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.
I know, I totally sound like the Grinch […]
It may not come as a surprise that chicken isn’t my favourite meat. Sure, I love it when it’s breaded and deep fried or when I see a whole roasted chicken, but on a typical night I’m not consuming chicken. And I pretty much NEVER order it when I go out. […]
One of my favourite parts of my weekend is my weekly Kensington Market run. Since moving back to Toronto I’d often find myself there every few weeks to pick up some cheese, visit a fishmonger or hit up Chinatown for some goodies. As I’ve come to spend more time in the market I […]
For the life of me I can’t understand people who aren’t down for chicken and waffles. Especially people who have never tried it. I mean, fried chicken = good. Waffles = good. WHAT IS NOT TO LOVE???
When I go for brunch and am presented with the option to order chicken and waffles […]
A few weeks back I was in Chicago for a quick jaunt. My sis had been raving about brunch at Art Smith’s Table 52 so we hit it up that Sunday. I had the shrimp and grits and she had the fried chicken and waffles. While my shrimp and grits were delicious […]
Every once in awhile I get these random cravings for things that I rarely eat. Take this jambalaya for instance. I’ve had jambalaya less than a handful of times and really don’t have any particularly memorable jambalaya experiences that I can refer. Honestly, I can’t tell you where exactly I had it or who […]
For whatever reason, sometimes I’ll make dinner and forget to take a photo which means no post. Or sometimes I’ll take a photo and it’s hideous, which means no post. OR sometimes I’ll take a decent photo, get lazy and not post. I’m not sure what happened the last time I […]
It’s funny how we all go through phases of what we crave and eat regularly. While I do make a lot of new dishes each week there are certain recipes that find there way onto my plate somewhat regularly. Oddly enough, this Spicy Szechuan Bean Curd always ends up in […]
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 […]
