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 [...]

Food Goals for 2012

On December 31, 2011 · 2 Comments

Every year I try to set food-related goals for myself. They can be pretty boring like eat more vegetables or force myself to be more creative (and delicious) like make more charcuterie.

Over the past few years I’ve become increasingly fearless in the kitchen and that it makes it harder to come up with goals [...]

Tortilla Soup

On December 26, 2011 · 2 Comments

It’s officially winter in my neck of the woods but you wouldn’t know it taking a look at the temperatures and the general absence of snow.  Trust me, I’m not mad at any of that.  I like the idea of the seasons changing and the picturesque quality of freshly fallen snow, but when [...]

I recently had the opportunity to attend a session by food blogger Clotilde Dusoulier entitled Eating Words: The Art of Food Blogging, which was held at George Brown College in Toronto.  For those unfamiliar with Clotilde she runs the very popular food blog Chocolate & Zucchini which she started back in 2003.

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 [...]

How to Make Homemade Pop (Soda)

On November 30, 2011 · Leave a Comment

My birthday was a few months ago and it got me thinking about what to get myself.  See, every year for Christmas and my birthday I buy myself a present because frankly, I buy myself THE best presents.  I wasn’t going to buy myself anything because I recently took an impromptu trip but [...]

Bacon Cream Cheese

On November 22, 2011 · 2 Comments

A little while ago the folks at The Siren Group invited me to an event featuring a new product called Skillet Bacon Spread. Given my love for bacon I was intrigued but unable to attend, so the folks at The Siren Group were kind enough to send some of the product [...]

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 [...]
