This is a recipe from Lorraine Pascale. Another you must try this dish. I’ve adapted the recipe a bit – my notes, as always are in italics. I served it with some roasted vegetables - delicious! We like it hot so I used a combination of Thai and Habanero Chilies along with some “Tabasco sauce with [...]
Happy New Year everyone! Is it cold enough for you? Well it's cold enough for me. We may not be under a polar vortex, but it's darn cold outside. So you need some soup to warm you up. And, you need a fast (I'm being asked by many of you for fast), easy (I'm being [...]
This is a great dish for a meal or can stand alone as an appetizer on a bed of Arugula or as a side with some fish or meat. I call it a Vegetarian Strudel as it uses pre seasoned/cooked in-season vegetables baked in a golden sheet of puff pastry. The best part of this [...]
I’m not really a fish person so when I find a tasty fish that consistently provides me with good flavour and texture, I stick with it. Arctic Char is one of my favourite fishes and very tasty no matter the cooking method. I think it is also a very well kept secret as most people have [...]

Throw in meatballs, the kind [...]
Here’s an easy fish recipe with three components – topping, the fish itself and crackling made from the skin. I used a salmon filet (or fillet) but you could really use any type of fish and either pieces or whole fish. What makes this dish is the really simple parsley topping and the salted crackling. [...]
The sun was peeking through the clouds yesterday, in and out and in and out. So when it finally decided to stay out around 3, I decided to bbq. I know, I just bbq'd a few days ago, but it's summer (well almost). Anyway, here is a great recipe for a Spiced Coconut Salmon on [...]
I was instructing at the Loblaws at Bayview Village yesterday and made this recipe. It looks like a lot of ingredients but it isn't, so do try it. It is a great lunch or dinner menu item. Picture below is this dish (the eggs were cooked in a muffin tin) served with sautéed Cremini/Shiitake Mushrooms and [...]

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 [...]
