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 ...

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 ...

Potato Waffles and Pomegranate Molasses

December 20, 2015

Waffles are one of my favourite breakfast foods. The extra effort required to whip them up makes them a weekend special, and they’re always rated first-class during brunch. But, like any classic, it can also be fun to give them a bit of a new flavour. These waffles are stuffed full of- you guessed it- mashed potatoes! I mixed in some ...

Jerk Roasted Fingerling Potatoes with Cilantro Dipping Sauce + GIVEAWAY {closed}

November 18, 2015

I have a confession to make: I hate eating finger-foods. Or, I should say that I hate to eat them with my fingers. To me it is messy and unnecessary. Call me a prude, but I would rather eat fork-foods. Or would that just be called… food? For those who love finger-foods, this is the perfect entertaining staple. The slight nuttiness of the ...

Shrunken Potato Heads

October 21, 2015

Creeping ghosts, sneering goblins, cackling witches, and even glowing pumpkin faces. We know all the classic Hallowe’en characters, especially as we get ready for this favourite holiday. But what about shrunken heads? I mean, they’re probably the scariest of the bunch. So why don’t they become a part of the gang? I decided ...

Spicy Potato Chickpea Cakes

September 22, 2015

I’ve been hankering for a good falafel lately. Normally, you wouldn’t find this particular craving odd, but I’m not a huge fan of falafels, for one, and I also can’t remember the last time I’ve had one. But after day three of having falafel dreams drenched in garlic sauce, I knew I had to do something. These ...

Senegal Potato Salad

August 25, 2015

Have you ever tasted Senegal butternut squash soup? It’s a mildly spicy-sweet soup enhanced with the slight taste of peanuts. It is so decadent and a true pleasure to eat. And lately, I’ve been thinking about this soup like a love crush. You know the feeling- you think about it all day, dreaming of the next time you will meet, ...

Summer fondue

July 22, 2015

Using the barbecue is definitely one of the highlights of summertime for me. I used to be afraid to use it- the hissing of the propane and the high heat was intimidating. But after a bit of practice, I can happily say that I now know my way around the barbecue almost as much as I know my way around an oven. And in terms of this idea that a ...

Incorporating both diced and mashed potatoes, it is a delicious way to use up leftover potatoes. Because really, does anyone truly enjoy eating reheated mashed potatoes? I guarantee you this will make your cold mashed potatoes taste ...

Rye Potato tart with Blue Cheese and Radicchio

May 25, 2015

You may argue this is a fall recipe. But I disagree- a light but rich tart is a perfect hot-evening meal, especially when it is served with a fresh green salad. Not to mention a slightly cool glass of wine and an evening breeze to make you forget your troubles. This tart is perfectly scrumptious. The rye crust is subtle and buttery, offering ...
