It would probably be better if you were a simple bricklayer. Just follow the instructions, stay true to your quest, and you shall be rewarded with [...]

Panna Cotta with Raspberry and Blueberry Coulis
Posted in Desserts, Fruit, Recipes, tagged blueberry, coulis, dessert, panna cotta, raspberry, Recipes on March 4, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
This dessert is perfect for dinner parties because you can do all of the preparation work earlier in the day or even the day before. Some people like to get the panna cotta out of the ramekin for serving, but I don’t see the point – it might fall apart, and the ramekin needs to [...]

If you love pecan pie and pumpkin pie, this is the pie for you! Great for Thanksgiving or any time you want sugar hit! I made this fabulous pie for Canadian Thanksgiving last weekend. It’s based on Libby’s Pumpkin Pecan Pie, but with a few modifications. First things first.. the pumpkin… In the past when [...]

Another great recipe from delicious Magazine.. Mom, I think you’ll like this one.. yummy roasted garlic and beets. Two of our faves! Roasted Garlic, Thyme and Beetroot I made this recipe a few months ago but it was so good I have been meaning to add it here for ages. I thought the flavours worked [...]
Seafood Risotto

This is one of Rob’s all-time favourites. It’s always a joy to watch his eyes light up when we’re on the way home from work and he asks “what’s for tea?” and I get to say “Seafood Risotto”. I usually make it with Sainsbury’s Seafood Collection which is a mixture of cooked mussels, king prawns [...]
Banana Bread

This weekend I decided to tackle the growing collection of frost in the freezer. At the back of the freezer, long forgotten about, I found two ripe bananas which I had been saving for banana bread. Since it was a lovely fall weekend, I thought some baking was in order. This recipe is based on [...]
Mushroom Salad
Posted in Recipes, Salads, Side Dishes, Vegetarian, tagged lemon, mushroom, salad on May 18, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I forgot about this recipe for years but it has become a new favourite. I’m not a big fan of raw mushrooms, which might be the reason I haven’t made this salad in ages, but believe it or not, it doesn’t taste like mushrooms! It is still great if you don’t have time to let [...]
Blueberry Muffins

Apologies.. it has been a long time since I’ve written a new post. I’ve been busy finishing up my PhD and unsurprisingly didn’t have any spare writing time. I’ve now pretty much finished it and have started work full-time. I’m planning to return to my blogging and enjoy cooking again. Earlier this week I had [...]
Dauphinoise Potatoes
Posted in Recipes, Side Dishes, Vegetarian, tagged dauphinoise, potatoes, recipe, Vegetarian on November 6, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I discovered this recipe from Masterchef: the Best of British Cooking a few weeks ago and it has quickly become a new favourite. Although it says it serves four people I always have leftovers which are great reheated in the oven or microwave the next day. I typically use more garlic than is called for [...]
Hot Chocolate Pudding
Posted in Desserts, Recipes, tagged chocolate, dessert, pudding, recipe on November 1, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
This is a recipe from my friend Liv for the easiest, yummiest chocolate pudding. I might even call it her signature dish. It’s hot and goey and chocolatey. What more could a girl ask for?… but some ice cream on the side. Easy enough to whip up while your main course is cooking and impressive [...]
