Ginger-Sesame Steamed Fish

On December 11, 2011 · Leave a Comment

I’m always on the hunt for different things to eat.  I go through phases where I’ll eat vegetarian for days on end (unintentionally) and then stretches where I’m basically a carnivore (equally unintentionally).  I often find myself looking for balance and often turn to fish.  Usually my go-to fish is salmon, pretty much [...]

Best Ever Shrimp and Grits

On December 8, 2011 · 4 Comments

Shrimp and grits is likely in my top 20 favourite foods.  I make it fairly regularly and if I go out and see it on a menu I must order it.  Unfortunately shrimp and grits is a bit of an anomaly on Toronto menus so it makes the dish even more special.

The other [...]

Bacon Cream Cheese

On November 22, 2011 · 2 Comments

A little while ago the folks at The Siren Group invited me to an event featuring a new product called Skillet Bacon Spread. Given my love for bacon I was intrigued but unable to attend, so the folks at The Siren Group were kind enough to send some of the product [...]

Salmon in a Bengali Mustard Sauce

On November 16, 2011 · Leave a Comment

As I’ve mentioned before salmon is a staple in my kitchen. For better or worse. Truth be told I’m getting kind of tired of salmon. It’s not the most interesting fish. It’s ALWAYS around. And it’s an easy fish to make look good. Maybe I just need a challenge, but I’m [...]

Tea-Smoked Salmon

On October 24, 2011 · 4 Comments

A few weeks (months? time flies) ago thanks to The Twitters I was connected with the folks at one of my fave tea shops, David’s Tea. They sent over 3 different teas for me to do some experimenting in the kitchen with: Exotica, The Glow and Honeybush Lemon Ginger.

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 [...]

Mussels in Spicy Tomato Sauce

On October 10, 2011 · 5 Comments

I first wrote about mussels a few months here and it was the first time I had ever made mussels. Since then I have made that recipe a few times and it continues to be delicious.

Mussels are something that I make when I have the apartment to myself.  My [...]

Corn Chowder

On October 5, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Now that fall has really set in it is officially soup weather.  I LOVE soup weather.  Problem is, I also love summer.  Le sigh.  I feel like corn chowder solidly bridges that gap.  I mean corn to me screams summer.  Local corn starts showing up in the markets around the same [...]

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 [...]

Baked Chicken Meatballs with Peperonata

On September 22, 2011 · 3 Comments

For whatever reason, sometimes I’ll make dinner and forget to take a photo which means no post. Or sometimes I’ll take a photo and it’s hideous, which means no post. OR sometimes I’ll take a decent photo, get lazy and not post. I’m not sure what happened the last time I [...]
