From the monthly archives: December 2010
Every once in a while I like to look at what my most popular posts are. I’m often surprised. To wrap up 2010 I figured I’d share with you the top 10 most popular recipes posts of the past year. These aren’t recipes that were posted this year but the most popular posts of the […]
Quelle horreur! Yes, it’s a macarons graveyard of sorts.
As you may recall this year I became pretty engrossed with making French macarons – mostly with success. I felt like I was blessed with some sort of macaron-making gene when my first batch turned out well with few casualties. […]
In a previous post I wrote about making paneer from scratch. It was super easy and without a doubt I will only make my own paneer vs. buying it going forward (especially since I saw a pack of the stuff for $4.99 at No Frills!). Once I made the paneer I […]
Christmas is upon us and while I’m not a big Christmas baker I can’t let a holiday season pass me by without making these fruitcake bars! I actually posted about these two years ago but decided to revisit them. The photo on that old post doesn’t […]
It was only a matter of time before I went ahead and made my own bacon. I mean I’ve been extolling the virtues of bacon for years and had long-declared that “everything tastes better with bacon” long before the phrase was a part of our vernacular. My primary bacon used to be […]
So one of my fave “celebrity chefs”, Ina Garten has a new cookbook out called . I’ve had good times pouring through it and deciding what to make. The other day I was craving a nice big bowl of pasta so I gravitated towards her “Weeknight Bolognese” […]

This doesn’t come up on the blog too often but I’m a HUGE tea drinker. When I was in high school and the first year and a half of university I was a coffee and Coke […]
My sister came to town for American Thanksgiving and commissioned a sweet potato pie… from me. Not only did she commission a sweet potato pie but she also asked for either fresh whipped cream or ice cream. Because I’m nice I accepted the job and went to town looking for a […]
After my recent ricotta-making success I decided to try my hand at making some other cheeses. I was planning on making mozzarella but I have to order cheese-making supplies and that is kind of expensive so I decided to make paneer. I love ordering Saag Paneer when I go out […]
I recently completed a pretty terrible course at George Brown called Creative Plate Presentations. I thought it would be really cool and help me plate my food better but the instructor that I had was a bit retro for my tastes. The one good thing about the class is that […]
