Hi, I’m Taly
And welcome to my Kitchen.
I have always enjoyed cooking, it fills me with joy to give treats away or cook someone a meal made with love. Sharing my easy and delicious recipes has always been a dream of mine. Creating recipes that anyone can cook, showing how to present food and reducing food waste are all important to me.

Menus
I adore a garden party! This menu showcases the beautiful flower blooms, herbs, and vegetables from the garden, beginning with a crisp and refreshing Cucumber Mint Mojito. If you enjoy a hint of spice, then the Cucumber Salsa and Spicy Cucumber Margarita are perfect choices! Rosemary is my most cherished herb; it enhances dishes like Rosemary Cashews, Marinated Mozzarella, and Skewered Monkfish. For simplicity, try the Yogurt Marinated Chicken. Prepare it the night before, then grill it when your guests arrive; however, it's just as delightful at room temperature. Serve it wrapped in Flatbreads and topped with Tzatziki. Finish on a high note with a stunning Blackberry Cake adorned with sweet White Chocolate Buttercream. Embrace the floral notes with Lavender Lemon Cookies and indulge in a full bouquet of flavor with a pitcher of Lavender Haze. Utilizing fresh chives from the garden always yields incredible butter, vinegar, and vinaigrette. Combine them with mayonnaise for a Creamy Chive Potato Salad.
Irish Cream…. the star of the show! A must to make Irish Cream Meringue with Chocolate Sauce, Baileys Fudge Chocolate or my favorite Nutty Irish Coffee. The Brown Bread and Soda Bread are both quick breads, and they are delicious. Cottage Pie, Corned Beef, and Bacon and Cabbage are all perfect for any St. Patrick’s Day celebration. Actually, the cottage pie is on weekly rotation in our home, So Good! This menu wouldn’t be complete without potatoes, the Savory Mince with Cheesy Potato Wedges ticks all the boxes and the Creamy Leek Tart is a delicious vegeterian option. This menu wouldn’t be me if I didn’t throw a bit of America in with these adorable Lucky Charm Cookies. They go great with an Irish Coffee as do my Sour Cream Crumb Cake. Loving this menu, Enjoy!
Love is in the air!! Well, at least the smell of delicious food. Start with my absolute favorite cocktail, Sparkling Cosmopolitan Pitcher, for a sweeter drink, serve my Raspberry Rum Cocktail. Serve your special someone this tender Fillet of Beef along with Balsamic Caramelized Shallots, Salted Fried Potatoes, Garlic Lemon Broccoli Stems, and some warm Cheddar Chive Scones. Finish on a high, a sugar high that is. Ultimate Chocolate Brownies with Raspberry Coulis spread on top, Chocolate Covered Strawberries, and Chocolate Truffles. My favorite White Chocolate Coconut Truffles.
Let’s get game day ready with these delicious recipes! Start by serving your guest with a beer cocktail, along with cheesy appetizers, pub style hot wings, meat filled sliders, vegetable dips and sweet potato fries. Leave a big bowl of Guinness Beef Chili on the counter with all the fixings for everyone to enjoy. When dinners done Sheet Pan Frosted Brownies will serve a crowd along with Chocolate Peanut Butter Chow and Espresso Martinis to keep the party going.
With just a few ingredients on a sheet pan, you’ll get a delicious sandwich that’s perfect for lunch or dinner.
