In Toronto, winter is finally making its way on out. Finally. We didn’t have such a terrible winter but there’s nothing like 5 or 6 months of cold and grayness to mess with your emotions. The days are getting longer and the sun is starting to shine a bit brighter. Summer, […]
Every once in awhile I buy a new cookbook and I get my money’s worth very quickly. Recently I’ve been loving Ina Garten aka Barefoot Contessa’s . The recipes are delicious and really easy to make. A lot of great dinner party recipes too.
I’m always looking for […]
Oh how I love Charcutepalooza! While I didn’t have to challenge myself with last month’s theme (as posted here) this month’s challenge definitely made me bring it. This month was all about brining. The Apprentice Challenge (which I skipped) involved brining a whole chicken or pork chop. I decided […]
For whatever reason I’m often craving Mexican food. You’d think after my Mexican feast in Stratford with Pilar Cabrera Arroyo that my desire for Mexican food would be squashed. So not the case! Since I was still craving the goodness I pulled out my Rick Bayless cookbooks and started […]

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 […]
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 […]
