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 […]
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. […]
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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
With a cookbook collection of more than 50 cookbooks I recently realized that I have to put the brakes on any further purchases. My latest strategy has been to “test drive” cookbooks on my wishlist from the library. One book that has been on my wishlist for a few months now is […]
