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 [...]
Shrimp and grits is likely in my top 20 favourite foods. I make it fairly regularly and if I go out and see it on a menu I must order it. Unfortunately shrimp and grits is a bit of an anomaly on Toronto menus so it makes the dish even more special.

I took a little break from Charcutepalooza over the past two months. August’s challenge involved making a terrine, headcheese, trotters or mouselline, none of which I found particularly appealing. September was all about making various types of pâtés, some en crôute. These options were a bit more exciting to [...]
First things first, I have no clue who Nancy is. This recipe comes from Paula Deen’s . I imagine that Nancy is perhaps someone who used to work at the restaurant, or maybe one of Paula’s girlfriends. Who knows. It doesn’t make a difference.

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’m forever on the hunt for amazing macaroni and cheese recipes. Sure, macaroni and cheese is easy enough to make but I’m always looking to find the perfect ration of pasta to cheese to bechamel. My last attempt at mac and cheese was pretty lackluster so I wanted to step [...]
I’ve been having a craving for Mexican food as of late. It was likely spurred by my recent trip to Chicago where I dined at Rick Bayless’ Xoco twice. Toronto isn’t known for its Mexican food so when I have a craving I usually crack open my cookbooks.
