Versatile Veggie Curry
I have been making a variation of this curry for years now. It’s a recipe I turn to when I don’t know what to make, but have some vegetables on hand and I want something warming and comforting. The vegetables in this recipe are more of a guideline and suggestion, honestly, whatever you have leftover in your fridge should work!
French Girl Tuna Dip
I call this my ‘french girl lunch’. It’s perfectly salty, crunchy and absolutely satisfying. I eat this with crackers or crudité, but it would also make a lovely spread for a baguette or tuna sandwich.
Spicy lemon, ginger and basil turkey stew
For anyone else who sometimes struggles with the holidays: 🍲 Spicy Turkey Stew with Lemon, Ginger, and Basil. It’s easy and mouthwatering, but more importantly, it’s a nourishing process to make for yourself or others.
Babacia's Pierogi - A Polish Family Recipe
I will never forget the amazing pierogi that my babcia used to make. She made all kinds of pierogi - Ruskie (cottage cheese & potato), spinach and cheese, mushroom and cabbage, minced pork... even blueberry pierogi! They are a labour of love but it's all worth it in the end when you realize you've made enough to feed a small village.

Miso soup is traditionally eaten without a spoon as a clear liquid, but this simple recipe also contains mushrooms and tofu to add some protein, texture and substance. It’s ridiculously easy, comforting and perfect for the fall and winter months.

Baked Eggs Florentine
"This is an ode to my euro-leaning cooking style and a reflection of how I think food should be enjoyed - full of fat, and made with whole foods to showcase the ingredients themselves"- Nikita Cyr
Tahini Pistachio Rose Bars
These beautiful bars are packed with pumpkin seeds & tahini, and topped with a sprinkling of pistachios, rose petals and lemon zest. Doesn’t that sound decadent? They are a perfect accompaniment...
Spinach Ricotta Zucchini 'Cannelloni'
Cannelloni is one of my favourite types of pasta. This zucchini, spinach, and ricotta cannelloni is ideal for anyone craving the zesty and comforting aspects of a pasta, but with a lower carb option. We included a vegan option in here for you, too!
