Beef Cheek Chili

On March 15, 2012 · Leave a Comment

As I mentioned in a recent post, I love me some beef cheeks. I like them so much that after first making them I called the butcher to order 5lbs of them so I could always have a stash of beef cheeks in my freezer. They are that good.

When I got [...]

Braised Beef Cheeks

On February 12, 2012 · 2 Comments

A few weeks back I was doing my weekly Kensington Market run when I decided to stop in my favourite butcher, Sanagan’s Meat Locker. Sanagan’s is a tiny butcher shop that stocks all types of responsibly raised, local meats. They do a good job of identifying which farm the meat is from [...]

Cajun Jambalaya

On January 23, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Every once in awhile I get these random cravings for things that I rarely eat.  Take this jambalaya for instance.  I’ve had jambalaya less than a handful of times and really don’t have any particularly memorable jambalaya experiences that I can refer. Honestly, I can’t tell you where exactly I had it or who [...]

Charcutepalooza: Pork Rillette

On October 15, 2011 · 3 Comments

I took a little break from Charcutepalooza over the past two months. August’s challenge involved making a terrine, headcheese, trotters or mouselline, none of which I found particularly appealing. September was all about making various types of pâtés, some en crôute.  These options were a bit more exciting to me [...]

Charcutepalooza: Homemade Hot Dogs

On July 15, 2011 · 5 Comments

Ever since I bought Michael Ruhlman and Brian Polcyn’s Charcuterie and started flipping through it I knew that some point I would have to make my own hot dogs. So imagine how pumped I was when this month’s Charcutepalooza was announced and it was all about blending meats [...]

Summery Sausage and Tomato Bake

On July 7, 2011 · 6 Comments

On a good day I can be a bit obsessed with food magazines.  I’ve been reading them for years but my obsession really kicked into gear when I moved to NYC for school and subscriptions became SO CHEAP.  If you try to subscribe for most magazines from Canada prices are about [...]

Charcutepalooza: Sausage Time

On June 14, 2011 · 10 Comments

Alas!  The Charcutepalooza challenge I’ve been waiting for: Sausage-making.

When I first set out to do Charcutepalooza one of the things I was most looking forward to doing was making sausage. Making sausage just seemed so… hardcore. I mean you need a grinder, a sausage stuffer, all kinds of meat [...]

Crusty Black Bean Chorizo Subs

On June 7, 2011 · Leave a Comment

My quest to “make things with chorizo” continues.  The most recent Charcutepalooza Challenge was all about making sausage meat and I went the chorizo route. As mentioned in that post, I made chorizo tacos but of course have another pound or two of chorizo to use up so I’ve been [...]

Bucatini All’Amatriciana

On May 31, 2011 · 6 Comments

A few months ago I was at this great shop in my hood called Culinarium trying to use up a recent Groupon purchase. Culinarium takes the idea of being a “locavore” to another level and only stocks products made/grown in Ontario. For awhile I would buy my bacon there all [...]

Chorizo, Potato, and Mushroom Tacos

On May 24, 2011 · 2 Comments

Last month’s Charcutepalooza Challenge was all about making sausages (sans casings). I decided to make chorizo because I love to get my Mexican cooking on. Of course when I think of Mexican food I think of Rick Bayless so I turned to him for some inspiration.

I kind of [...]
