Packing List: Vancouver
The list that details how we will pack our tummies while adventuring away from home can be as essential as the one that reminds us to pack our toothbrush. Here are some post-mortem thoughts on our travels that may be useful to you one day. I’m not sure if I can be called a New Yorker...
Butternut Squash Gnudi with Brown Butter and Crispy Sage
What to do with leftover squash besides make a soup? That was my predicament. Sure, a butternut soup would be good. Add some crusty bread and a green salad, and you’d have a meal worthy of guests. I should say, a healthy meal worth of guests. But I would not be having any guests, and...

Solo Suppers Beyond Cereal: Sausage and Broccolini Pasta
Shamefully, I don’t enjoy drinking alone. This means that I often end up with half-full wine bottles sitting on my counter at the end of the night pleading for me not to empty their contents down the drain. If there’s room, I’ll freeze the wine in ice cube trays. And then forget about them, of...
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...
Tomato, Onion and Butter Pasta Sauce
Simple recipes are always loved. But it’s rare that a simple recipe makes you think, Huh? What?! I mean, you can be surprised at how easy a recipe is and what marvelous results it yields despite its ease. But how often are you surprised-surprised by a recipe? One that contains less than five ingredients...
Baked Tomato Pasta

Today’s Special: May 4, 2011
Today’s Special: Spaghetti all’Amatriciana, La Quercia My favourite pasta at my favourite place in Vancouver. I’ve written about the pasta. I’ve written about the place. Having the experience more than once (I think I’m at eight visits with the next already booked) is truly a treat. I hope I get to have it with...
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. ...
