Charcutepalooza: Homemade Hot Dogs

On July 15, 2011 · 5 Comments

Ever since I bought Michael Ruhlman and Brian Polcyn’s Charcuterie and started flipping through it I knew that some point I would have to make my own hot dogs. So imagine how pumped I was when this month’s Charcutepalooza was announced and it was all about blending meats [...]

Short Ribs with Red Wine and Port

On May 2, 2011 · 3 Comments

For years I’ve been a part of this online cookbook buying “club” called The Good Cook. It’s similar to the old Columbia House CD buying program where you get a certain number of books for cheap (in this case 4 for $1 each) and then have to buy a few more [...]

The Home-Ground Bacony Brisket Burger

On April 21, 2011 · 5 Comments

A few months ago I bought the Food Grinder attachment for my KitchenAid Stand Mixer. Ever since I bought it, the grinder has been sitting in its box tucked away into the corner. I bought it because I have visions of making my own sausages. Since we haven’t reached that [...]

Parker’s Beef Stew

On April 8, 2011 · 6 Comments

In Toronto, winter is finally making its way on out.  Finally.  We didn’t have such a terrible winter but there’s nothing like 5 or 6 months of cold and grayness to mess with your emotions.  The days are getting longer and the sun is starting to shine a bit brighter.  Summer, [...]

Short Ribs Provencale

It’s no secret that I love me some short ribs.  Earlier this year I made braised short ribs that was delicious as a main course and as a filling for a sandwich. I was in Kensington Market the other day and the butcher had a good deal on short ribs so [...]

Beef and Dark Beer Chili

On October 25, 2010 · 4 Comments

Chili is easily one of my favourite meals.  Give me a big steamy bowl filled with meat and beans and maybe topped with cheese, sour cream and/or green onions and I’m a happy girl.  Usually I don’t make chili with a recipe, I typically just brown some beef with garlic, onions and [...]

Quick Beef Curry with Avocado and Plantains

On October 18, 2010 · 1 Comment

One of my food crushes (who doesn’t come up often here) is Marcus Samuelsson. I first learned about Marcus while living in NYC and watching the Today Show. I then had the opportunity to work (briefly) at the PR company that represented him at the time. Through that experience I was [...]

Ropa Vieja

Recently, I’ve been having a wicked craving for Cuban food.  Problem is there’s barely any Cuban food in Toronto.  I always here about a place called Julie’s Cuban but it gets mixed reviews and I never remember it when I’m picking restaurants.  When I lived in New York there were a [...]

Thai Beef Soup

On February 14, 2010 · Leave a Comment

The other day my work bestie was raving about this soup and gave me the recipe.  I admit it looked pretty delicious and I NEVER covet other people’s lunches.  It sounded right up my alley with all the thai flavour and meatballs (I LOVE meatballs) so convincing me to make it was [...]
