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 [...]

Charcutepalooza: Pork Rillette

On October 15, 2011 · 3 Comments

I took a little break from Charcutepalooza over the past two months. August’s challenge involved making a terrine, headcheese, trotters or mouselline, none of which I found particularly appealing. September was all about making various types of pâtés, some en crôute.  These options were a bit more exciting to me [...]

Charcutepalooza: Sausage Time

On June 14, 2011 · 10 Comments

Alas!  The Charcutepalooza challenge I’ve been waiting for: Sausage-making.

When I first set out to do Charcutepalooza one of the things I was most looking forward to doing was making sausage. Making sausage just seemed so… hardcore. I mean you need a grinder, a sausage stuffer, all kinds of meat [...]

Bucatini All’Amatriciana

A few months ago I was at this great shop in my hood called Culinarium trying to use up a recent Groupon purchase. Culinarium takes the idea of being a “locavore” to another level and only stocks products made/grown in Ontario. For awhile I would buy my bacon there all [...]

Charcutepalooza: Grinding

On May 15, 2011 · 1 Comment


For this month’s Charcutepalooza challenge we inch our way closer to making sausage by exploring the world of grinding. And yes, I feel slightly dirty typing the word “grinding” repeatedly (I’m secretly a 13 year-old boy).

Now grinding isn’t new to me. I broke out my grinder a few [...]

Charcutepalooza: Hot Smoking

On April 15, 2011 · 6 Comments

This month’s Charcutepalooza challenge was all about hot smoking. The apprentice challenge was to hot smoke salmon while the charcuterie challenge was to hot smoke either a pork loin or a pork shoulder.

When I first read smoked salmon I was super excited because I LOVE smoked salmon. After doing [...]

Chicken Tinga with Potatoes, Avocado and Fresh Cheese

For whatever reason I’m often craving Mexican food. You’d think after my Mexican feast in Stratford with Pilar Cabrera Arroyo that my desire for Mexican food would be squashed. So not the case! Since I was still craving the goodness I pulled out my Rick Bayless cookbooks and started [...]

Cochinita Pibil

On December 4, 2010 · 2 Comments

In my latest quest to prepare a Mexican feast I opened up Rick Bayless’ Mexican Everyday. I wanted a recipe that would be meaty and last me a few days so that I could have lunches for a few days.  A big piece of meat lends itself great to that [...]

Pulled Pork

On November 2, 2010 · 2 Comments

Pulled pork is totally one of my fave foods.  I’m forever craving pulled pork sandwiches.  While I love the pulled pork at Buster Rhino’s I can’t get there often enough. I do need to head over and get a TON of it for my freezer. With few decent pulled pork [...]

Cantonese Sweet and Sour Pork

On April 28, 2009 · 1 Comment

I’m always on the hunt for great Chinese food recipes.  Sure, sometimes I’m after more “authentic” dishes, but sometimes I just want some good old North American/Chinese food.  We’re talking Chinese food like your favourite “round the way” spot.  Battered, fried and saucy.  I’m not afraid to admit that.

One of my guilty pleasures [...]
