The name ‘chilli con carne’ literally translates as ‘chilli with meat’. The dish originally hails from the border region between Mexico and Texas. Traditional chilli con carne consists of meat, chilli, spices and sauce – the inclusion of beans, sweetcorn or peppers has historically been a matter of debate, but is now widely accepted and I believe anything that tastes good is allowed.
Full of layered complexity and depth, velvety texture and, a rich, full-bodied sauce with a gentle, warming kick, this delicious and satisfying chilli con carne makes a perfect meal that combines braised beef short ribs with classic chilli flavour for family or a causual night with friends. Adding a small spoonful of unsweetened cocoa powder or dark chocolate is a game-changing culinary secret for elevating chilli. It balances the acidity of tomatoes, adds earthiness and a subtle richness that beautifully complements the savory flavuors. Serve the stew as is, or with rice, flatbread or cornbread.

When the golden autumn season sets in and quinces give off their wonderful scent, it’s time for a true classic: the quince streusel tray bake. The slightly tart, fragrant fruits develop their full flavour when cooked and go wonderfully well with a sweet, tender yeast dough and buttery, nutty streusel. This classic quince tray bake is ideal for cosy coffee breaks, family gatherings or simply as a sweet treat to keep on hand throughout the week. Quick to make, easy to prepare and a real eye-catcher on any cake plate. If you don’t have quince paste for the filling, quince marmalade or quince sauce would make an effective alternative. In that case, leave out the lemon juice and water from the list of ingredients.

Bœuf à la Mode is a classic French pot roast braised in red wine, herbs, and aromatics. The rich, fork-tender beef is seasoned, seared, and cooked low and slow for 3-4 hours, depends on the cut of beef you use. This is a delicous yet very easy recipe for when you're too lazy to do much cooking. If you have time, marinate the beef roast with red wine, stock and bouquet garni for a few hours. Don’t skip or rush the initial browning of the beef. This step creates the Maillard reaction, developing deep, complex flavours that form the foundation of the classic French dish. Bon appétit!

Coffee isn’t only meant for breakfast! Ground coffee powder makes a truly tasty spice rub that creates a deeply savory crust on meat, adding a rich, smoky, and earthy depth that you can't get from salt and pepper alone. These coffee rubbed lamb chops are infused with warming, fragrant spices and rich coffee grounds for a flavour that's both unique and delicious.

An indulgent but easy and speedy steak dinner featuring succulent steak, earthy, meaty chanterelles and mellow onion. Stir-fry cooks up pretty quickly so have all the ingredients prepared and ready before you turn on the heat. I used chuck steak, but ribeye, flank steak or even fillet all work well. Serve them with egg noodles or steamed rice.

This French bistro-inspired chicken recipe from Food and Wine delivers everything you want for a low effort yet delicious and comforting weeknight meal. The bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are browned until golden, then nestled into a luscious sauce brightened and balanced with white balsamic vinegar and finished with herbs and crème fraîche. Sweet, meltingly creamy leeks and bright green peas add freshness and balance the richness of the dish. If you don’t have tarragon, use fennel fonds or add a tiny pinch of anise seed to replicate its signature sweet, licorice-like flavour.

Sweet, savoury and spicy, this chicken traybake is not only delicious, also ready in 30 minutes and makes a great weeknight meal. Use homemade sugar free chilli sauce if you can, otherwise, storebought one will work in a pinch. Chinese broccoli or gailan will be ideal for the recipe, but other veggies like broccolini, pakchoi or asparagus are nice substitutes. It’s naturally glutenfree and keto-friendly.

Rich chicken livers are a perfect match with bitter, peppery arugula, sweet earthy figs (or refreshingly tangy grapefruit) in this warm, nutritious salad with a sweet pomegranate dressing. It’s easy to make, delicious and so versatile. Feel free to add some boiled green beans, sliced mushrooms, onions or fennel to make the salad even more interesting and fun to eat. For extra crunch and texture, sprinkle some toasted nuts over.
Chicken liver, aka "nature's multivitamin" is an exceptionally healthy, one of the most nutrient-dense superfood available.
Pomegranate molasses (available on Amazon or middle eastern grocery stores) is reduced pomegranate juice that’s dark, intensely tart, fruity with subtle sweetness. A little bit of pomegranate molasses goes a long way for the dressing. When buying pomegrante molasses, make sure you get the one made from 100% pomegranate.

This savoury tart combines earthy, golden chanterelle mushrooms with a keto pork rind pastry crust and a sharp, nutty, and complex vintage Cheddar. You can of course substitute it with Västerbotten or Gruyère or use a mixture of all of them. If you don’t follow keto diet, then a homemade buttery pastry crust would be perfect for the recipe too. Use other wild mushrooms for the topping if chanterelle ain’t available.
