I love fish tacos. Problem is, there aren’t that many places to get them in Toronto. Back when I lived in New York I used to have fish tacos for brunch at Dos Caminos Soho and they were great. Until one day they changed the batter to more of a breading and then they started [...]

Despite having an extensive cookbook collection when I’m looking for something new to look I often turn to the interwebs instead of to my good old books. Every once in a while I stray from my usual patterns and peruse through a book I haven’t touched in a while. Recently the chosen tome was Moosewood [...]
A few months ago I was so pumped to finally buy Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking Vol. 1. Something happened shortly after and I didn’t really make any other recipes. I mean, I always MEANT to open up the book when doing my menu planning but other dishes got in the way. [...]

Okay, for this week’s Barefoot Bloggers I’m cheating a bit. When I saw that this week’s pick was for Ina’s Baked Shrimp Scampi I was a bit disappointed. I make this ALL THE TIME. Seriously at least once or twice a month. The recipe is great the way it is so I never make any [...]
Hello all! After week’s vacation in Jamaica I’m back to the cold and the blogosphere. Sadly no Jamaica related posts… it really wasn’t a take pictures of your food kind of vacation, although I did do some good eating. I ate a ton of fresh-caught, never frozen fish, locally grown yams, bananas, mangoes, pineapples, sugar [...]

What’s that line from that old movie? “I coulda been a contenda” or something like that… that’s how I felt about this dish. It had all the making for deliciousness but I had to go and screw it up. I love shrimp. I love cheesy spinach. I love meals that come together quickly. It was [...]

I just realized that we are well into the new year and I haven’t posted a single recipe. I’ve been cooking but making a lot of old favourites and I’m trying to be more economical and structuring my meals and time differently. I typically cook every night and eat the leftovers for lunch. I’m trying [...]

Salmon is such a staple in my house and I’m forever looking for ways to jazz it up. Every once in a while I’ll log onto Epicurious and do a search for salmon and see what strikes my fancy. I came across this recipe for salmon with lentils and was totally intrigued. I love salmon [...]

A few months ago I was in Ikea and bought Ikea’s Real Swedish Food Book on my way out. I haven’t made a ton of stuff from the book yet but I’ve been meaning to. In the book this salmon casserole looks pretty attractive. It’s more the uniqueness of the dish that drew me in. [...]

I try to eat vegetarian at least a few times a week. You wouldn’t know it by some of the meat heavy dishes that I make but I do enjoy eating meatless. I’m actually thinking of doing another cleanse or fast in the new year. My body has been slower than I’d like and I [...]
