I tested numerous recipes for ricotta (often called farmer's cheese) before coming up with this version. It is creamy, tangy and delicious. Use it on a cheese plate, in pasta dishes or even drizzle with honey, sprinkle with toasted nuts and enjoy as a healthy dessert!

Bubble tea is a sweet drink of Asian origin and is often fruit flavoured - melon, lychee, coconut, strawberry - but the big draw here is the chewy tapioca “pearls” on bottom of the glass.

Roasted peppers make a great addition to salads, pasta dishes, and dips because they take on a sweeter and smokier flavour. Roast a whole bunch of them ahead of time and keep them in the fridge.

Specially scaled for two, this version of pots de creme is like a chocolate truffle in a ramekin. While you can substitute whole milk for half the cream, this decadent, once-a-year treat can use up an entire 250 ML (1 cup) container of cream. So look at the cost savings rather than the calorie count.
