They say ‘carbs are a girl’s best friend’ and there is no argument in that. As I mentioned before there was an Italian eatery in our city that my girls and I would frequent to. One of our most indulgent orders would be this cheese mashed potatoes that came to our table bubbling with cheese, the perfect golden brown colour on top and creamy potatoes inside. I always had a large helping paired with a chili oil and English mustard. Here’s my copycat version

Psst - for the boiled potatoes I used some of the leftover potatoes of Roasted Potatoes

Pesto + Cheese Rolls

I have always been the biggest fan of cinnamon rolls for special occasions, but my general cravings are usually for cheese-y salty, garlicky decadence. and bread is a forever love affair. so this recipe is adapted from one of my original cinnamon roll recipes, but a tad bit sturdier to hold the heavier wet filling these will fly off the cooling rack faster than you can say kitchen therapy!

Leek Mac + Cheese

This is a meal I make often just for myself. I love mac+cheese and it is very much a part of my dinner roster menu. I love mixing it up with various ingredients, but the one I love the most is adding lot's of sautéed leeks which adds such intense flavour and I still feel I have eaten my greens (pls no, don't believe me, this amount is not enough, pls add a green soup on the side!) This recipe mentions macaroni, but I use whatever pasta I have and I am partial to spaghetti at times!

Savoury Potato Cake

A mashed potato cake is a dreamer's paradise. I found an Italian nonna's recipe for a mashed potato bake layered with ham and cheese, baked into a crusty glory - and I had to try it instantly. Of course, I had to add my version with a layer of colourful vegetables in the center and so here we have a baked savoury potato cake! And maybe one day, this version will be Kamini nonna's recipe for my grandchildren ;)
