Okay, I know I’ve waxed poetic about my love of the Ottolenghi cookbooks. Basically, I’m pretty obsessed with both and right now. It’s basically been a hit parade whenever I cook something from these two books. The hype is definitely worth it.
Those who know me know that I […]
The alternate title to this post is: Treat Yo Self.
I woke up the other day and realized that January was out and it was officially February. I don’t know how things have been for you, but over here January was a beast. Perhaps I should’ve known given that I rang in the […]
While I love Chicago (to a degree) and have committed to working here for the next few years, there are some things that really irk me about the place. For example, the lack of diversity in the food scene. Sure Chicago is known as a restaurant town but I challenge you to find […]
So, one of the cardinal rules of having a dinner party is to make foods that you’ve made before. For some reason I pretty much never adhere to this rule. In fact, when I have people coming over I usually use it as a reason to experiment. And the idea never stresses me […]
Well folks, American Thanksgiving is upon us. Or, as I like to call it: the last Thursday in November. Being Canadian, American Thanksgiving is just another day albeit with the promise of crazy sales and all good TV shows being preempted in favour of football.

One of my favourite things about travelling is discovering new dishes to bring back with me. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a food native to the city/country, for example, when I came back from London I almost immediately made this fish with romesco sauce.

While on vacation in London a few years ago I fell in love with Ottolenghi. Ottolenghi is a popular takeaway restaurant mini-chain in London that has a wide range of foods with many flavours inspired by the Middle East. While in London I had a great lunch there one […]
Those who know me know that despite my appearance I don’t put a huge emphasis on eating healthy. I mean I eat healthy in the sense that I prepare most of my own foods and don’t eat a ton of junk food. BUT I also don’t think too hard about things. My favourite […]
I’ve been doing some thinking these days and I’ve come to the conclusion that ribs are probably in my top 10 favourite foods. Not only are there multiple cuts of ribs, but so many flavour possibilities once you start integrating recipes from different cultures. Sure, barbecue ribs are delicious but who doesn’t love […]
I’m always surprised by the random cravings I get. For example, paella. I can probably count the number of times I’ve had paella on one hand. I can’t remember a particularly remarkable paella that I can point to in my memory as a definitive paella experience. Yes, I remember having paella in Barcelona […]
