Let’s take the pressure off — the kitchen isn’t a place where we have to perform (7)
There is entirely too much truth in what Meike Peters says in the open lines of her latest cookbook 365: A Year of Everyday Cooking & Baking. Day in, day out it feels as though, as home cooks, we’re always “on” — 365 days a year. There’s that popular Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: 365 – A Year Of Everyday Cooking & Baking”
Sometimes cookbooks are sent to me and I have no clue what kinds of recipes I’m going to find. Such was the case with Jillian Harris and Tori Wesszer‘s Fraiche Food, Full Hearts cookbook, which was sent my way back in September. I kind of knew who Harris Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Fraiche Food, Full Hearts”
I am an avid MasterChef Canada viewer — there I said it — but it’s true. Back in early 2014 when I was pregnant, I really got into reality cooking competition shows. I found it completely fascinating how Canadians from all different Continue reading “Book Club Friday Fun Edition: Kitchen Party”

True story — when I was little my mom asked me if Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: The Forest Feast Mediterranean”
While I might live in the gorgeous Canadian coastal city of Halifax now that wasn’t always the case. Born in Edmonton, Alberta I grew up in a household with a rich, Ukrainian cultural heritage — my dad, the son of Ukrainian immigrants, grew up on a farm just outside Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: The Prairie Table”
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”
One of the most difficult aspects of becoming a vegetarian was how (I thought) meals and gatherings would change once I didn’t eat meat, as so many of the annual celebratory meals include it. A Christmas turkey, an Easter ham, or the Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Vegan Goodness – Feasts”
Yesterday was glorious. As I stood at the end of my driveway chipping ice under the bluest, most cloudless sky in weeks I could finally feel it.
