Since acquiring the latest Barefoot Contessa cookbook, by Ina Garten, I’ve been steadily cooking my way through it. The recipes really are quick, easy and perfect for weeknight suppers without appearing to be too simple. When I do my weekly menu planning I find myself picking up […]
Weekend breakfasts are my favourite. In theory I love going out for brunch but I generally leave feeling like I could’ve made the meal myself. Weekend breakfasts at home usually involve bacon & eggs, pancakes, or ackee and saltfish so if I go out for brunch I […]
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 […]
My French food kick continues! This time around I decided to make Julia Child’s Boeuf Bourguignon from . This dish figured prominently in the movie ‘Julie and Julie’ and since watching the movie months ago this dish has been on my list of things […]
This dessert may very well be what ruins me.
A bold statement, I know, but firmly rooted in the truth. It all started a week or so ago when my friend Jaime was coming over to dinner. I knew that I was going to make scallops for […]

I love it when I find a quick and easy weeknight staple meal. Seriously. I mean who doesn’t like the idea of knowing that if all else fails there is a delicious meal that can be made quickly when you get home from work? AND it’s good enough to serve to company. […]
It’s no secret that I love me some short ribs. Earlier this year I made braised short ribs that was delicious as a main course and as a filling for a sandwich. I was in Kensington Market the other day and the butcher had a good deal on short ribs so […]
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. […]
Over the holidays I bought myself a new cookbook. I know, I don’t need anymore cookbooks but I was in Anthropologie and it was on sale and I couldn’t resist. The cookbook is from the Tartine Bakery & Cafe in San Francisco. I had the chance to eat […]
