Cheesy Cauliflower Toast
I’ve probably mentioned this before, Barefoot Contessa Ina Garten is my all-time favorite celebrity chef!. I love watching her shows on Food Network. Ina’s soothing voice, her serene kitchen, her use of all-natural ingredients, her adorable husband Jeffrey, I could go on about why I like Ina Garten. I’ve also mentioned that though I love her recipes they do tend to be more meat heavy. However that has never deterred me from making her recipes, I just improvise and omit the meat and substitute with something vegetarian. This cauliflower toast on the other hand is one of Ina’s vegetarian recipes! The moment I saw her making it on one of her newer episodes I knew I had to try it right away. A gooey cheesy toast all topped with roasted cauliflower looked so good folks, that my mouth was salivating 😋! Continue reading Cheesy Cauliflower Toast

Kale and Shallot Quiche
This is one of those recipes that I whipped up on one of my lazy cooking days. I was late getting dinner ready and needed to make something with minimal effort, and this kale and shallot quiche was the delicious result. An easy and lazy recipe because I was so lazy that I didn’t even bother to use my hand blender to whip the eggs and cream together. I just cooked the kale with shallots and garlic and then let it to cool for a few minutes. Added in eggs, a splash of cream and shredded cheese. Then I mixed everything together with a fork and poured it into a readymade tart shell and baked. Honestly, this is the easiest and laziest quiche I have ever made and surprisingly given my lack of usual fanfare it turned out delicious! Continue reading Kale and Shallot Quiche

Mediterranean Roasted Veggie Tart
Good Monday to you all. I hope you had a relaxing weekend and are ready for the week ahead. Today I would like to share a recipe for a delicious tart with loads of vegetables and full of flavor. My friend Rose brought this gorgeous vegetable tart to our Spring Tea Brunch last year that looked right out of a magazine! This tart looked so good that I’ve been wanting to make it for some time, but when Rose mentioned that it was a time consuming recipe, I stayed away from trying. But with more time on my hands now I ventured to give this recipe a try and you know what? Once you get the hang of making it once or twice, it’s actually easier than the recipe looks.

Vegetable Lasagna
Lasagna is one of those classic decadent pasta dishes that everyone loves, interestingly however it never appealed to me much as the veggie version always seemed overly stuffed with cheese that even when it was called a veggie lasagna there was very little vegetables in it. I’ve tried over the years many veggie lasagnas and have come to the conclusion that restaurants don’t do vegetarian lasagna very good. Their meat based lasagnas are always a hit (or so I hear), but veggie lasagnas? Not so. Consequently I never bothered making lasagna at home, having not had anything worthwhile, I really didn’t have any incentive to try and replicate a cool restaurant veggie lasagna. That is until I saw this post from my friend Padmini on her Instagram feed plates.by.patty.
