Creamy Lemon Tahini Hummus
This hummus is whipped in stages: lemon juice and tahini first, then chickpeas, then cold water for a lighter, spoonable texture. Garlic and cumin keep the flavour direct and savoury.
Peanut Ginger Dipping Sauce
A smooth, savoury peanut sauce sharpened with rice vinegar and fresh ginger, with just enough maple syrup to round off the soy sauce. It clings well to dumplings and bao, yet stays loose enough for sushi rolls.
High-Protein Skyr Tzatziki with Cucumber and Dill
A thick, chilled tzatziki with crisp grated cucumber, bright lemon, dill, and enough garlic to make it clear this is not a dessert yogurt situation. Skyr gives the familiar tang and a serious protein lift.
Simple Fermented Cabbage with Carrot and Garlic
This is the kind of old-school kitchen trick that turns a cheap cabbage into something sharp, crunchy, and oddly satisfying a few days later. Salt does the work, time does the magic, and modern packaged “gut health” marketing can take the evening off. The carrot softens the bite, the garlic adds depth, and the result is a bright, tangy ferment that wakes up grain bowls, soups, or a fried egg if life gets messy.
Homemade Spaghetti Spice Mix
A dry Italian-style seasoning blend for pasta nights when the sauce needs backup and the supermarket jar of "Italian seasoning" tastes like packaging dust. This one is bold on herbs, light on nonsense, and useful for spaghetti, tomato sauces, lentils, or roasted vegetables.
Indian Curry Yogurt Lime Salad Dressing
A sharp, creamy dressing for people who want their salad to taste like actual food. Yogurt brings tang and body, lime keeps it awake, and curry powder brings it all together.
Harissa, Lemon & Yogurt Salad Dressing
Creamy, sharp, and properly awake. This is the sort of dressing that rescues a bowl of leaves from tasting like refrigerated regret.
Sweet Tikka Masala Spice Mix
A cozy, fragrant tikka masala-style spice mix with garam masala, cumin, coriander, paprika, and a small touch of brown sugar to round out the edges. It is sweet-leaning rather than fiery, which is handy when feeding children, spice skeptics, or adults who talk big and then reach for yogurt. Make a small jar once, and future dinners get dramatically easier with very little emotional labor.
Tex-Mex Spice Mix
A quick homemade Tex-Mex spice mix that leans big on smoky warmth, skips the mystery additives, and takes about five minutes to make. It is punchy enough for beans, roasted vegetables, tacos, soups, and the occasional weeknight rescue mission when plain food starts feeling like a personal attack.
Little-Garlic Fresh Tomato Sauce
A simple plant-forward tomato sauce with fresh Tomatoes, Onions, a restrained cameo from Garlic, Olive Oil, Basil, and Salt. It is bright, spoonable, and simply good.
