This goat stew is based on a Filipino dish called caldereta. It is usually served with rice. The serving size for this recipe is 2 to 4, depending on how much bone the meat has. Serve over rice. Masarap!

Easy Lemon Blueberry Muffins

My family loves these lemon blueberry muffins so much! The trick to the best lemon flavor is making our simple lemon sugar! When baking this recipe, you can make 10 standard-size muffins or fill the cups a bit more and make 8 larger muffins with big, beautiful bakery-style tops. (I’ve also included tips for mini muffins in the recipe below!). When measuring the flour for these muffins, either weigh it or use the “spoon and level” method shared in our tips section below.

Pasta pomodoro

Pasta pomodoro is the original – and best – tomato pasta. This recipe is quick and easy but uses a few tricks to really amp up the flavour. Toasting the tinned tomatoes without their liquid introduces gentle caramelisation; cooking the basil stalks and reserving the leaves at the end provides a double layer of fragrance and adding a knob of butter at the end ensures a glossy, rich finish.

Cinnamon Pancakes

My family loves this cinnamon pancake recipe. Since cinnamon rolls inspire them, the batter adds a whole tablespoon of cinnamon, and then we top the cooked pancakes with a sweet cream cheese glaze.

Birria de Chivo Estilo Jalisco (Mexican Braised Goat)

Goat meat marinated in a sauce with ancho chiles and spices, then slowly braised until soft. This traditional dish known as birria is always accompanied with refried beans and corn tortillas, and is normally served for special occasions.

Fennel tarte tatin

You’ve probably sliced fennel paper thin to use as the star ingredient in a sophisticated Mediterranean salad, but there’s plenty more you can do with fennel bulbs – like this golden fennel tarte tatin.

Quinoa Perfectly

This easy stovetop quinoa recipe is what did it for me. The quinoa cooks up to be light and fluffy without being mushy or bitter. Use water or add more flavor with broth. I love this veggie broth or homemade chicken broth. While the stovetop is my preferred method, since sharing this recipe and a few reader requests, we have added three more methods for cooking quinoa below: in the microwave, Instant Pot, and a rice cooker.

Feta Tzatziki

We love this thick, creamy tzatziki with feta cheese and fresh herbs! It’s delicious as a sauce or dip with veggies, pita chips, grilled meats, and sandwiches.

Jamaican Curried Goat

He likes this Jamaican curried goat recipe hot, I like it good. We compromise on jalapeño peppers.

Melon, smoked chicken and grape salad

This chicken salad is refreshing and totally fit for summer. The recipe comes from food writer Debora Robertson, who says: “I have been making this salad, and versions of this salad, for decades, ever since I shared a flat with a Southern Belle from Virginia in my second year at university. Once she made it for a lunch with some fellow Americans. One took a bite and declared ‘Mary Martha, I believe you must have been to a lot of debutante lunches this summer’. Whether you’re a southern debutante or not, it’s entirely appropriate for the season.”

Fluffy Buckwheat Pancakes

These buckwheat pancakes are light and fluffy and made entirely from scratch. They’re not too sweet and are scented with vanilla, making them extra delicious. I highly recommend our blend of buckwheat flour and all-purpose flour (or GF all-purpose flour). The blend will make fluffier, more tender pancakes. As the pancake batter sits, the buckwheat flour absorbs the moisture in the batter, so you might notice that it gets a bit thicker than you’d like to pour into your skillet. If this happens to you, add a tablespoon (or more) of milk to thin it out again.
