Quite easy to make, but long. Very tasty, but not my favourite.

Pretty tasty pound cake, not purely traditional. Extract in the glaze tastes fine, though it gives it a brown tinge.

Adapted from Not Another Cooking and made vegetarian. Similar to Pasta e Fagioli, but made with dried lentils and creamier because cheese is mixed in,

Extremely rich Millionaire Shortbread recipe (like a homemade Twix bar). Usually a crowd pleaser, but maybe a bit too much caramel. I should try this with half the caramel, for a thinner layer.

I find this curry a bit too soupy, and I actually like the version from Yeung Man Cooking a bit better. On the other hand, this one is simpler and involves less chopping, so there's that. And it's still really tasty. I like it better without the nut butter.

Pretty tasty one pot chickpea curry, though I find the crunchy spices a bit weird

Grenadine syrup made with actual pomegranate juice, as it was done in the old days. Use it in cocktails or in soft drinks

Good way to use up a bunch of chard I sometimes get in my grocery basket. Basically a baked omelette. Good with a salad.

Easy and tasty. This is quickly becoming a staple dish.

This is another decent key lime bar recipe, that's a bit simpler and more tangy than the Little Spice Jar version, with a slightly thinner base.

This is my preferred key lime bar recipe.

Tasty enough, but I wouldn't call this my favourite

Hard to resist this one, and a delicious way to use up a some apples

These take a bit long, but they are a nice change from your standard roast or mashed potatoes

This is my favourite lentil soup. Healthy, easy, quick, delicious.

This one comes from my friend Jennifer.

This is one of my favourite cakes, partly because it's so deceptively simple. Good with Lemon curd. Even better the next day

This is a good way to use up a spare eggplant, which happens more often then you might imagine if you get a grocery basket delivered on a weekly basis.

Suprisingly simple and tasty. Use good quality sesame oil. You don't need to use Japnaese rice.

I usually buy berber spice from my local ethnic organic grocer, but this is still useful to have around in case I ever lose access to this place. I don't think it's quite authentic but would work in a pinch.

Ethiopian spiced butter, used to make Misir Wat and other dishes

I don't know if this is the best, but it's certainly a decent stir fry sauce

This is one of my favourite lentil dishes. Absolutely delicious, even if you don't have niter kibbeh.

I'll sometimes make these if I have some leftover ricotta that I want to use up.

A good recipe, if a bit more complicated then it needs to be.
