my sister Elizabeth. For months, my sister Elizabeth told me about a roasted carrot soup recipe that had become one of her go-tos. “You’d really like it,” she said. Like turned out to be an understatement. This is the best carrot soup recipe I’ve ever tried (it’s right up there with this Broccoli Cauliflower Soup and Curried Carrot Soup)....

With its plain hue and mild-mannered flavor, cauliflower is a bit of a wallflower—the shy girl who sits in the back of your math class, silently acing her every exam. Buffalo sauce is more akin to the starting quarterback—universally popular, essential to any football game, and hot-hot-HOT. Yet, the two—gentle cauliflower and spicy Buffalo—are a match made in high school romantic comedy heaven. Inspired by the flavor and process of making Buffalo chicken wings, I created this healthy vegetarian version using often overlooked cauliflower....

Cherry pie filling is made of simple ingredients that are designed to thicken the cherries and help their flavor star brightly: fresh sweet or tart cherries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. The idea: stay out of the cherries’ way and help this precious red summer jewel taste its best. Old-fashioned cherry pie filling recipe uses sugar, but I prefer to sweeten my filling with honey. I was a little concerned that the honey’s flavor would overpower the cherries, but the two taste wonderful together....

This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! Chilli Con Carne recipe Texans have claimed Chili as their own, even going as far to legally make it the official dish of Texas (!!?). Though apparently, there’s evidence that traces the origins of Chili to Spain. Imagine that! 🙂 Die-hard Texan Chili fanatics will tell you it’s illegal to add beans into Chili. They’ll also tell you there’s no canned tomato in it, it’s made with cubes of beef not mince/ground beef, and that it MUST be made using whole dried chilis, rehydrated then pureed....

This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! Chow Mein I want to say that Chow Mein is my favourite noodle-child but I’m worried that I’ve said that in another recipe (or two… or three… 😂).
