EGYPTIAN CHICKEN & TURMERIC BASMATI RICE

My Egyptian chicken and turmeric basmati rice recipe is a labor of love, inspired by a street vendor we found during our wanderings around New York City.

After returning home, I couldn't resist the challenge of recreating those mouthwatering flavours. The secret? A peppered white sauce that adds a creamy kick, and a drizzle of homemade chili oil for that perfect spicy touch. Topped with the freshness of shredded iceberg lettuce and a cucumber tomato salad, this dish is so stinking good!

THE BEST HOMEMADE ITALIAN(ish) MEATBALLS

No need for processed, run of the mill frozen meatballs from the grocery store! Making your own delicious and tender homemade meatballs is easy and will be a family favourite. My slightly twisted version of Italian meatballs are also very versatile.

Simmer them in your favourite marinara or bolognese sauce, serve them with a rich mushroom gravy or even use them in a meatball sub sandwich!

They also freeze extremely well for busy work days. Just defrost in the fridge overnight and serve them your favourite way.
