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.
New Recipes out Every Thursday!
Cooking mid-week meals can be hard, so we’re here to help with weekly meal ideas! From dinners, to breakfast, to cocktails we’re looking forward to helping you try something new!
Italian Lemon & Yogurt Cake
This moist, rich cake combines everything you love about an olive oil cake with the lightness of a sponge-cake. Our take on a classic Italian ricotta cake, this lemon & yogurt cake is the perfect pairing for your morning coffee. With notes of honey, almond, and lemon, it’s both refreshing and comforting. And of course, not too sweet to keep from accidentally eating the whole thing in one sitting!
Cinnamon Fig Latte
There’s no better celebration of a new seasonal than by utilizing in-season ingredients. The Cinnamon Fig Latte is a cozy, warming drink for your cold, foggy mornings. The perfect balance of subtle and strong, this syrup will level up whatever coffee you’re drinking right now. The natural honey-like sweetness of a fig paired with its own nuttiness is only elevated by the warmth of good cinnamon. Why not spice up your coffee routine and give it a try!
Vegan Fried “Chicken” Sandwich
Fried chicken sandwiches are arguably one of the greatest types of sandwiches ever created. They represent the perfect balance of crispy, juicy, acidic sharp, and wonderfully indulgent. There’s no reason to limit this amazing meal to just meat eaters, so we’ve come up with what is our favourite vegan Fried “Chicken” Sandwich. These oyster mushrooms are only enhanced by the amazing Korean influences that come from our preferred fried chicken sandwiches. It’s a great way to indulge yourself without compromises!
Cozy Cardamom Ginger Latte
Cardamom and Ginger are the perfect recipe for a cozy morning. With the fragrant and intoxicating taste of cardamom, the bite of ginger, and the lift of the orange peel, how could you go wrong with your morning latte?
Lemony Chickpea & Sundried Tomato Pesto Pasta
This AWESOME pesto pasta recipe brings in the best of summer by incorporating not only basil, but lemon and sun dried tomatoes! These crispy lemony chickpeas help give it some crunch and lift the dish to keep it from feeling heavy. It has everything you need to keep you going all day. And the best part? It only takes 45 minutes (which is mostly just boiling water) and only uses 2 dishes!
Sweet Potato Breakfast Bake
Sweet potatoes are filled with complex carbs that really help jumpstart your energy! Whether vegetarian or not, this recipe has meat substitutes that have got you covered. And is any breakfast bake complete without some eggs? I think not! That extra protein will help keep you going all day, especially when you pair it with the avocado topping!
Tear-Away Pesto Prosciutto Bread
These tear-away rolls are easy, fun, and delicious. They're perfect for sharing with your friends and roommates, but there's nothing wrong with becoming a bread hoarder and finishing them all yourself. The crispy base paired with the fluffy, fresh bread is only made better by being topped with some garlic butter!
Homemade Cold Brew Coffee
If you like iced coffee and an easy recipe, you've come to the right place! With only a few steps and a little time sitting in your fridge, you can have 48oz of cold brew coffee ready to go. This can be used for iced coffee, baking flavouring, or even cocktails. Still not sold? Cold brew has about twice the caffeine you find in regular coffee.
Homemade Naan Bread
Fluffy, hot naan is the best addition to any meal and a great way to start learning making bread. Also a great way to use up some of the leftover yogurt in your fridge. You'll never be able to go back to store-bought, sorry in advance. Not to mention, it's pretty impressive to whip this out with your dinner.
Overnight Instant Pot Oatmeal
My favourite time to make this meal is the night before a big ski trip. When you’re getting up and leaving at 5 am to spend all day in the cold getting some exercise, the best thing is a fresh, hot bowl of oatmeal. It keeps you going all day and all you have to do is put it in a bowl to eat it!
