Saturdays are wonderful. The week’s over, everyone’s together, and because there’s the whole of Sunday left for lolling about relaxing together then I always feel like it’s a perfect day for getting all of the little jobs done that you wouldn’t do during the week. It’s also a perfect day for an easily prepared dinner, […]

Miso glazed veg with soba noodles
A while ago I went to the health food store to get some flour. Always one to be taken in by the variety of interesting foods there, I was casually perusing their offerings as I made my way to pay for my flour when a package of red miso paste caught my eye. I was […]
West Indian curry with flat breads
I have been lucky enough in my life to have had the chance to do a bit of traveling. One of my favorite place so far has got to be the beautiful West Indian island nation of Grenada. It’s wonderful. The people are laid back and happy, they have amazing jungles, waterfalls and beaches, and […]
Veggie fried rice
I’ve been thinking about delivery food. There was a time, not so long ago, where not a week would go by with out my ordering food for delivery. I loved it. There’s something inherently satisfying about eating delivery out of it’s tin foil box in front of a good movie, obviously followed by popcorn and […]
Mole black bean chili
I think that if I had to choose one nationality of food to eat exclusively for the rest of my life I’d probably go with Mexican food. I love it. I love the variety, the spicy flavours, the rice, the beans and veggies, the tortillas. And really, any type of cuisine that allows you to […]
Artichoke sun-dried tomato galette
I once visited France. It was beautiful. In Canada one of our two official languages is French and I attended French immersion school wherein, starting in Kindergarten, you do all of your education in French. I love having a second language, but it does get rusty at an alarming rate when not in use, and […]
Spelt and rye pizza dough
I think that among “bad for you” foods, pizza has got to be up there among the worst perpetrators. But really, is pizza that bad? I guess that my opinion is that it can be, or it can be a really healthy and nourishing meal. When I lived in Vancouver I was surrounded by pizza […]
Spanish style barley
I have a great love of barley. It started a year or so ago when I first picked up a bag and thought I’d give it a try. At the time the scope of my grain cooking was more or less restricted to rice with the occasional inclusion of quinoa. I had found this recipe […]
Smoky yam and black bean burgers
First of all, a controversial question; In your world are these… …yams or sweet potatoes? Hmmm… In my world, and that of my family, they’re most definitely yams. But a growing number of people seem to be calling them sweet potatoes. Is this some weird Canadian thing to call it a yam? I would argue […]
Baked lentil and mushroom bulgur kofte
I have a confession to make. As a vegetarian, I kind of feel like it’s my duty, or should be somehow ingrained in my non-meat-eating make-up to be a great lover of all of the vegetarian staples, but here’s the thing, I’m just not. I’m not a massive fan of aubergine and (whisper it) I […]
