Muffuletta Sandwich

Muffulettas are a classic New Orleans sandwich that pack so much flavour and highlights your favourite deli meats! This is personally one of my favourite sandwiches, because I love anything to do with with pickled veg, and olives! The olive salad combines all the best condiments and truly brings all the flavour to the sandwich!

Greek-Inspired Chicken Cutlet Plates

This is the perfect spring meal, implementing some delicious, in-season produce like, arugula, radishes, spring onions, and fresh herbs! One of my favourite chicken dishes is chicken souvlaki, and since we’re treating our chicken cutlets like so, they retain all that flavour, with an extra crispy texture. If you have ever had a chicken cutlet that had no flavour, you’ll LOVE this recipe.

Cheese Cappelletti

As a kid, our family would always go to East Side Mario’s for a cheap and easy meal (especially in the early 2000’s), and the only thing I would order was the cheese cappelletti. It’s a comforting, delicious meal, with cheesy stuffed pasta, tossed in a rosé sauce, with melted cheese on top. If that wasn’t enough, you also got it topped with lots of fresh parmesan, because there can never be enough cheese. Truly.

Savoury Crepes

Crepes are so easy, light and delicious. It’s one of my favourite breakfasts to make on the weekend when I have more time and I can make breakfast for my loved ones! Sweet crepes are amazing (you can use this recipe for them) but sometimes I prefer a savoury crepe that is cheesy, with a runny egg. If you’ve ever been intimidated by making crepes, try this recipe for a trial run!
