Described by some as “the cake of death”, a sinful, additively sweet coffee cake that will make your body vibrate with the effects of too much sugar. Simply delicious!

The easiest 3 ingredient scone recipe using 7-Up.

A simple and delicious crumble (aka, crisp) recipe calibrated so that the measures are either 1, 3, or 1/3. That way you can remember it when the internet is down and you can’t access Recipe Binder. Rhubarb, plums, peaches, apples, all work well here.

An authentic South Indian Chicken curry from my mom’s kitchen. This is a very spicy version, so feel free to adjust the black peppercorns, green and red chillies as you see fit.

¢ Slit one side of each chile lengthwise and remove seeds and ribs, keeping chiles intact. ¢ Combine water, brown sugar, onion and garlic in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat.

Simple cheesecake with a twist. The bay leaves give it an enticing fragrance, and the honey-only sweetening gives it an air of authenticity. Should any smart-alec guests dispute this point, stab them immediately and repeatedly with a gladius.
