Though Scandinavian cuisine has gotten a turn-of-the-century facelift through the Michelin-starred restaurant, Noma, there's really nothing better on a cold, snowy day than a cozy, hearty chowder loaded with potatoes and tender fish. In Nordic countries, where salmon, cod, crab, and potatoes are staples, hearty soups and creamy stews using local ingredients are just as common as meticulously-plated elk medallions and sliced truffles.  Continue Reading

Roasted Sausages with apples

These pork sausages are perfectly baked together with apples, fingerling potatoes, baby carrots and lots of fresh herbs, all in one pan making it super easy for cleanup and ready in just 35 minutes!

Greek Pork Tenderloin Medallions

The herbed gravy is so good you may find yourself doubling it. Goes well with a rice pilaf or a Greek salad pita bread.

Greek Orzo Stuffed Bell Peppers

These Greek Orzo Stuffed Bell Peppers are quick, simple, vegetarian, healthy, and very good. Slow roasted peppers stuffed with greek orzo, feta cheese, and topped with fresh lemony basil tomatoes. Summer dinner perfection!

Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Healthy broccoli cheddar soup packed with carrots, broccoli, garlic, and cheese.

Carrot Cake

A cake that is made from scratch, easy to make, and utterly delicious.

Italian Skillet Chicken

Flavor-packed skillet chicken dinner with an Italian twist! Chicken cutlets, pan-seared and finished in a white wine sauce with garlic, tomatoes, mushrooms and more!

Potato Cakes with Smoked Salmon

Irish potato cakes, or farls, make a delicious base for these smoked salmon, cream cheese and caperberry canapés - simply slice into squares and serve

Bake the jacket potatoes up to 2 days ahead and store in the fridge. Once you've baked the potato base, you can leave it in the fridge overnight too. Simply prepare the topping before serving.

The quantities can be fairly easily halved for a smaller batch.

Chicken Cutlets with Grape-Shallot Sauce

This quick sauté pairs wine and grapes in a luscious sauce for pan-seared chicken breasts. This is simple enough for a weeknight, but elegant enough for entertaining.

Caramelized Squash Salad

The butternut squash cleans up very nicely after its bath in the marinade!
