Mediterranean Meatball Stew

February 20, 2017

When I come home from a long afternoon of running errands, cheeks cold from the nipping wind and recovering from the slight breathless feeling from climbing over snowbanks and trudging through slush, I have an insurmountable hunger that comes a-knocking. Perhaps you know him- his name is Winter Hunger. Oh, and there's a giveaway too!

Garlic Scape Pasta Primavera

June 28, 2016

Garlic scapes are one of my favourite summertime vegetables. The long and twisting vegetable curls and pokes in all directions when they are presented at the local market, hanging over the edges of each basket messily. When you buy them they tend to come in large quantities- almost at a point when you’re not quite sure what you could ...

Japanese Miso Tofu Bowl

April 1, 2014

You know when you go to a restaurant, and weeks later you keep thinking about one dish in particular? This happened to me recently when I went to Café Falco, a Japanese coffee shop/restaurant for lunch.

Truffle-stuffed Chicken and Lemon Asparagus

May 17, 2013

Imagine a tender chicken breast, wrapped in Canadian prosciutto. Now imagine you cutting into that chicken, and having a warm and gooey truffle-mushroom and mozzarella center oozing out, scenting the air with the deep and pungent aroma of truffles. With each bite the saltiness of the prosciutto, the tenderness of the chicken, and the richness ...

Shrimp and Coriander Pasta Salad

April 30, 2013

I am sorry for the lack of radio-waves, my friends! I took a quick trip to Costa Rica with my boyfriend last week: we had a wonderful time! It is a breathtakingly beautiful country. I was hoping to find culinary inspiration down there, but instead all I could think about was trying this delectable salad recipe that I had spotted before ...

Lemon Asparagus Risotto with Smoked Salmon

April 22, 2012

Sometimes, after a long hard day at work, the last thing you want is to cook yourself a delectable feast. Often times, I find myself eating leftovers or even snacking throughout the evening! Which isn’t ideal for many reasons. Mostly because it just isn’t as fun. But sometimes, cracking open a bottle of bubbly and having a dear ...
