New-england/4 recipes

Add a new fruity taste to dinner with this scrumptious dish that gets its amazing flavor from apricot nectar and dry sherry.

Making pot stickers are pretty much as same as making dumplings, the only thing different is how to cook them. Instead of boiling in the water, we fry them in a nonstick skillet with a bit oil, which really develops a layer of golden, brown and crispy bottoms with great texture. Serve these yummy pot stickers with a mixture of rice vinegar, a little bit soy sauce, a dash of sesame oil and splash of hot pepper oil.

This savory tart is a delicious way to cook with your leafy-greens, such as kale, Swiss chard, collards and sweet potato or squash. The balsamic vinegar is used on both cooking greens and caramelizing the onions, which really adds a delicious hint, the feta cheese adds the nice cheesiness and well-balanced saltiness. It can be served as a main dish or a side dish!

Juicy chicken breasts, stuffed with cream cheese and then wrapped in bacon. Just 4 ingredients transform themselves into oozy gooey goodness!

Super quick and easy way to dress up healthy omega 3 filled salmon. Dill, lemon and capers work perfectly with quick broiled salmon.

A little bit of heat with a tangy sweet and sour taste. This cucumber soba salad for sure refreshes your taste buds while satisfies your tummy.

It's hard to go wrong with lots of garlic, then you add some fresh garden-grown rosemary into these lovely fingerling potatoes with all these delicious garlic. Let oven do the final roasting job...

Quick, easy, delicious!

So to start off with the first post, I decided to make a meal that screams of comfort food. Whilst it does take a bit of a while to get the meal done, once you take that first bite, heaven couldn’t seem closer if you were Adam trying to touch God’s finger in the “Creation of Adam” fresco created by Michaelangelo. The meal I speak of is Cottage Pie. There is much debate as to what exactly a cottage pie is and how it is different to a Shepherd’s pie...I don’t know. The dominant theory is that Sheperds pie uses lamb mince, whilst a cottage pie uses beef mince. I don’t know about you, but the term “Sheperds Pie” does not get my tastebuds going quite as well, so I prefer the term cottage pie. Besides, comparing the price of ground (mince) beef to ground lamb, a student would pick up the beef mince in a heartbeat without even so much as glancing at the lamb in the meat section. This cottage pie that I made is full of flavour, and just makes you want to cuddle up next to a fire and watch TCM movies all day either by yourself, or with a significant other. Here is the recipe:
