A little about me:
I'm Paula, and I started How To Make Dinner because dinnertime is my favourite time of day. (Except on weekends, when it's breakfast, but you get the point.) I love winding down at the end of the day with a good cooking and eating sesh.
I love dinnertime SO MUCH, but I know not all of you feel the same way. Feeding ourselves and our families can be stressful. So I started this channel and my blog to help give you easy dinner ideas for enjoyable home cooking with less fuss.
My dinnertime strategy - Keep it simple and delicious, and don't use too many pots and pans. Learn to cook with me and you'll be the master of quick and easy dinners that will please everyone.

Bulgarian Cuisine - How to make Gyuvetch?
As always i try to find different recipes, i realized i haven't explored recipe from Bulgaria. I came across this recipe called Gyuvetch from Kitchen Stories. This is traditional dish from Bulgaria, specially cooked in clay pot. This dish includes lots of veggies and meat with tomato paste and spices, baked for approx 2 1/2 hours. 10 min baking is just to soften veggies slightly to mix with tomato paste, This step is totally optional,if you mix veggies with tomato paste before putting into oven.

Bulgarian Roasted Bell & Jalapeño Peppers with Garlic, Parsley & Vinegar - A Favorite Side Dish
Hello Everyone,
Today, I will share the recipe of a side dish my mom makes in Bulgaria. It doesn't really have a name, but just about everyone in Bulgaria knows of it.
It makes a great side dish and an appetizer as well.
You can make it and store it in the refrigerator for weeks.
In this video I'm using 10-12 large red bell peppers, 8 jalapeño peppers. You will also need a bunch of parsley, 25-30 cloves of garlic, 2 tbsp of ACV, salt to taste and 1/2 cup of olive oil.
I roast the bell peppers on high for 15 minutes and flip the jalapeño peppers over after 7 to 8 minutes.
I hope you enjoy!
Thank you for watching!

What The Heck Is A Chushkopek?? Making Bulgarian Kyopolou From Scratch
What The Heck Is A Chushkopek?? Making Bulgarian Kyopolou From Scratch
Get the Kyopolou recipe:
This kyopolou recipe is delicious, but I would have probably never thought to make it if it weren't for this amazing chushkopek! Seriously. This novelty kitchen device is so charming and it does a really amazing job of roasting vegetables. What do you think? Should I start importing them into North America? Are they the next air fryer?
I hope you like this episode, and I hope you like the recipe for this delicious roasted pepper and eggplant dip. It's such a nice thing to have in the fridge!
Hey! Thanks for watching!
I'm Paula. I'm a former professional cook and overall eating enthusiast.
I started this channel because I love making dinner and I love eating dinner.. but mostly it's because all I've ever wanted in life is to have my own cooking show. When I didn't get a callback after submitting my tape to Food Network in 2003, I put that dream to rest for a while. Until I clued in, I can do it myself on YouTube!
I love sharing the tips I've learned from professional kitchens and tidbits from my holistic nutrition education. But mostly I just want to show you how to make dinner. (See what I did there?) ????
My cooking style is simple but flavourful. I cook with a lot of veggies but I'm not vegetarian. For me, a typical dinner is plant-forward, budget-friendly, non-fussy, and really delicious. As a step-mom, I make a lot of family-friendly comfort food, as well as a lot of simple, indulgent dinners for one (or two).

Give this easy and very delicious recipe a try and let me know what you think!
INGREDIENTS:
4 slices thick-cut bacon , diced (traditionally you would use about 2 tbsp of lard) and many Hungarians add some kolbasz for flavor
1 large yellow onion
1 green bell pepper
2 cloves garlic , minced
1 large tomato
1/2 tsp caraway seeds
1 bay leaf, salt and black pepper
1 1/2 pounds (700 g) stewing beef , cut into 1/2 inch pieces
4 tbsp sweet Hungarian paprika
1 1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Water
???? Knives I used in this video -
???? Dutch oven:
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Heat a heavy pot or Dutch oven and fry the bacon until crispy. Once done, add the onions and cook over medium-high heat until they turn golden. Add the bell peppers and garlic, and sauté for an additional two minutes. Next, add the beef to the pot and cook for one minute until it loses some of its pink color. Stir in the paprika, then remove the pot from the heat.
2. Add the tomatoes, bay leaf, caraway seeds, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pour just enough water into the pot to reach slightly over halfway up the stew mixture. Return the pot to the heat and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, cover the pot, reduce the heat to medium-low, and let it simmer for 90 minutes. If the stew is not thick enough, simmer uncovered for a few more minutes to allow some of the liquid to evaporate.
Serve with mashed or boiled potatoes or wide egg noodles. It is traditional to also serve a side salad, particularly a cucumber salad.
???? Irresistible Homemade Mashed Potatoes: Easy, Creamy, and Bursting with Flavor!
INGREDIENTS:
2 lb (1 kg) potatoes
1 tbsp salt
3 tbsp (50 g) unsalted butter
1/2 cup (120 ml) warm whole milk
1/2 tsp salt
Garnish with extra butter
INSTRUCTIONS:
To prepare the perfect mashed potatoes, start by cutting the potato into evenly sized pieces. Boil them in salted water until they are incredibly soft and can be easily crumbled with a fork. After draining, return the potatoes to the pot and mash them with butter and milk until they reach a creamy and fluffy texture.
Finally, transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and create decorative swirls on the top. This will provide the perfect canvas to drizzle some extra melted butter, taking the mashed potatoes to a whole new level of deliciousness!
