Are you on team muffins or team cupcakes? Personally I prefer unfrosted muffins with a classic domed muffin top to cupcakes, which can be quite sugary sweet and unhealthy, though much more decorative and prettier. You can add nuts, seeds, fruits or other mix-ins to make muffins really interesting and less guilty. The batter of these muffins come together really quickly. However, I decided to make these muffins with creaming method, so the texture is much more airy and lighter, and add a coconut macaroon top, just for fun and extra chew. If you want to use muffin-method (combine the dry and wet ingredients separately, then combine them), you definitely can.

This nutty fruity crumb cake is perfect for brunch, as a dessert or an afternoon pick-me-up. They are scrumptious by themselves, with some clotted cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Instead of butter, I used tahini to make the streusel, and sweetened the whole cake with a mix of date syrup and erythritol. If you want to make this gluten free, replace white spelt flour with oat flour.

These rye cookies are soft and gooey in the center, and crunchy around the edges. The dough uses a combination of medium rye flour and plain flour. Rye flour has a nutty, earthy, and characteristic malty taste that brings out the best in ingredients like chocolate, butter and warm spices. The low-gluten of rye gives these cookies a delicate and unique chewy texture that’s hard to beat. It also absorbs more water, making these cookies very moist and tender. Use dark chocolate or other dried fruit if you wish.

Chocolate cake is probably on many hobby bakers' must-make list. But if a simple chocolate cake isn’t interesting enough for you, you can simply pimp up the cake recipe with a few fruits - for example with delicious blueberries. This chocolate blueberry cake is so quick and easy to make! The super moist sponge with chocolate tastes so delicious with fresh berries. It is perfect at any time of year, but especially in summer when the blueberries are at their juiciest. However, the cake also works perfectly with other seasonal fruit or alternatively with dried fruit. This cake is a hit at any party, over a cosy coffee with friends and family or as the highlight of a festive brunch. Fresh blueberries bring freshness and antioxidants to the cake, while dark chocolate adds that little something extra.
Keto Salmon Kiev

Oozing with a flavorful butter-herb mixture, this keto-friendly fish version of this classic is definitely a winner. Perfect for entertaining or any weekday meal that will keep you satiated and energised. Butter mixture can be prepared beforehand and stored in the fridge until needed. The only thing I might change next time is to use MORE butter for the filling. If you want a thicker crust, then do a double crumb. You could serve this salmon Kiev with anything your heart desires, but a light salad or some blanched beans or asparagus would keep things really nutritious and healthy.
Spiced Chicken with Nocellara Walnut Vinaigrette

This simple spiced chicken is a super easy and scrumptious dinner made by roasting overnight-marinated bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, then pairing with an earthy nocellara green olive walnut vinaigrette. Serve it with your desired sides, either rice, pasta, bread or just some roasted vegetables.
Grown in Castelvetrano, Sicily, Nocellara olives are picked young and cured in lightly salted brine, giving them their beautifuly bright green colour as well as their mild, buttery, meaty flavour.

Fresh, nutty and so crunchy, this simple Asian salad is great for a light lunch or as a side for some grilled meat. It’s a chore to snap off the stringy tails of mung bean sprouts, but they look prettier and taste so much better without tails. If you can’t find fresh baby corn, then use canned one, but the taste and texture won’t be the same.
Roast Chicken Thighs with Chocolate Mole

Comforting, deeply savoury, and extremely delicious, this chicken smothered with a chocolate mole, aka mole negro, is made with layers of complex and bold flavours. The sauce is not only great for chicken, pork, also great to jazz up the root vegetables. And of course you can spoon the sauce over the beans too. Use different kinds of dried chillies if you have, otherwise, a single kind would work just fine.
Pumpkin Cheddar Bread

Soft and tender pumpkin Cheddar yeast bread made from scratch. It’s delicious fresh or toasted and perfect for breakfast or sandwich. I used mashed roasted pumpkin, so it’s probably drier than the canned one. Adjust the liquid if necessary. Bold, sharp vintage Cheddar provides a nice contrast to the sweet creamy pumpkin, but you can use other aged cheese too.
Korma Baked Eggplant

Korma, or qorma (means 'to braise', or pan-sear) is a luxurious Indian curry, either meat, fish or vegetables, known for its harmonious blend of spices and a delicate, creamier, richer sauce that is made with ingredients such as cream, yoghurt, and/or nuts (cashews and almonds), while regular curry usually has a thinner sauce made with tomatoes, onions, and spices.
This eggplant korma recipe is made with classic Indian spices and ingredients, with eggplants baked instead of braised, with a homemade korma paste and coconut cream. It’s creamy, nutty and so flavourful. If you prefer milder curries, then this is the right one and perfect for kids too.
Tikka Chicken Wings with Seeded Topping and Saffron Yoghurt

Marinate chicken wings in tikka masala overnight then roasted in the oven the next day and served over a bed of thick saffron yoghurt and some crunchy seeds. They are truly the flavour bombs. The chiken needs to be roasted on a lower heat to prevent the spicy crust burning before the chicken is fully cooked through. The yoghurt needs to be started one day ahead and the chicken is also best left in the marinade overnight or at least 4 hours. If you want to use chiken thighs or drumsticks, then adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Agedashi Eggplant

Agedashi meaning “fried and soaked in dashi stock” is a traditional and delicious Japanese favorite. Dashi powder can be easily found online (got mine from Amazon) or in Asian grocery stores. Or substitute it with chicken stock. Sprinkle with bonito flakes instead of sesame seeds if you can find some.
