Lemon Spaghetti with Feta and Shrimp

This Lemon Spaghetti with Feta and Shrimp is one of my all-time favourite recipes. I first shared a version years ago, but it's even better now thanks to one simple ingredient: Macedonian feta.

Steak and Onion Stir-Fry

What a fabulous stir-fry! You’ll want to make it again and again. The lemon with the steak is incredible, and the combination of tender beef, crunchy celery, caramelized onions, and scallions is just delicious. The whole thing comes together so quickly. Just prep your ingredients, get your pan nice and hot, and have fun!

Lemon Honey Chicken with Bacon and Parsnip Mash

This recipe is so appreciated with my family and friends I have been asked for the recipe many times over, so it just seemed fitting to introduce it here. The flavours are unforgettable – chicken, honey, lemon, combine beautifully to create a distinct taste perfectly balanced with the smoky, salty richness of crisped bacon. Yum!

Baking & Desserts

Mari’s Best Salted Chocolate Cream Pie

The trick is to add Maldon sea salt flakes to the layer of chocolate before adding the whipping cream, of course you can also add a few flakes to the top of the chocolate shavings. It’s magical.

Mains

Perfect Roast Turkey

If you’re going to go for it and roast a whole turkey, here’s my best recipe for the juiciest bird with crisp, golden skin everyone loves. Even the turkey critics!

And the best part? It's surprisingly easy to make, even if you've never roasted a turkey before.

Classic Apple Pie

No one ever says no to apple pie with ice cream. Here’s my recipe for traditional apple pie, made with fresh-picked apples and the flakiest homemade pastry. It's heartwarming, delicious and well worth the effort.

Salads & Soups

Kale & Radicchio Salad with Sour Dough Croutons

I can’t get enough of this delicious fall salad. It’s fresh, crunchy and so good.

Tuscan kale, red radicchio and crisp fennel come together with sweet little Zante currants and the most delicious dressing. But the game changer is the croutons.

Overnight Pork Roast

This recipe was inspired by Amanda Hesser’s Overnight Roast, which she told me was her favourite in her first cookbook. I made a few changes, especially to the marinade, only because I didn’t have maple syrup on hand and I had run out of thyme leaves. But when I want to make something, I have to make it now!
