How To Quickly and Easily Dry Herbs

On October 14, 2011 · 5 Comments

This summer the herbs in my balcony garden thrived.  Perhaps the most bountiful herb was oregano. Problem is that I RARELY use fresh oregano.  Trust me when I say I tried integrating it into a bunch of recipes but I couldn’t keep up with how fast that stuff grew.

When I moved back to Toronto 4 (eek!) years ago I decided to try canning.  I liked the idea of controlling the amount of sugar in my jam as well as being able to use the freshest local produce and trying unique flavour combinations.  Canning can be a lot of work [...]

Spicy Channa

On April 23, 2011 · 7 Comments

I’m always on the hunt for great Indian recipes. I love Indian food and have dreams of recreating dishes that I enjoy at my usual Indian spots.  Sometimes I get things right but oftentimes the results fall short.  I’m guessing because I’m too lazy to grind my own spices and such [...]

It has been almost a year since I last blogged about No-Knead Bread. For awhile I was chronicling my every attempt to perfect my no-knead bread technique (click here for search results) but I honestly haven’t made the bread in awhile.

How To Make Homemade Corn Tortillas

On November 29, 2010 · 2 Comments


I’ve been having a craving for Mexican food as of late.  It was likely spurred by my recent trip to Chicago where I dined at Rick Bayless’ Xoco twice. Toronto isn’t known for its Mexican food so when I have a craving I usually crack open my cookbooks.

Ribollita Soup (Tuscan Bean Soup)

On November 27, 2010 · Leave a Comment

I’m looking out the window and watching the snow and thinking that this would be the perfect time to talk soup.  Soup is one of my favourite things to eat when the thermometer starts to head south.  Soup is easy to make and rarely requires crazy ingredients.  A bonus is that depending [...]

My dear friend Shea posted this recipe for Oven Fries on her fabulous blog, Hungry in Brooklyn that I couldn’t resist trying.  I mean I love fries (I always have a bag of frozen ones in the freezer, guilty pleasure) and never feel like heating up oil to fry [...]

A few months ago I posted about my trip to One Love Vegetarian restaurant where I finally got to try their famous corn soup.  It was delicious and I could totally eat that all the time.

Since corn has been so fantastic this summer I decided to make the soup [...]

Mandy’s Granola

On August 24, 2010 · 4 Comments

It’s not surprise that I love granola.  I’ve blogged about it a bunch of times (just type in granola in the search field at the top).  Granola is one of those things that I can never find just right in the packaged version.  As someone with a serious aversion to raisins I’m [...]
