An unusual and delicious savoury jam that you can use in a variety of ways. The thing I liked best was an appetizer I made of crostini with a slice of brie and a spoonful of homemade tomato jam. The crispiness of the crostini with the creaminess of the cheese (you could use goat cheese, too) and the...+ READ MORE

I live for summer rolls and can't help but to order them nearly every time that I go to a Thai restaurant. But you really don't need to go to a restaurant to order them because they are super easy to make at home. In a recent issue of Body and Soul magazine, I found an even better take on...+ READ MORE

Last week, in our campaign to Save the Leftover Bread, we covered how to make homemade breadcrumbs and gave you a reason why spaghetti with crispy crumbs and brown bread ice cream).

I really wanted to make this part of my series on farmers' market dinners, but sadly, there were no ramps when I went to the market last week. Given that the ramp season is so short, I ended up making this tart anyway. It's still a good savoury tart for spring and you are still getting lots of...+ READ MORE

I love when I find a great local cheese to enjoy. We have two wonderful creameries nearby, Split Creek Farms and Happy Cow. Both produce some really good cheese, in fact Split Creek Farms often wins some impressive awards for the best goat cheese in the nation. But the fact of the matter is that it...+ READ MORE

I was a bit surprised at first to see how much Indian inspired food there was on my recent trip to Kenya. After a bit of reading, I discovered that when the British colonized Kenya, they brought indentured Indians with them to build the Kenyan-Uganda Railway. Obviously they kept some of their food...+ READ MORE

It's always fun to get a bunch of people together to watch a sporting event. These parties are usually pretty relaxed casual affairs, and the food often reflects that. Nobody wants delicate, nuanced flavours and fine wine. They want a bowl of spicy chili and a bottle of beer. I was looking for...+ READ MORE

My daughter has been encouraging me to try doing ribs, even though she doesn't normally eat meat. Most of the recipes I found were had really sweet barbeque sauce or ketchup bases. What I really wanted was a sticky Asian style rib, so I just made it up as I went along. The meat fell off the bone and...+ READ MORE

I'm going to have to get the Christmas baking started soon, and I'm responsible for the potato latkes for two parties for Hanukkah. First, it is these delicious pistachio and chive goat cheese on puff pastry wafers. Don't let the long looking recipe scare you off, it is really very easy.+ READ MORE
