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 [...]

Sole Amandine with Shredded Brussels Sprouts

On August 7, 2011 · 1 Comment

Going through recent posts it feels like I’ve barely posted any dinner ideas as of late.  Between traveling updates, my balcony garden and lots of desserts, it seems that dinner has fallen to the wayside.  Truth be told in the summer I get a bit lazy and will do a lot [...]

Prosciutto-Roasted Fish with Autumn Vegetables

On May 5, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Since I always keep a stash of fish fillets in my freezer, I’m always on the lookout for new ways to use them up. When it comes to whitefish I don’t have a go-to recipe since I usually make fish a different way each time. What can I say? I like [...]

Asparagus and Shrimp Risotto

On April 29, 2011 · 3 Comments

One of the cookbooks in my collection that continues to delight me is Marcella Says…” by Marcella Hazan. Sure, the recipes tend to be kind of labour intensive (do I REALLY need to peel my bell peppers?) but they really work. I really need to invest in Hazan’s classic cookbook, [...]

Caesar Roasted Fish

On March 24, 2011 · 2 Comments

Every once in awhile I buy a new cookbook and I get my money’s worth very quickly. Recently I’ve been loving Ina Garten aka Barefoot Contessa’s How Easy Is That?. The recipes are delicious and really easy to make. A lot of great dinner party recipes too.

I’m always looking for [...]
