The weather took a turn for the worse this weekend, and for some reason my mind turned to ice cream! Vegan ice cream in particular. Go figure! Maybe I’m longing for the real summer to make an appearance. It’s the Victoria Day weekend (known affectionately as the two-four weekend), which has a history of turning [...]
Since reading an article in the 2nd Lucky Peach edition about miso, I’ve had thoughts of its rumbling around in the back of my head. We usually have a couple of tubs of it in the fridge — the white miso for quick soups, addition to sauces and miso marinades for broiled fish and meat [...]
You asked for it! You got it! This recipe for gluten-free bagels was borne out of two things: a desire to create something without dairy or eggs; and, some mucking around with the gluten-free wild yeast starter I have going.

This may be the first and last non food-related post here, but I wanted to let you all know about a project that has been taking up a fair bit of my time lately, since it is only one week away now! I am one of four women who decided to co-found a women’s conference [...]

In my book, pancakes are pretty awesome, and [...]

This post has been brought to you by the craving of one husband for chicken quesadillas, my realization that there were no amazing deals on chicken parts at the local supermaket, combined with my unwillingness [...]
Valentines Day here has been busy with the very un-romantic task of preparing and processing a few dozen jars of chutney, leaving little time to angst over what to prepare for Valentines dessert! Fortunately, we had some strawberries waiting in the fridge, and some creme fraiche, handy — the basis for the most delicious strawberries [...]
I’ve been doing some test baking here in the last couple of days, and we’ve been swamped with a surplus of gluten-free bread. Lucky for me, I also had a yen for some bread pudding! This recipe is pretty simple. Take some bread (day-old is good!). cut it into cubes and douse it with a [...]
