I know this looks like regular ghee, doesn’t it? But it’s much, much more than that. This, my friends, is brown butter ghee. You know brown butter by the smell, right? When whatever’s in the kitchen smells like it’s so impossibly rich and caramelized and sweet and delicious that you think you actually might burst? That’s how I know brown butter, by the smell that’s almost impossible. And I’d like to say I developed this brown butter ghee recipe on purpose!...
I hope you guys like butternut squash, because my supply of butternut squash ideas is endless, as is my supply of butternut squash.

I later found out that I didn’t have to be polite, because there were boat loads of butternut squash available....
I’ve eaten a lot of hummus in my day, and this one might just be my favorite. Obviously, that’s saying a lot. And it’s Cajun. I didn’t even know I liked Cajun food until I started blogging. I though it was all about seafood. I also had no idea hummus was a Cajun thing. Okay, hummus is not a Cajun thing, or it wasn’t, until today. Sometimes, when I get a weird hummus idea in my head, and I do get weird hummus ideas on occasion, I start to feel pangs of self doubt due to said weirdness....

While some recipes call for adding cooked rice, maybe to use up any leftover rice, I would strongly urge you to use uncooked rice. Let the rice cook with all the base of the soup, the chicken stock, and the spices. The grains, while getting cooked, absorb the flavor and taste delicious. This is an excellent way to use up your leftover chicken, whether it be rotisserie or grilled chicken that you couldn’t finish and have put in the fridge....

This could well be the definition of comfort food. It’s so hearty, so cosy and tastes off-the-scale delicious! Follow me… Chicken Thighs I like to use boneless skinless chicken thighs for this recipe. Thighs come out soft and juicy, and they’re fairly robust too, meaning they’re more difficult to overcook! Whilst it’s hard for the creamy gnocchi not to become the main event of this dish, we still want the chicken to hold its own and really shine through....
