A celebration of summer! A creamy mousse-like VERY mangoey filling on a biscuit base topped with a beautiful mango jelly, piles of whipped cream, more mango and passionfruit. Toppings are optional - it's stunning without, prettier with! Recipe VIDEO below.

Recipe video above. The most amazing quick and easy roasted carrots! Roasting brings out the best in carrots, always. And the caramelised edges are the BEST - it's the only way I make Glazed Carrots!

Recipe video above. The ultimate potato bake, created by the French!!! Potato + cream + cheese with a hint of garlic and thyme = pure heaven. Based on Julia Child's Potato Dauphinoise recipe. This is THE perfect make ahead potato dish, the most luxurious of all potato casseroles, the better version of Scalloped Potatoes!Authenticity note: traditional Dauphinoise in France does not contain cheese. But I could never imagine making it without..... It makes it better. You know it does!

The first in a series of Throw Together Salads that require little to no chopping. Budget friendly and quick to make! Serves 4 as a side or 2 as a light lunch.

RECIPE VIDEO ABOVE. Baked ham made easy! The most incredible ham glaze ever with a subtle perfurme from maple and festive spices. If using a larger ham, use recipe Scaler (click on Servings and slide). Recipe will serve 30 - 40 with another main and sides, or 25 if it's the only main. New to Glazed Ham? Start here -> Guide to Making Glazed HamDon't have maple syrup? Use honey, or make a classic Brown Sugar Mustard Glazed Ham.

Recipe video above. The easiest, no-fuss way to make sticky Honey Soy Wings in the oven. Don't you hate it when you're promised sticky wings but the sauce stays watery and never thickens?? Trick is to just pour off chicken juices partway through cooking. Easy!Serve with fried rice or Vermicelli Noodle Salad for a great quick midweek meal.

These festive cranberry brie bites are the perfect holiday appetizer—combining flaky pastry, gooey brie, and tart cranberry sauce into one crowd-pleasing, elegant bite.

A classic Italian dish, I've made these bite size to be finger food but they are typically made larger to serve as a meal or appetiser! This makes 25 mini Arancini balls about the size of a golf ball. :) Great for making ahead - they keep in the fridge for 3 days, then just reheat at 350F/180C for 10 minutes!

Recipe video above. Each filling below makes 24 mini quiches, so USE ONE FILLING. If you want to make more than 1, scale the filling recipe DOWN (use the slider below). A quick blind bake will ensure the pastry doesn't go soggy and it cooks through in the short time it takes for the filling to bake!

This is one of my greatest secret weapons for gatherings. It looks fantastic, you don't need to use an expensive brie for this, it's adaptable to your taste, it takes minutes to make, and it's an absolute and total crowd pleaser! The flavour combination is a killer: creamy brie with the warm nuttiness of pecans, sweetness from maple syrup and juicy pops of pomegranate. Normally brie served like this is baked, but you can't tell the difference between baking and microwaving!

Recipe video above. Copycat of the legendary beef sausage rolls at B85 Artisan Bakery in the quaint Sydney suburb of Camden, these are next-level good! These are big, bold, juicy, cheesy, and loaded flavour, and I especially love how the tangy pickled jalapeño cut through the richness. These are JUMBO, like the B85 ones. See Note 6 for party sausage rolls.

Recipe video above. A bubbly casserole of sorts, this Mexican beef and bean is like a baked version of chilli con carne with lots of melty cheese - but faster to make. Think of it like your ultimate all-purpose Mexican beef - stuff in tacos, DIY burrito wraps, dunk with corn chips - like nachos!

Recipe video above. A tasty salmon tray bake recipe that's as simple as it is healthy. Salmon infused with an assertive lemon garlic marinade cooks in just 11 minutes alongside parmesan asparagus and blistered cherry tomatoes. No stove splatter - yay! Green beans would also work great, or thin broccolini stems (and the florets go crunchy!). Shower with parmesan and squeeze of lemon for an easy finishing touch.

Recipe video above. Here's a really quick way to cook chicken thighs or breast in a simple yet elegant creamy mustard sauce. Mustard adds flavour as well as thickening the sauce while tarragon infuses the sauce with elegant aniseed notes, giving it a very restaurant-y flavour. But even if you don't have fresh tarragon or don't like it, this is absolutely still worth making. In fact, I've probably made it as often without tarragon as I have with!
