With my recent strawberry picking exploits I ended up with a lot of berries. I didn’t want to make jam so I needed some ideas. I thought about doing some sort of strawberry rhubarb combo but that didn’t happen. As per usual I took to the interwebs to see what […]
One of my favourite things is a fancy homemade breakfast on the weekends. Sure I enjoy going out for brunch but I can’t help but find it a bit overrated. I love restaurants that do unique things with their brunch menu but for the most part I feel like I can […]
Perhaps one of the highlights of eating in London was discovering the joys of Eton Mess. I enjoyed Eton Mess for the first time at St. John and then again at Hereford Road. I love that it is a really simple dessert and that it’s a great way to showcase […]
Last year I was pretty obsessed with Rhubarb. I think it was because I was at the farmers market every weekend and was so on top of what was local and in season. I made a great Rhubarb Strawberry Pudding Cake and a Country Rhubarb Cake and was pretty […]
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 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, […]
This month’s Charcutepalooza challenge was all about hot smoking. The apprentice challenge was to hot smoke salmon while the charcuterie challenge was to hot smoke either a pork loin or a pork shoulder.
When I first read smoked salmon I was super excited because I LOVE smoked salmon. After doing […]
Whenever I hear the word Babka I inevitably think of the Seinfeld episode where Jerry and Elaine try to secure a chocolate babka. I remember watching that episode when it first aired, likely nearly 20 years ago (holy!), and not really knowing what a babka was to begin with. After watching […]
