Rich and zesty, this creamy lemon risotto makes a great light meal for summer, but also works great as a side dish for chicken and fish.

Homemade pies
I didn’t enjoy pies until I was in my 30s and I finally tried quality, homemade pies (thank you, Queenstown, New Zealand!). It got me thinking about all the interesting possibilities when it came to fillings – but first I had to master the pie base and process. This recipe is everything I’ve learned about making a foolproof pie base, with links to my favourite pie fillings.
Chicken in creamy mustard sauce
One of my favourite recipes ever (I could drink the sauce, it’s that good!). Pan-seared chicken breasts are smothered in a thick but delicate creamy mustard sauce. This elegant recipe is simple enough for a weeknight but feels special enough for a dinner party.
Chocolate Brownies
These foolproof brownies are decadently rich and fudgy. I tested many variations to find the perfect blend of ingredients – white sugar adds sweetness, brown sugar adds a caramel twist and the mascarpone ensures the brownie isn’t dry. The Kahlua ganache is the cherry on top!
Duck ragu
Elevate your pasta to a new level with this rich and luxurious duck ragu! Slow cooking makes this easy – the duck legs infuse the sauce with flavour while becoming so tender that the meat will melt in your mouth. This is a great recipe to impress friends and family, but also easy enough to make on a weekday when you’re craving comfort food.
Crispy roast potatoes
The perfect roast potato has a crispy, golden exterior that gives way to a soft and fluffy interior. A must to pair with roasts, but honestly – sometimes these steal the show! With my tips, you can cook perfect, crispy roast potatoes every time.
Chicken in creamy mushroom sauce
An absolute favourite pairing, pan fried chicken breast in a thick and creamy mushroom sauce. It’s simple yet delicious, and easier to make than you may think.
Scalloped potatoes
This is the only scalloped potatoes recipe you’ll ever need. The potatoes begin cooking directly in the sauce, meaning less oven time and perfectly cooked through creamy potatoes. Layers of cheese add even more flavour, then baked to golden perfection with a crispy cheese top. Perfection!
Pescatore pasta (seafood pasta)
This seafood pasta is decadently rich and packed with luscious creamy flavours, but it’s deceptively quick and easy to make. It’s perfect for a special occasion or just when you feel like indulging in delicious pasta fare.
