Potstickers are one of the major foods eaten during the Chinese New Year and year-round in the northern provinces. I have to admit, I don’t understand why we cannot eat potstickers in my house every single day. Gosh they are so moreish. Potstickers are easier to make than you might think and taste way better […]

Baked Ravioli with Goats Cheese

Baked Ravioli in a rich tomato sauce, topped with cheese and baked to perfection. This is the stuff dreams are made of.

Posted on April 18, 2016 by nerinatimm in pasta, vegetarian
