Strawberry Cake

On July 31, 2011 · 7 Comments

With my recent strawberry picking exploits I ended up with a lot of berries. I didn’t want to make jam so I needed some ideas. I thought about doing some sort of strawberry rhubarb combo but that didn’t happen. As per usual I took to the interwebs to see what [...]

Baked Eggs with Greens

On July 22, 2011 · 6 Comments

One of my favourite things is a fancy homemade breakfast on the weekends.  Sure I enjoy going out for brunch but I can’t help but find it a bit overrated.  I love restaurants that do unique things with their brunch menu but for the most part I feel like I can [...]

Strawberry Eton Mess

On June 28, 2011 · 11 Comments

Perhaps one of the highlights of eating in London was discovering the joys of Eton Mess.  I enjoyed Eton Mess for the first time at St. John and then again at Hereford Road. I love that it is a really simple dessert and that it’s a great way to showcase [...]

Rhubarb and Strawberry Tart with Brown Butter Streusel

On June 13, 2011 · 10 Comments

Last year I was pretty obsessed with Rhubarb.  I think it was because I was at the farmers market every weekend and was so on top of what was local and in season.  I made a great Rhubarb Strawberry Pudding Cake and a Country Rhubarb Cake and was pretty [...]

Crusty Black Bean Chorizo Subs

On June 7, 2011 · Leave a Comment

My quest to “make things with chorizo” continues.  The most recent Charcutepalooza Challenge was all about making sausage meat and I went the chorizo route. As mentioned in that post, I made chorizo tacos but of course have another pound or two of chorizo to use up so I’ve been [...]

Chorizo, Potato, and Mushroom Tacos

On May 24, 2011 · 2 Comments

Last month’s Charcutepalooza Challenge was all about making sausages (sans casings). I decided to make chorizo because I love to get my Mexican cooking on. Of course when I think of Mexican food I think of Rick Bayless so I turned to him for some inspiration.

I kind of [...]

Charcutepalooza: Grinding

On May 15, 2011 · 1 Comment


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 [...]

Homemade English Muffins

On May 13, 2011 · 6 Comments

So as part of the last round of Charcutepalooza I had the brilliant idea to go all out and make my own English muffins. I mean, I was making Canadian bacon and naturally I would use this as part of Eggs Benedict. I’ve already mastered an easy Hollandaise sauce, [...]

Charcutepalooza: Hot Smoking

On April 15, 2011 · 6 Comments

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 [...]

Chocolate Babka

On March 27, 2011 · 16 Comments

Whenever I hear the word Babka I inevitably think of the Seinfeld episode where Jerry and Elaine try to secure a chocolate babka. I remember watching that episode when it first aired, likely nearly 20 years ago (holy!), and not really knowing what a babka was to begin with. After watching [...]
