Going for the veg at Mile End Sandwich
Eat your vegetables. How many times has that phrase been overused? Both as a voice in your head reminding you to be healthy and as the nagging refrain that so many children try to ignore. Thankfully, I think we’ve reached a point where “our vegetables” are no longer snoozers such as steamed broccoli or...
Prosciutto, burrata, and peach sandwich: The time I patted myself on the back
“I am my own worst critic” is my understatement of the century. In my opinion, I can do everything worse than you. I never have a good word to speak of myself, and when one is spoken of me, I usually have a trick up my sleeve for convincing you that you’re wrong. Three-plus decades...
No. 7 Sub. Or, when working in close quarters can be a good thing.
Cubicle life is not something you can really avoid anymore. Before I was ever a full-time employee, I thought that the world depicted in The Office, Dilbert, and Office Space was hyperbole of the mundane. Not so much. It really is the most peculiar thing to be surrounded by people you cannot see, but of course, can clearly...

Today’s Special: Spanish mackerel at Num Pang, New York The banh mi is Vietnam’s gift to the sandwich world, but Vietnam is not the only place in that wonderful part of Asia that likes to have fun with two pieces of bread (the French spread themselves around). Cambodia has sandwiches—num pang—made in a similar fashion...
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...
Dinners for Two and a Half: Lomito Sandwiches
One of my first far away adventures was to Chile. Just after final exams wrapped in my third year of university, I flew standby with my two besties to go visit our other bestie in Santiago. Of all the sacrilegious crimes, I was a vegetarian when I went. Yes. To the meat capital of the...

Today’s Special: Roast turkey on a roll, Torrisi Italian Specialties Ah, New York. It’s my favourite place to be. And although I missed out on a traditional Thanksgiving meal, it’s my favourite place to be during my favourite long weekend. Anything you might have heard about autumn in New York is true, but add that...
Clippings: August 18, 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. A tomato salad sandwich sounds like a perfect solo supper. Although it’s unlikely that my cherry obsession will allow me to...

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. I’ve made rice pudding with brown sugar a few times, but this recipe makes me want to do it again,...

Today’s Special: Grilled vegetables and burrata on ciabatta, La Ghianda My favourite restaurant in Vancouver, La Quercia, has a sister daytime deli across the street. Of course I love it also, but given its location, it’s not the most convenient for workday lunches. My frequency there is much less than I’d like it to...

Today’s Special: Pear, prosciutto and blue brie baguette, Finch’s A beloved sandwich in a place as cozy as a grandmother’s parlour. It’s hard to find anything wrong with this combination of a fresh, chewy baguette, creamy, strong cheese, ripe pear and melt-in-your-mouth prosciutto. It’s hard to do anything but find time in your calendar...

Today’s Special: Smoked ham sandwich We all love sandwiches, especially when done well. I hope you’ll see many sandwiches featured here. This one comes from the new-ish little deli and sundry that’s attached to The Dirty Apron cooking school, which is of the Chambar and Cafe Medina family. Cheese, ham, pickled veg, grilled bread...
