There’s something truly special about cooking for loved ones, especially when they’ve traveled from afar. My niece, visiting from California, grew up just a few hundred feet from my home, and having her back always brings joy and nostalgia. She has always loved my mushroom and chicken pasta, so I wanted to make it for her—but with a twist. Instead of the usual cream, I opted for ricotta to create a rich yet lighter sauce. The result? A luscious, flavor-packed pasta dish perfect for feeding a crowd.

There’s nothing quite like the rich aroma of beef stew simmering away on a cold day. This Caramelized Onion and Mushroom Beef Stew is everything you want in a winter comfort meal—deeply flavorful, tender chunks of beef, and layers of sweet, caramelized onions with earthy mushrooms.
I have worked hard to find a balance when making this recipe, it can be so delicious or so blah. I like the latter, it has to be delicious, shrimp are not a cheap ingredient, I hate not bringing the best out of an ingredient, I feel I am cheating it out of its glory.

Ever so often I go for something different, in this case the Philly Steak Pizza, The sauce is a common garlic white cheese sauce, sounds complicated, but it isn't, it is basic recipe you would use to make Mac n' cheese, so don't let that deter you.
