9. Chicken-and-bulgur wheat Greek salad
Everyone's favourite private chef, Megan Kate Swan, shared her recipe for your new favourite chicken salad! This chicken-and-bulgur wheat Greek salad is packed with flavour and ideal for meal prep. According to Megan, it can be stored for two days in the fridge, and you should keep the dressing and pine nuts separate before serving. Not a meal prep person? It's also a great salad for a braai or a cool dinner.

7. Peri-peri oven-roasted seafood skillet
This recipe by Hannah Lewry is the cover star of our long weekends special edition of TASTE. We posted it to celebrate the special edition in the last week of March, and you flocked to it! Perhaps it's the excitement of seeing a printed magazine again. It could be, because it's an ideal special occasions recipe (Eid, birthdays, Easter – it works for everything!). Whatever the reason, we can't wait to see your re-creations!

5. Double beef burger with smoked Cheddar and sriracha mayo
Abigail Donnelly's burger recipe being in the top 10 was not on our bingo card. We did not post this recently, nor did it feature in our weekly newsletter this month. But after some investigating, we saw that it featured in a Woolworths newsletter that went out just before the long weekend! It was shared for burger Friday and we agree that it's an excellent burger for a Friday – or any day of the week!

4. Chicken Caesar chopped sandwich
While a good chicken mayo will always have a special place in our hearts, we reckon this chicken sando by Abigail Donnelly may be the best. It takes all the best bits of a Caesar salad and combines them with the trendy chopped sandwich. The result? An epic chicken sandwich you'll be making on repeat. The best part? The bread acts as the crouton!

3. Boerewors lasagne
This recipe by Khanya Mzongwana had the TASTE community divided. Some people loved the local twist and ease, while others were adamant that you shouldn't mess with the classics. Whichever side you fell on, you can't deny that the fascination around the recipe drove you to view it.
2. Roast sirloin with potato bake
Clearly, many of you are into good Sunday lunches! This recipe by Hannah Lewry shakes up the Sunday roast with a Mediterranean sirloin roast paired with sour cream potato bake. You roast the sirloin on top of the potato bake so it can absorb all that good flavour. And to round it off, Hannah includes a celery-and-citrus salsa to balance the meal beautifully.
