Instead of take-out or eating out, use a few veggies, some ground beef and raid your stash of condiments to cook up this smoky, spicy-sweet noodle dish. Tip: Cut the veggies and whisk up the simple sauce the night before so you get dinner on the table as fast as take out. Recipe adapted from the original developed by Life with Fariha.
These South Asian inspired beef kebabs are more patty-like rather than those on a skewer. These are oh-so flavourful and juicy and are quick and easy to make. Serve with a salad and warm garlic naan. Try them once and they are sure to make it onto your dinner table often. Re-purpose extra patties to make quick personal pizzas (see below).
With familiar flavours of the classic crispy potatoes, seasoned rice, classic white sauce and a quick stir-fry of spiced beef, you can create your own take-put style shawarma platters easily at home. Start the rice and potatoes cooking while you prepare the sauce and beef to make dinner less time than going out. Make a chopped veggie salad (see Tip) and serve extra tahini alongside.

Just because the days of serving punch in a bowl are over, doesn’t mean those flavours have to end! This recipe is perfect for those nostalgic vibes, easy clean up, and a ‘set it and forget it’ meal in the summer time. Pro Tip: This BBQ sauce can also be frozen in small freezer-safe jars for future use, and pulled out whenever you need a little flavour boost!

If you love Thai takeout as much as I do, you’ll love making this Thai-Style Green Curry Meatball dish at home—it’s super quick and easy! Serve with basmati rice. Recipe adapted from the original developed by Life with Fariha. Note: Cook times suggested are based on a counter-top family-size air fryer**; times will vary with different appliances so always check for doneness with a reliable digital instant-read thermometer and texture cues and adjust cook time as necessary.
Looking for the perfect weeknight dinner that doubles as a next-day packable lunch? This is it! Made with sunflower seeds, this pesto is a nut-free, school-safe (and much less expensive) version of the original. Pro Tip: don’t over blend your pesto or it’ll end up becoming too smooth and not the most pleasant texture. Pesto was originally made in a mortar and pestle to make a coarse paste. Today, many people make the mistake of over-blending with a machine and it ends of becoming ‘blend-o’ instead of ‘pest-o’. If you have a mortar and pestle at home, feel free to use them instead of a food processor! The pasta salad and steak can be refrigerated overnight and served cold or at room temperature for lunch the next day. Tomato Tip: Since tomatoes lose a lot of their garden-fresh flavour when refrigerated, add the tomatoes only when you’re ready to eat.
Ditch the take-out and make this delicious curry at home instead – it comes together in under an hour. Serve with the traditional accompaniment of rice or naan, or even with thick slices of sourdough bread. Recipe adapted from the original developed by Life with Fariha.
A quick soak in alkaline solution made with baking soda is a common Chinese culinary technique called “velveting”. The alkaline modifies the protein structure of the meat to boost juiciness, tenderness, and optimize browning. Prep the vegetables while the beef marinates and you’ll have this restaurant favourite on the table in no time. Recipe adapted from the original developed by Christina Chow.
A pub classic, made even better with juicy, succulent cubes of grilled steak. These crowd-pleasing morsels are perfect for game day, or even just a regular Tuesday! These are best served fresh, but we can’t deny that something just hits right about them eaten cold out of the fridge, too. Pro Tip: don’t waste the potato you scoop out! Use it for soups, bake it into breads or as a binder in a vegetable fritter! 6 medium (about 2 to 3 inches/5 to 7.5 cm) yellow flesh or russet potatoes.
This prized steak makes an impressive gift for the beef-lover in your life! Just ask that it be vacuum packed so it can last in the fridge a week or so or wrap it well to freeze. Cooking a thick-cut steak like Tomahawk is easy once you adopt the reverse-sear method for cooking it. The sweet and tangy board sauce is a unique no-fuss way to dress up any big beefy steak!
Use some Asian Beef Mixture for tonight’s stir-fry supper and form the rest into Baked Spring Rolls or Asian Pot Stickers. Place them, uncooked, in airtight containers in single layer; refrigerate for up to one day or freeze for up to three months.

This Petite Tender has all the flavours we love about a warming bowl of spiced nuts, but in a juicy, tender roast. Pro Tip: peeling cipollini onions can be tricky because of their size and delicate skin. To make it easier, blanch them for 30 seconds in boiling water, then submerge in an ice bath to cool and the skins will slip right off!
