Exploring Cooking & Science
There’s chemistry involved every time we cook, and our ultimate goal is to Student-Proof our recipes so no one has to do any guesswork. All of our recipes include supplemental information about the science of what you’re trying to make, explained in a way anyone could understand.
Sundried Tomato & Artichoke Shakshuka
Shakshuka is the quintessential midweek meal: it’s fast, it’s easy, and it uses very few perishable ingredients. This satisfying North African dish is the perfect way to satisfy you and keep you feeling full after a long day. In our twist on the tradition recipe, we’ve incorporated artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes, and avocado to help get a little extra nutrition and flavour into your meal!

And of course, not too sweet to keep from accidentally eating the whole thing in one sitting!
