Copycat Levain Bakery Cookies
It took five years and four trips to New York City for me to finally find the time to make it up to the Upper West Side to visit the famous Levain Bakery. There are few “best of” type shows on the Food Network or “best of” NYC lists that don’t mention how amazing and...

The internet is a great source for all things foodie, and we’re constantly bookmarking, starring, and emailing intriguing recipes, food porn, and inspiration. Here’s a selection of clippings we think are worth checking out. Salty honey pie. You had me at salt. More salty-sweet goodness: chocolate chip bars with a pretzel crust. When I think...

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Loaf

Today’s Special: November 2, 2011
Today’s Special: Sweet and sour eggplant, Ensemble I know I’m not alone when I say that Dale was not my favourite contestant on Top Chef Canada. My Alberta roots were fond of Connie and my Eastern sensibilities bet on Rob to win. But, Dale won, and we all moved on. Dale moved on by opening...
Solo Suppers Beyond Cereal: Arepas
What’s something else I can make to work my way through a large bag of masa? Arepas. Just think of them as Venezuelan unfilled pupusas. They can be enjoyed hot out of the pan and slathered with butter as a quick snack, or more commonly, split open and filled (with anything your heart desires, really)....
