I think I did a doubletake when I read the publication details of Heidi Swanson‘s Super Natural Cooking and Super Natural Every Day in the introduction of her latest book in this series: Super Natural Simple. 2007 and 2011, respectively. Really, has it been 14 years since the first book in the Super Natural series was published? Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Super Natural Simple”
It has been a decade since Hetty McKinnon started her salad delivery business in Surry Hills, Sydney, Australia. From the small kitchen in her home on Arthur Street, she would pack up her salad boxes and deliver them on her bike to the people who lived and worked in her neighbourhood. Through delivering nourishing meals to customers, she began to Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: To Asia, With Love”
Torta della Nonna by Emiko Davies — literally translated as “Grandmother’s Cake” — is a collection of classic Italian baking recipes. I have written before about the comfort that familiar recipes offer and, in the case of Emiko Davies’ latest book (a compilation of dessert recipes from her earlier Italian cookbooks — Florentine, Aquacotta, and Tortellini at Midnight — review here), she offers many Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Torta della Nonna”
What began with all the best of intentions has me looking at the calendar wondering where the time went and what the heck happened with my gift guide? (Not only this, I can hardly believe we’re rolling into a new decade and my blog is going into it’s fifth year). So, I can tell you what happened with the gift guide — too much choice!

Bento originates from a culture where ritual and presentation plays an important part of daily life, and where a lot of focus and energy goes into producing, cooking, eating, and talking about food. A bento is a neatly packed portion of food you take with you to work or school, prepared at home or bought ready-made on your way to work. (9)
I can picture my first lunchbox now in all its glory: a canary yellow plastic lunchbox with a Cabbage Patch sticker on it and with a matching thermos inside. As a parent I can see the strategy in giving your child a cool lunchbox — it will make lunch Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Bento Power”
When I made the choice to become a vegetarian over a decade ago, I had to re-learn what I knew about vegetables. At that time, I came to fully realize that vegetables aren’t just for salads and that being a vegetarian means that it’s not just vegetables but also plants in general I needed to focus on. Since it was Continue reading “Book Club Friday Fun Edition: The Complete Vegan Cookbook”
My hope is that you’ll find recipes in this book as delicious and satisfying as they are straightforward and achievable. (3)
Cooking is a language that I speak fluently. Like Rosie Daykin, I use that language to say things to those around me. I want people to taste the effort, taste the love. And, part of being able to cook for someone isn’t about showing off the latest culinary technique or hard-to-find ingredient it’s all about making food that’s Continue reading “Book Club Friday Fun Edition: Let Me Feed You”
One of these days I’m going to start preserving and canning, all I must do is to overcome my very real fear of botulatizing my family. And, it’s not for lack of trusted sources — take Marisa McClellan for example. She is all about food in jars. I even Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: The Food in Jars Kitchen”
When I was a kid my mom’s signature cookie was peanut butter. I can see her now standing at the kitchen counter, right beside our old avocado-coloured range, rolling the cookie dough into balls then carefully impressing the back of the fork into the tender dough forming a crosshatch pattern. Baking lends Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: The Little Island Bake Shop”
School represents a huge milestone in the life of a kid. Last fall my daughter, who’s 5 years old, started to stay at her preschool group until 1pm twice a week. Not only was I excited because my baby was getting older and regular school is on the horizon, but it was an opportunity to test-drive different lunch options. As a former primary Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Modern Lunch”
