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 [...]

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 [...]

For whatever reason I’m often craving Mexican food. You’d think after my Mexican feast in Stratford with Pilar Cabrera Arroyo that my desire for Mexican food would be squashed. So not the case! Since I was still craving the goodness I pulled out my Rick Bayless cookbooks and started [...]

An Oaxacan Feast with Chef Pilar Cabrera Arroyo in Stratford

It’s no secret that I love Mexican food.  In fact, I pretty much always have an underlying craving for all things Mexican. Living in Toronto where there aren’t many (good, authentic) opportunities for Mexican food I find myself either making my own feasts using Rick Bayless’ recipes or I just plan [...]

A few months ago I went on a quick trip to Chicago… to see a taping of the Oprah Winfrey Show.  Oddly enough, despite the fact that my sister lives there the last time that I went to Chicago was the year before for a taping of the Oprah Winfrey Show.  [...]

In my latest quest to prepare a Mexican feast I opened up Rick Bayless’ Mexican Everyday. I wanted a recipe that would be meaty and last me a few days so that I could have lunches for a few days.  A big piece of meat lends itself great to that [...]

How To Make Homemade Corn Tortillas

I’ve been having a craving for Mexican food as of late.  It was likely spurred by my recent trip to Chicago where I dined at Rick Bayless’ Xoco twice. Toronto isn’t known for its Mexican food so when I have a craving I usually crack open my cookbooks.

On August 13, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Rick Bayless is one of my faves! I pretty much ALWAYS crave Mexican food and because of the lack of awesome Mexican in Toronto I tend to turn to Rick for some good eats.

It had been a while since I’d last made Mexican food (I think I forgot to post my last endeavour) and [...]

I think I’ll start a new tag for food crushes because I have to admit, I have many.

Ina and Mario are probably my biggest food crushes with Madhur Jaffrey steadily climbing up the ranks. My other love as of late is Rick Bayless ye of Mexican food. I’m currently working my way [...]
