Cod is the Plain Jane white fish of the sea so imagine this is its chance for a makeover. For tonight dinner, confit (which means to cook in fat) filets of cod using extra virgin olive oil, herbs, spices and aromatic lemon slices to create a pantry driven dish that feels elegant and oh-so- French.

I mean, is there any dish sexier (but not sexy looking) than Coq Au Vin? It's like the sexy bed head of culinary world. Its got this element you can't get unless there's a little rough and tumble. Soak this chicken in wine overnight. If you don't want to make your own stock - that's ok, I don't judge. The secret ingredients are mustard and castelvetrano olives. 

This 5-ingredient tart is insanely easy and good. Buy store bought pie crust for an even easier weeknight 'I-just-need-dessert-after-dinner' craving.

A whole new take on nachos with these potatoes. Simple to throw together and extra delicious, spicy and (somewhat) healthy. It’s like putting a salad on cheese fries – BAM!

Why make three dishes when you can make 1? This dish is the equivalent to Linguine & Clams marrying Cacio e Pepe and having an affair with Mac & Cheese. It’s. Just. Perfection. This is what 2017 was made of.

The poster child of summer snacking? Yep, that’d be watermelon.

Cake can get boring. There, I said it. Instead make your dinner spread a little more unique… and interactive. 

Take your coffee cake from teatime to cocktail hour with this boozy cake.
