I’ve been doing some thinking these days and I’ve come to the conclusion that ribs are probably in my top 10 favourite foods. Not only are there multiple cuts of ribs, but so many flavour possibilities once you start integrating recipes from different cultures. Sure, barbecue ribs are delicious but who doesn’t love […]
I’ve been thinking a lot about this here blog these days. October will mark 6 years doing What’s On My Plate…. it’s crazy how time flies. I first started What’s On My Plate as a way to track recipes that I’ve tried that I’ve liked. Food blogging has definitely provided some fun opportunities […]
As a food lover, I’m always reading about food. Wednesdays are pure gold when the newspapers typically do their food sections but on a day-to-day basis it’s all about blogs. Truth be told, I rarely make things that I see on other blogs. Usually I just get inspired by what I see and either […]
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 me […]
Alas! The Charcutepalooza challenge I’ve been waiting for: Sausage-making.
When I first set out to do Charcutepalooza one of the things I was most looking forward to doing was making sausage. Making sausage just seemed so… hardcore. I mean you need a grinder, a sausage stuffer, all kinds of meat […]
A few months ago I was at this great shop in my hood called Culinarium trying to use up a recent Groupon purchase. Culinarium takes the idea of being a “locavore” to another level and only stocks products made/grown in Ontario. For awhile I would buy my bacon there all […]
For this month’s Charcutepalooza challenge we inch our way closer to making sausage by exploring the world of grinding. And yes, I feel slightly dirty typing the word “grinding” repeatedly (I’m secretly a 13 year-old boy).
Now grinding isn’t new to me. I broke out my grinder a few […]
This month’s Charcutepalooza challenge was all about hot smoking. The apprentice challenge was to hot smoke salmon while the charcuterie challenge was to hot smoke either a pork loin or a pork shoulder.
When I first read smoked salmon I was super excited because I LOVE smoked salmon. After doing […]
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 […]
In my latest quest to prepare a Mexican feast I opened up Rick Bayless’ . I wanted a recipe that would be meaty and last me a few days so that I could have lunches for a few days. A big piece of meat lends itself great to that […]
