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! With the combination of deep, rich tomato sauce alongside the perfectly poached eggs, we can’t think of a better way to spend a chilly night.
Pumpkin & Goat Cheese Risotto
As the air gets crisp, we thought there was no better time to lean into the first cozy meal of autumn. The pumpkin & goat cheese risotto is the epitome of a rainy day meal by being rich, creamy, and low effort. Although risottos can be intimidating, they’re actually a really easy way to feel fancier without very much effort. The spicy candied walnuts along with the acidic microgreen salad keep this meal from being too heavy and makes this a meal you can just keep eating until it’s gone.
