Above: Herb Soup with Eggplant Bacon This time last year, Toronto (and most of the east coast) was cold and covered in a fairly fresh blanet of snow. Last week, it was summertime hot--26C degrees and sunny--which was only about... Continue reading

vegetable tagine with preserved lemons
Image
Tagine is a stew as easy as any other to make, but I hardly ever attempted it at home, preferring to eat it at a restaurant, strongly preferring to eat it on travels where Morrocan cuisine is established. The reason,... Continue reading

fried olives--worth it, it turns out
Image
I'd seen many a fried olive recipe and picture and wondered "what for?" Olives are perfect on their own, especially if you seek out the best importers (or are lucky to have one on your street, like me) and over... Continue reading

burrata with pumpkin seed pesto and chlies
Image
Not a recipe, just a suggestion. I've sung the praises of burrata before. So good, I like to have it as simply as possible: Grill or lightly toast a thick, airy slice of bread, rub it lightly with a cut... Continue reading

wild arugula salad with parmesan snow
Image
So fussy, to say Parmesan snow! But the texture of the cheese is an essential component of this salad--our "house" salad if we had to choose one. And it's the only fussy part of this salad too--except I would encourage... Continue reading

chocolate banana stuffed french toast pockets, with maple syrup and cream
Image
This is casual fare, to be sure. Kid-stuff. Food to be eaten on the couch. Or, you know, to be served to guests at a dinner party. Guests who will love you for it. Because where else are they going... Continue reading

The lazy, Sunday night, spaghetti dinner party. That wasn't. I am selling this to you as the dinner party that you make for friends on a Sunday night, when you want to be surrounded by loved ones who will surround... Continue reading

bright

I was recently reminded that the thing my house is missing is a dose of neon. Something fluorescent. A splash of acid on the wall or across the floor. And it needs to happen in my dining room. I've always... Continue reading

first taste: soup and rice
Image
Childhood picture books, stories and TV shows that depicted food and dining made a real impression on me. Illustrations of steaming bowls of pasta or a piece of toast smothered in purple jam gave me my first taste of foods... Continue reading

i'm excited to know this book exists! my favourite fermented food is rice flour, because it leads to my aunt making delicious hoppers for breakfast. i'm learning about fermentation right now. i have a jar of lemons, sitting, brining, for a painfully slow 30 days.

a real pickle: preserved lemons

I "learned" to bake last year, by which I mean I no longer fly past any recipe that calls for flour. Now, while my eyes still grow wide and I stop breathing as I read through a recipe containing flour,... Continue reading

an indulgent, deep-winter dinner party

(and a guide to help you pull off the night perfectly!) There are those dinner rituals reserved for winter, the ones that involve an extra-stuffed grilled cheese sandwich, chowder, hot chocolate--sometimes all in the same night. I'm all for those.... Continue reading

risotto-stuffed chard bundles with browned butter oyster mushrooms

These were the star of the night, and I should tell you, they shared a table with a banana cream pie. It was Lana who reminded me that chard leaves make such pretty packaging, they look so special side by... Continue reading

cauliflower in a leek cream sauce

I said cream right in the title or this "recipe", if you can call it that, so don't be shocked with how idulgent it is, please. To be even more straightforward, this is tender cream-coloured cauliflower, tossed in warmed cream... Continue reading

There is the camp that claims to have loved Brussels sprouts since childhood (kids far more mature than I was) and the camp that was converted when we learned how amazing they are when roasted or fried until caramelized. Then... Continue reading

I confess to have plucked this recipe from the pages of a magazine and inserted it into my dinner party menu solely based on its looks (the magazine image looked prettier than mine, as you might imagine). Had I stopped... Continue reading

banana cream pie

The reason this recipe even made it into my dinner party is because you can make almost all of it the day before. Being someone who often forgets to think of dessert when planning a menu, and someone with a... Continue reading
