I made this yummy recipe from Gourmet magazine the other night with a pack of store-bought gnocchi in my cupboard. I had been struggling to come up with what to do with them and was drawn to this recipe because it wasn’t gorgonzola or tomato based as most gnocchi recipes seem to be. I followed [...]

Thanksgiving – Wild Rice Stuffing
Posted in Grains, Recipes, tagged dressing, food, Grains, recipe, stuffing, thanksgiving, wild rice on October 9, 2007 | 2 Comments »
This year I was determined to have a Canadian Thanksgiving dinner. Usually I get all wrapped up in Freshers’ week activities and forget that Canadian Thanksgiving is coming up. Everyone always asks me why us Canadians have Thanksgiving on a different day than the Americans. So here goes.. In Canada we celebrate on the second [...]

Delicious Big Bowl – Quinoa I’m moving out of my flat in a few weeks and I’ve been trying to use up some of my many opened bags of grains in the cupboard. I have paella rice, risotto rice, wild rice, basmati rice, long grain brown rice, buckwheat groats, quinoa, millet and bulghur. I made [...]
Pork Stroganoff

Tim made this Pork Stroganoff recipe for me last week from the BBC Food website. We didn’t have any blue potatoes, so he used some white ones in the pantry. He also added some sliced runner beans which went very nicely. I find that pork can often be quite dry when cooked, but I liked [...]
Mustard-crusted Tofu with Kale and Sweet Potato

Mustard-Crusted Tofu with Kale and Sweet Potato I came across this Bon Appetit recipe in my weekly Epicurious Recipe Flash a few weeks ago. I’m always looking for new tofu recipes and I had some wholegrain mustard in the fridge that I needed to use up so I thought I’d give it a try. I [...]
Breakfast Kasha
Posted in Breakfast and Brunch, Grains, Recipes, tagged breakfast, food, kasha, recipe on September 14, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I was feeling particularly hungry this morning so I decided to make kasha for breakfast. Kasha has been a part of Eastern European cuisine for many centuries, although in Slavic languages it refers to a porridge made not only from the buckwheat groats used here, but a whole family of porridges made from wheat, buckwheat, [...]
Melissa’s Easy Chocolate Cake
Posted in Desserts, Recipes, tagged birthday, cake, chocolate, dessert, food, recipe on September 12, 2007 | 2 Comments »
This is a seriously easy cake. I think it took me almost as long to lick the bowl out afterwards as it did to make the cake. For anyone who thinks they can’t make a cake, give this one a try. Don’t be put off by the vinegar, it really does work in this cake. [...]
Swedish Puffed Pancake

Except for my dad’s crepes, this yummy pancake from my mom’s cookbook is my favourite weekend breakfast. Swedish Puffed Pancake Serves 4 (or 2 hungry). Mix this up in a few minutes. While it is baking, go and have a long hot shower or go for a quick run. Preheat oven to 350°F/175°C. Sift together: [...]
Thai-style Beef with Spinach

This is another great recipe from delicious magazine (July 2007). I have made it four times and it is always a crowd pleaser. Usually I stick to the recipe below, but when I was staying at my dad’s we didn’t have Thai fish sauce, baby spinach or a red chilli that was big enough. For [...]
Eggplant au Gratin with Feta

This recipe is from a very thick cookbook called Culina Mundi that my dad found at a surplus liquidation store. Culina Mundi is a culinary adventure with more than 500 recipes from 60 famous chefs, which are all documented with fabulous photographs. This is one of those cookbooks that lives on the kitchen counter and [...]
