Better Brunch: Fruity Jam Syrup

On March 3, 2012 · 4 Comments

One of the downsides to preserving is that I end up with more jars of goodness than I can use (I mean if you want to call that a downside).  Sure I can (and do) share with friends but every once in a while I’ll poke into the cupboard and find a jar of [...]

How To Quickly and Easily Dry Herbs

On October 14, 2011 · 5 Comments

This summer the herbs in my balcony garden thrived.  Perhaps the most bountiful herb was oregano. Problem is that I RARELY use fresh oregano.  Trust me when I say I tried integrating it into a bunch of recipes but I couldn’t keep up with how fast that stuff grew.

Now that [...]

Preserving the Goodness

On October 3, 2011 · 3 Comments

When I moved back to Toronto 4 (eek!) years ago I decided to try canning.  I liked the idea of controlling the amount of sugar in my jam as well as being able to use the freshest local produce and trying unique flavour combinations.  Canning can be a lot of work [...]

Nancy’s Coleslaw

On August 20, 2011 · 4 Comments

First things first, I have no clue who Nancy is.  This recipe comes from Paula Deen’s The Lady & Sons Cookbook. I imagine that Nancy is perhaps someone who used to work at the restaurant, or maybe one of Paula’s girlfriends. Who knows. It doesn’t make a difference.

My earliest memories [...]

Baked Eggs with Greens

On July 22, 2011 · 6 Comments

One of my favourite things is a fancy homemade breakfast on the weekends.  Sure I enjoy going out for brunch but I can’t help but find it a bit overrated.  I love restaurants that do unique things with their brunch menu but for the most part I feel like I can [...]

Garlic Scape and Basil Pesto

On July 19, 2011 · 9 Comments

Now don’t get me wrong, I love a farmers’ market as much as the next girl (or guy). But does anyone else find this whole eating locally and seasonally thing a bit stressful?

So let’s say you skip the market for a week or two or even three.  Then you show [...]

Strawberry Eton Mess

On June 28, 2011 · 11 Comments

Perhaps one of the highlights of eating in London was discovering the joys of Eton Mess.  I enjoyed Eton Mess for the first time at St. John and then again at Hereford Road. I love that it is a really simple dessert and that it’s a great way to showcase [...]

Momofuku’s Crack Pie

On June 2, 2011 · 4 Comments

Every once in awhile in the food blogger world there’s that recipe it feels like everyone is making. A few years ago it was all about No-Knead Bread and since then there have been many other recipes that have become popular among food bloggers. Within the past year or so, [...]

Coconut Creme Brulee

On May 18, 2011 · 8 Comments

One of the downsides to making a lot of macarons is the load of egg yolks that you inevitably end up with.  I usually put the yolks in a container and freeze them for later use.  The other day I made a pact with myself that I wouldn’t make any more [...]

Homemade English Muffins

On May 13, 2011 · 6 Comments

So as part of the last round of Charcutepalooza I had the brilliant idea to go all out and make my own English muffins. I mean, I was making Canadian bacon and naturally I would use this as part of Eggs Benedict. I’ve already mastered an easy Hollandaise sauce, [...]
