From the monthly archives: May 2011
A few months ago I was at this great shop in my hood called Culinarium trying to use up a recent Groupon purchase. Culinarium takes the idea of being a “locavore” to another level and only stocks products made/grown in Ontario. For awhile I would buy my bacon there all […]
It’s not often that I write about things other than food. Sure, I’ll occasionally write about my travels but usually from the lens of food, but that’s usually about it. With the ending of the Oprah Winfrey Show I felt the need to blog about it so of course I found […]
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 […]
One of the downsides to making a lot of macarons is the load of egg yolks that you inevitably end up with. I usually put the yolks in a container and freeze them for later use. The other day I made a pact with myself that I wouldn’t make any more […]
For this month’s Charcutepalooza challenge we inch our way closer to making sausage by exploring the world of grinding. And yes, I feel slightly dirty typing the word “grinding” repeatedly (I’m secretly a 13 year-old boy).
Now grinding isn’t new to me. I broke out my grinder a few […]
So as part of the last round of Charcutepalooza I had the brilliant idea to go all out and make my own English muffins. I mean, I was making Canadian bacon and naturally I would use this as part of Eggs Benedict. I’ve already mastered an easy Hollandaise sauce, […]
While I love meat, I try not to eat it all the time. My weekly diet usually involves some meat, some seafood, maybe some poultry and usually a meatless dish, like pasta. My lunches recently usually consist of leftover dinner so I’ve been having much more meat at lunch than I’d […]
Since I always keep a stash of fish fillets in my freezer, I’m always on the lookout for new ways to use them up. When it comes to whitefish I don’t have a go-to recipe since I usually make fish a different way each time. What can I say? I like […]
For years I’ve been a part of this online cookbook buying “club” called The Good Cook. It’s similar to the old Columbia House CD buying program where you get a certain number of books for cheap (in this case 4 for $1 each) and then have to buy a few more […]
