How To Feed Series: Clementine Fennel Potatoes

April 20, 2017

Inspired by one of my favourite recipes from "Jerusalem: A Cookbook" by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi, the mix of flavours in this dish is absolutely wonderful. Orange, fennel, thyme, mustard seeds and a generous dose of ouzo (an anise-flavoured aperitif) makes a perfect accompaniment to chicken, fish or even chickpeas.

Feeding people with dietary constraints is both rewarding and challenging. It can be tough to find recipes that suit restricted diets but are still delightful enough for a weekend dinner with friends. But when the recipe turns out and the guests are raving, that is the rewarding part.

Chorizo and Chicken Paella

November 16, 2016

Paella is a dish I absolutely love. The crispy bits of rice, the abundance of well-seasoned seafood, and of course the generous dose of spices. This Chorizo and Chicken Paella is nothing short of delicious but with more winter-friendly ingredients for us Canadians during the cold winter months. I love the mix of chicken and spicy sausage, ...

Garlic Scape Pasta Primavera

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 ...
