This time of year, the market is beginning to look pretty scarce. Beside brussel sprouts, green vegetables are rumoured to exist. And as much as I love turnips and beets, there are only so many one can eat before you are craving something a little more exciting. This is when the humble squash begins to [...]

This year, like every year, I crave warm, rich food at the beginning of October. Since I live with a few new people here in Montréal, it’s fun to see their reaction to my daily cooking adventures. If one person’s reaction is a good indicator, then I was in luck with this recipe. Her eyes [...]

Going through my fridge, looking for lunch inspiration, I had some leftover curried mayo, about a cup of bulgar, and some fruit. It occured to me how delicious fruit and curry are in combination, so I decided to make a salad. Curry really likes watery fruits, so I chopped up some kiwi and catelope, threw [...]

I had a few friends over and made a large bowl of curried mussels. (Unfortunately, the mussels evaporated before a camera got anywhere near them.) We had decided that in the spirit of moules et frites, we would accompany the mussels with yam fries. Now one can never have too much curry in [...]

Recently, we’ve been indulging a lot in Indian-inspired food. On Sunday, I had a lovely Indian feast at a friends’ house, Monday it was the red lentil dahl, and then Graham and I made this curry. I love how colourful and filling curries are, and how easy it is to mix in just about any [...]

Tonight as I walked home enjoying the first hints of warmth in the sun rays, I thought about what to make for dinner. I love how as the days get longer, with the blue sky, and the temperature starting to rise above zero, people’s spirits start to rise. Tonight I had lentils on the [...]
Coconut Veggie Curry

I arrived home the other night to an absolutely empty fridge – a few moldy vegetables here and there, but nothing really appetizing. I desperately wanted some comfort food, and nothing previously frozen. Rummaging in my cupboard, I happened across a can of coconut milk, and decided that I would make curry. Assembling odds and [...]

On the topic of beautiful Canadian produce, I was wandering through the Halifax Seaport market (absolutely gorgeous if you ever get a chance to go) on Saturday. As should be expected in January, there was really limited produce – down to the good old root vegetables and apples. A bag of pre-cut butternut squash caught [...]
