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 [...]

A few weeks ago in my cooking class it was egg day.  The teacher demonstrated how to make hollandaise, how to poach an egg, how to make various omelettes and then we made quiche.  Now as you may or may not know from reading the blog, eggs freak me out.  You can’t [...]

My quest for the perfect pizza continues. This time the crust recipe came via Everybody Loves Pizza by Penny Pollack and Jeff Ruby.  I can’t remember exactly how I acquired this book but it was likely during my stint interning in network news or when I worked in the TV [...]
