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.

Latke crust and Vegetable Mini Quiches

March 21, 2017

These mini quiches, cradled in a latke-inspired crust, are perfect little appetizers for brunch or dinner. Not only are they easy to make, but they can be made in advance and enjoyed either cold or slightly warmed. The silky egg filling is almost overflowing with herbs and vegetables, making them fantastic breakfasts on-the-go during the week ...

How to Feed Vegetarian and Gluten-Free Friends: Roasted Squash Gratin

February 1, 2017

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.

Lentil Tacos with Pickled Cabbage, Tahini Cream and Microgreens

January 16, 2017

I absolutely love tacos for a weeknight dinner. They're not only delicious and have endless topping variations, but they're pretty easy and require very little cooking time. Most of the work is actually done at the table by your guests, so you (the chef) just have to put out the toppings (phew!). For this recipe, the toppings I've selected are ...

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 ...

Roasted Stuffed Eggplant for a North African Afternoon

May 18, 2016

Last weekend I had the most uplifting and unique experience: I spent an entire day cooking with two fellow food bloggers. Now, this could have easily been disastrous. Has anyone ever heard the saying “too many cooks spoil the broth”? But luckily, it was a grand afternoon! We decided to each select a recipe within our North African ...

Goat Cheese and Pumpkin Scalloped Potatoes

April 21, 2016

Scalloped potatoes is a very popular dish in my family. I have fond memories of my mom serving her famous gratin with gorgonzola cheese. It’s hard to believe she could get kids to scoff down mouthfuls of blue cheese, but the recipe was that good! This version of scalloped potatoes is not only higher in nutrients thanks to the added ...

Lime and Persimmon Marmalade

March 6, 2016

Marmalade is a creation that is both sweet and tart- and I like to make my own as I prefer it more on the tart side. Especially when heavily slathered with hot butter and toasted baguette! This recipe uses limes which add a heavy citrus note, and is paired with persimmons. If you don’t know what persimmons are, they’re a large ...

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 ...
