Biryani Potatoes and Poached Eggs

March 20, 2016

You know when you’re got so much happening that you feel like you don’t have enough time to take care of yourself? When time has become so precious, that the idea of cooking for an hour seems unfathomable? That’s me right now. We’ve all been there: sacrificing our nutrition for the sake of time. And once in a while, it ...

Honey Pie

February 27, 2016

This isn’t the sort of pie that makes a grand entrance. It isn’t the kind of dessert that has you stewing away in the kitchen for hours on end, nor does it tower above your cups and saucers when presented at the table. It is somewhat of a modest looking pie, but rewards those that give it a chance. This honey pie is incredible. ...

Crispy Potato Bites with Smoked Salmon and Creme Fraiche

February 21, 2016

This weekend was commemorative for me and my partner Ben: this was the weekend our parents met! I knew I wanted to make this dinner special, so we started the meal off with some sparkling cider from Quebec and these crispy potato bites with smoked salmon and creme fraiche. And oh, how decadent they were! The potatoes were extra-crispy thanks ...

Vanilla Earl Grey Shortbread Cookies

February 17, 2016

Is it grey and rainy where you are? This weather is what I would expect London to be like- except colder. Everyone rushing around, sloshing around in the sludge accumulating at various street intersections; white knuckles from clutching their jackets closed as the wind rustles their hair. But one of the best parts about cold and rainy ...

Green Lentil Hummus

February 7, 2016

Did you know, according to the UN, 2016 is the International Year of Pulses? Pulses are dried legumes such as beans, chickpeas, lentils, and peas. Conveniently, us Canadians grow over 30% of the entire pea production globally (we’re so on trend). But if you haven’t quite incorporated these small nuggets of goodness into your ...

Mocha Waffle Torte

February 1, 2016

Valentine’s day is coming up! Will you be mine? 🙂 I have a confession: I’m not big on Valentine’s day. But when my food blogging crew wanted to do a Valentine’s day round-up, I couldn’t refuse! We decided to post our favourite chocolate dessert to celebrate this romantic day and offer some interesting suggestions ...

Whiskey Three-Bean Chili

January 27, 2016

Are you watching the super bowl next weekend? I’m not a huge football fan, but I do love the spirit and excitement it brings. My favourite part is cooking up some delectable delights that are enjoyed by everyone! But with the many dietary restrictions cropping up among friends, it can be hard finding something that suits everyone’s ...

Slow Roasted Za’atar Potatoes

January 21, 2016

Slow-roasted vegetables, particularly potatoes, are heavenly. They become soft and tender on the inside but earn a crispy and caramelized outside. Add za’atar, a Middle Eastern spice mix, and you’ve got a heavenly pan of goodness! Incredibly flavourful, this dish will surely be a hit. Not to mention perfect for winter months when ...

Grainy Doughnuts with Chocolate Glaze

January 14, 2016

So it’s January, we’re all bundled up and the snow is blowing. And the cold makes us crave comfort foods to warm us from the inside out, such as sweet treats to soften the onset of S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder totally exists). But you can’t have delicious and unhealthy treats, no sir. Because you’ve promised ...

Coconut Rice Pudding

January 7, 2016

Rice pudding gets a bad rap. Most of us think of the thick and bland dish often served in cafeterias or pre-made in little plastic dishes. The rice tended to be overlooked, too thick or too watery, and not particularly appetizing. I think homemade rice pudding makes for the best January dessert. Why, you ask? You can enjoy it warm or cold, and ...
