Meyer Lemon Curd

by janice · No Comments

We’re in the dark days of winter here — that stretch where the rain comes with alarming frequency, and even though we’re past the winter solstice mark, the days seems to stretch on in grey dreariness.  We had a brief respite here with a couple of days of snow, which got everyone’s blood moving, and [...]

Fear not the Eggplant! (or the most delicious eggplant you will ever taste)

by janice · No Comments

I love eggplant … in all its forms, all its varieties.  I have, however, learned that not everyone shares that  love with me. I’m not sure if its because people have had a horrible childhood experiences with eggplant, leaving them scarred and gun-shy  but I do know that many times, when I present people with [...]

Vanilla-Coconut Ice Cream

by janice · 2 Comments

This recipe came about due to a lack of dairy products in our fridge, and a late night craving for ice cream! One of the advantages of having a stocked pantry is that there are plenty of canned goods and dry goods on hand — coconut milk being one those things that is usually stocked [...]

Hoisin chicken gets a gluten-free makeover

by janice · No Comments

Ah the glorious flavour profile that is hoisin-sauce.  Affectionately known as Chinese BBQ sauce, it has components of sweet, salty, and savoury all in one!  When you add a little rice vinegar, you get the perfect addition of acid to the mix!  Its a staple in my pantry – perfect for a quick and easy [...]

Gluten-free biscuits

by janice · 2 Comments

Sometimes the simplest things are easy to do, but hard to do really well!  I would venture to say gluten-free biscuits fall into that category.  For a while now, I've been making good gluten-free biscuits, but not amazing ones.  They are more than passable, but still didnt stand up to the wheat-based biscuits I make.

Soup is good food!

by janice · No Comments

In the words of the Dead Kennedys, Soup is Good Food! Winter is almost upon us, and I've been reading through Michael Ruhlman's new book Ruhlman's Twenty which is a recipe book that is really more about working from basic techiques.  And so, with thoughts of the benefits of hot water and its extractive powers, AND faced [...]

Putting things by … Pear-cranberry chutney

by janice · No Comments

I've put by many jars of things this summer and fall, and this week, I had one more request for a large batch of chutney.  I've been making sweet and savoury preserves with seasonal produce, so seldom is there really a recipe.  This time around, I did actually remember to jot down proportions as I [...]

I like my gingerbread … dark and moist!

by janice · No Comments

I've had a request from a client for gingerbread — old fashioned style gingerbread you bake in a square pan, and sometimes top with cream cheese frosting, sometimes with lemon glaze … total comfort food.  In my books, gingerbread should be super moist, studded with raisins, hit the right balance between sweet and bitter (from [...]

vegan chocolate cupcakes

Gluten-free never looked so chocolatey!

by janice · No Comments

A quick drive-by recipe here for gluten-free cupckakes that needed a little more modification than usual — no dairy, no eggs, no soy.   Take a careful look at the ingredients on your chocolate, and chances are it has soy lecithin in it.  Many chocolate manufacturers use soy lecithin as an emulsifier, making for a frustrating [...]
