Grilled Cheese and Squash Sandwich
It’s already February. It’s already February, and I haven’t written one post about the cooking I did over the Christmas holidays. If January went by this fast, it’s sure to be Easter in no time. And then summer. And then Thanksgiving. And then Christmas again. If this is aging, I don’t mind so much because...
Clippings: September 29, 2011
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. Don’t balk at these “oven-fried” onion rings. They’re made with potato chips! Tired of grilled cheese? How about some new-fangled...

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. Waking up to these lemon raspberry rolls on a sunny Sunday morning would not be too shabby. I know we’ve...
Clippings: July 21, 2011
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. Here’s a recipe for baking sheet macaroni and cheese. The type of dish you make and savour… and then ask whomever...
Pupusas and Curtido
This might be my proudest cooking moment to date. It’s right up there with making bagels. I. made. pupusas. I’m proud not because they were terribly difficult, but because I accomplished what I thought was impossible; I replicated a meal I’ve gone out for countless times, craved countless times, and thought would only ever come...
Solo Suppers Beyond Cereal: Baked squash pasta
Another solo dinner dealing with kitchen dregs. Waste not, want not, right? Solo dining on a budget is almost always trying to not overlook what you have despite continually thinking that you don’t have enough to make something delicious. Pasta is a staple, as is chicken broth, and bringing up the rear are frozen...
Baked Tomato Pasta
Pasta pasta pasta. It probably shows up in my posts as often as Mark Bittman. You know I love it. And it’s so easy. And with barely any effort, you can pull off something that’s worthy of guests. This is one of those recipes. And and and, you can spend time with your guests...
Ricotta Gnocchi
Another Mark Bittman post. What can I say? I’m a big fan. (How many times have I said this before?) I could easily turn the Cream part of this blog into a Rhianna & Mark journey a la Julie & Julia, but if you follow along, you know that I do use recipes from...
Today’s Special: April 1, 2011
Today’s Special: Pecorino versus Parmigiano Do you have a preference for one or the other for grating on your pasta? While my heart belonged for a long time to parmigiano, I’ve been stepping out a lot lately with pecorino. Pecorino’s saltiness is much more assertive and it never gets pushed aside by other flavours. ...
Solo Suppers Beyond Cereal: Croque monsieur
When I started making this famous French sandwich one night and thinking of its inspiration — my friend and former classmate Sarah’s blog Edible Witness — I was reminded of a very fond sandwich memory of when I attended school with Sarah in Toronto. Having just started graduate school, budgets and studying meant that socializing...
Solo Suppers Beyond Cereal: Greek pasta
So, I’m about 10 years behind the times. I’ve only just begun to watch the HBO series The Wire. The important thing is, I’m catching up. And with my summer television only decent on Sunday nights, I’m unapologetic about needing a little couch time in the evenings. The outdoor weather is lovely, but I’ve always...
Solo Suppers Beyond Cereal 4
I admit it. I got sucked into the sacrilege that was Top Chef Masters. I bemoaned the lack of Tom’s presence and (yes, really) missed Padma, but I enjoyed it still. Rick Bayless made it for me, as did Zooey Deschanel’s food restrictions. In honour of Rick, I made his tortilla soup a little while...
