Came across this great recipe for braised short ribs - you have to try this. I've tried others but they just had an overpowering tomato taste or smoky taste (neither of which I have an objection to in moderation). It does take a while to make, but one of those things you can start, put in the [...]
Today (Sunday), I was one of three finalists that participated in the Gourmet Grilled Cheese competition at the Good Food and Drink Festival. The winning sandwich - The "Indo-Canadian Grilled Cheese Sandwich - Eh!" was mine - I WON! The event host was the incomparable Mairlyn Smith, Professional Home Economist and TV Celebrity, Second City Alumnus - and one of the [...]
Another soup recipe in the making for you. I used Chicken Stock this time, same recipe for making the stock as last week except substitute equal amounts of Chicken for Turkey. Make the stock the same way as you did for the Turkey Vegetable soup. You can also make this using a vegetable stock if [...]
Had this in a restaurant a while back, just completely forgot about it until Gastropost put out a challenge for creative uses for Avocado's. I also made it using Portobello Mushrooms cut into 1/4" strips as well, it would be good to try with other items like Asparagus, Squash, Kohlrabi etc - just adjust the baking times. The best [...]

In the colder months of the year, I love comfort soups, in the warmer months – cold soups. We have soup for lunch Monday to Friday. Different types, some from recipes, other’s from ingredients I see from my trips to the grocers. So I thought I would make this a weekly posting. This week’s soup [...]
My favourite dishes contain heat, I mean Habanero or Thai Chili style heat. It is a flavourful but potent heat which could, for some, have - ahem, lingering side effects. But it's not just the heat I like, I want taste with heat. Heat alone just burns your tongue and if you like this - all the [...]
Yes, it's that time of year again. When things that ain't normally green - turn green. So, being the rebel that I am, here is a recipe for a good old fashioned Irish Soda Bread (not green) which I have adapted (of course). It's from the kind folks at All Recipes. I've made it twice now, once [...]
