Pork Dumpling Soup

On January 30, 2012 · 1 Comment

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 [...]

Cajun Jambalaya

On January 23, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Every once in awhile I get these random cravings for things that I rarely eat.  Take this jambalaya for instance.  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 [...]

Ginger-Sesame Steamed Fish

On December 11, 2011 · Leave a Comment

I’m always on the hunt for different things to eat.  I go through phases where I’ll eat vegetarian for days on end (unintentionally) and then stretches where I’m basically a carnivore (equally unintentionally).  I often find myself looking for balance and often turn to fish.  Usually my go-to fish is salmon, pretty much [...]

Best Ever Shrimp and Grits

On December 8, 2011 · 4 Comments

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.

The other [...]

Salmon in a Bengali Mustard Sauce

On November 16, 2011 · Leave a Comment

As I’ve mentioned before salmon is a staple in my kitchen. For better or worse. Truth be told I’m getting kind of tired of salmon. It’s not the most interesting fish. It’s ALWAYS around. And it’s an easy fish to make look good. Maybe I just need a challenge, but I’m [...]

Tea-Smoked Salmon

On October 24, 2011 · 4 Comments

A few weeks (months? time flies) ago thanks to The Twitters I was connected with the folks at one of my fave tea shops, David’s Tea. They sent over 3 different teas for me to do some experimenting in the kitchen with: Exotica, The Glow and Honeybush Lemon Ginger.

Mussels in Spicy Tomato Sauce

On October 10, 2011 · 5 Comments

I first wrote about mussels a few months here and it was the first time I had ever made mussels. Since then I have made that recipe a few times and it continues to be delicious.

Mussels are something that I make when I have the apartment to myself.  My [...]

Corn Chowder

On October 5, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Now that fall has really set in it is officially soup weather.  I LOVE soup weather.  Problem is, I also love summer.  Le sigh.  I feel like corn chowder solidly bridges that gap.  I mean corn to me screams summer.  Local corn starts showing up in the markets around the same [...]

Baked Chicken Meatballs with Peperonata

On September 22, 2011 · 3 Comments

For whatever reason, sometimes I’ll make dinner and forget to take a photo which means no post. Or sometimes I’ll take a photo and it’s hideous, which means no post. OR sometimes I’ll take a decent photo, get lazy and not post. I’m not sure what happened the last time I [...]

Fragrant Ginger-Lime Chicken Fingers

On August 29, 2011 · 1 Comment

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 [...]
