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 […]
Man oh man! Where does time go? My last post was January 30th and here we are sitting at the end of March. Needless to say the past few months have been kind of crazy… “kind of” being a serious understatement. I’m actually writing this as I listen to Justin Timberlake’s new CD […]
As I mentioned in a recent post, I love me some beef cheeks. I like them so much that after first making them I called the butcher to order 5lbs of them so I could always have a stash of beef cheeks in my freezer. They are that good.
When I got […]
A few weeks back I was doing my weekly Kensington Market run when I decided to stop in my favourite butcher, Sanagan’s Meat Locker. Sanagan’s is a tiny butcher shop that stocks all types of responsibly raised, local meats. They do a good job of identifying which farm the meat is from […]
Ever since I bought Michael Ruhlman and Brian Polcyn’s and started flipping through it I knew that some point I would have to make my own hot dogs. So imagine how pumped I was when this month’s Charcutepalooza was announced and it was all about blending meats […]

A few months ago I bought the Food Grinder attachment for my KitchenAid Stand Mixer. Ever since I bought it, the grinder has been sitting in its box tucked away into the corner. I bought it because I have visions of making my own sausages. Since we haven’t reached that […]
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, […]
My French food kick continues! This time around I decided to make Julia Child’s Boeuf Bourguignon from . This dish figured prominently in the movie ‘Julie and Julie’ and since watching the movie months ago this dish has been on my list of things […]
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 […]
