Napoli sauce
This is the BEST homemade napoli sauce! I spent many years trying to perfect this Italian staple (I tried fresh tomatoes, even fresh homegrown tomatoes), and to my surprise, this resultant recipe was actually impossibly easy. This is great over fresh pasta, on pizza bases, chicken parmigianas… the list goes on. I try to always have a batch of this in my freezer.
Parmesan stock
Parmesan stock (or parmesan broth) is a more robust spin on vegetable stock, and a fantastic way to use up cheese rinds (never throw these umami bombs away – freeze them until you’re making this stock or a hearty sauce). This stock doesn’t have a ‘cheesy’ flavour, but the rinds give it an intense savoury flavour which is perfect for sauces, risottos and pastas. I often use this in place of chicken stock.
Vegetable stock
A few years ago, I never would have bothered making my own stock; I assumed the time and effort was not worth it, and the quality would not be substantially different from store-bought. Now, I’m a convert. It’s super easy to make and the result is a stock with much richer, deeper flavour. It’s also economical and a great way to use up leftover vegetables.
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.
Caprese pasta
This easy Caprese pasta is bursting with flavour from juicy tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and fragrant basil, which all cooks together in one pot for a quick and delicious weeknight meal.
Roast pumpkin soup
Pumpkin soup is a staple for chilly nights. The pumpkin itself lends creamy and savoury flavours, but roasting it adds a caramelised twist. The addition of a few extra vegetables adds more depth and elevates this dish to peak comfort food status.
Creamy lemon pasta
This zingy pasta has triple lemon flavour – from zest, juice and using the lemon carcasses to infuse even more flavour into the sauce while it cooks. And it all comes together in one pot, in just 30 minutes. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
Granola
This incredibly versatile homemade granola recipe tastes so much better than store bought, and it’s also much cheaper to make yourself. Change up the ingredients and flavours to suit your own taste.
