2023 Squiz Recipe Roundup

Cooking up a storm in 2023…

This year, we did a lot of Squizing and curating of the news to help you stay on top of things. We also recommended a lot of recipes to help you get into the kitchen and make something good.

A big selection of them is here. Truth be told, we have our favourites (aka anything potato-based…) - but we’ve taken a more scientific approach today. So without further ado, here are the top 10 recipes Squizers clicked in 2023.

Squizers’ most-clicked recipes this year

Jennifer Aniston’s salad - Nothing like a celebrity endorsement to help us make Friends with salad… There’s a bit of disagreement about whether Aniston ate this on set of the outrageously successful sitcom every day, but we do know one thing: it’s tasty.

Jamie Oliver’s carbonara cake - Oliver calls it “delightfully simple, luxurious, yet slightly trashy”. That combines 3 of our favourite things together, so why not…

Silverbeet soup with colcannon potato bread - We’re not usually soup people, but we were intrigued by this leafy green soup as the weather started to cool down. It’s yum - especially with the potato bread.

Beef, ricotta and rosemary meatball tray bake - Few things beat a traybake, and this one was delicious with pasta. We had the leftovers with some broccolini, and we think you know which we preferred…

Caramelised ANZAC bars - We’ll never turn down a classic ANZAC bikkie, but we’ve been making these ones by baking queen Helen Goh all year round.

Chicken and risoni soup with gremolata - Squizers are soup fans… We've made this recipe sooo many times - usually we shred a BBQ chicken from the supermarket and use stock from a carton. With some fresh bread, it’s a busy Saturday lunch staple in our parts.

Alison Roman's semolina cake with lemon and fennel - It was one of many lemon recipes we recommended this year, and this was one of the more unusual… It’s a cake for when you're looking to impress without trying too hard.

Herbed ricotta and roasted tomato bruschetta - You can eat it for breakfast, lunch or dinner - simple and fancy at the same time.

Herb-infused lemon-strawberry loaf - We’ve been a bit enamoured with snacking cakes for a couple of years now. It’s just such a fabulous concept… And this one is good/easy (aka half of it was gone before it had cooled…).

Barbecued beef brisket - The original recipe looks great, but we skipped the pickles and shredded the beef up for tacos. All you need is the time for it to marinate and then cook.

As we said at the top, there are many more recipes we’ve recommended this year, and we've collated them here for some summer hols food inspiration. Bon app…
