From the monthly archives: June 2010
So earlier this month I posted my Daring Cooks Challenge results and now it’s time for my first ever Daring Bakers challenge! I joined Daring Bakers because I like baking but I don’t often push myself to make things beyond my comfort zone (macaron-making excluded). This is a good way […]

The Black Hoof has been on my list of restaurants to try for months. The thing is it’s not the type of place that you […]
Every once in a while I get random cravings for foods I’ve never eaten before… like steak with chimichurri. For some reason my body has been craving Latin American food. It’s like my heart is screaming maduros! tostones! rice and beans! arroz con pollo! Luckily while the Latin American food scene […]
While at the farmers market the other day I couldn’t resist some more fresh Ontario rhubarb and strawberries. Strawberries and rhubarb are a classic pairing so I figured I’d make some sort of dessert. My mind immediately went to pie and then to crumble. But then I went to Epicurious […]
A few weeks ago in my cooking class it was egg day. The teacher demonstrated how to make hollandaise, how to poach an egg, how to make various omelettes and then we made quiche. Now as you may or may not know from reading the blog, eggs freak me out. You can’t […]

I’ve been hearing about the Daring Cooks/Daring Bakers challenges FOREVER. I actually signed up for it about a year ago but totally forgot about it until recently. I’ve officially joined both groups! For more information visit this site.
Our hostesses this month, Evelyne of Cheap Ethnic Eatz, and […]
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 […]
Being of Jamaican descent I grew up eating oxtails. But only one way, typically stewed/braised with some broad beans thrown in and served with rice and peas. It’s totally delicious if prepared correctly. I kind of always thought that only Jamaicans (maybe other West Indians too) ate oxtails until I realized […]
