This may be one of the easiest, yet elegant chicken-for-a-party dishes. The olives add a hint of saltiness, while the prunes add a touch of sweetness. These distinctive Mediterranean flavours complement the chicken beautifully — its a rare occasion when you serve this at a potluck that at least one person does not ask for [...]

Cooking for one still manages to stump me, and I often end up with at least an extra meal if not more in left-overs even if I try to keep things small. While many people would love this, I prefer the freedom of cooking something new almost every day. If what I make is freezable, [...]

Patty pans, also known as scallopini / button squash, are one of my favourite elusive treats of the early harvest season. This year I was seduced by a small box of them available at the market in Ste. Annes de Bellevue, although they were not even on my shopping list. They’re so delicate, and yet [...]
Roast Chicken and Mushrooms

I am moving to Ottawa for the summer in less than a week, so I am in “eat everything in the fridge and freezer” mode. I have this tendency to buy lots of chicken when it is on deep sale, freeze it, and then eat it throughout the next few months. It’s a great idea [...]

I’ve taken to walking everywhere these days – those of you who know me know I’m one of those die-hard Toronto bikers, going all-year round. Alas, my freewheel is fried (a usual march phenomenon, they don’t like salt). So this means I briskly walk through Toronto for approximately 90 minutes every day at least, and [...]

This is the first post in a series from a trip from which I just returned. For the past 10 days I have been travelling throughout Belize, exploring indigenous perspectives on food security and health (which explains my gourm(eh)? absence in the past few weeks as I challenged myself not to check the internet while [...]
Poulet diable (Devil Chicken)

After Catherine posted her Chicken Dijonaise recipe, I had to laugh because that very same night we had ‘Poulet Dable’, which is a similar recipe to hers, although still different enough that I could justify posting it a few weeks later. Plus, when is there ever enough mustardy goodness in a main course? Another benefit [...]
Chicken Dijonaise

Living in France this summer, I got absolutely hooked on Maille mustard. And now some days, I just crave mustardy deliciousness. And when that happens, the clear answer is to turn to my favorite mustard recipe, Chicken Dijonaise. Inspired by the Silverpalate recipe, the below is my own (slightly less heavy) version of chicken dijonaise. [...]
