Flipping through rebar: modern food cook book, I was captivated by the name of this linguine. The recipe looked perfect for dinner with peanut-loving vegetarian friends. I followed rebar‘s hint to make the sauce rich and creamy by adding equal amounts of canned coconut milk. I also added fried golden tofu to boost the protein content. [...]

It’s hard to imagine that 2012 has arrived! 2011 has flashed by quicker than either of us expected, and both of us have loved writing entries for gourm(eh?). Neither of us could guess how rewarding this blog would prove to be. We are so grateful for our reader’s supports and comments, and hope you will [...]

To continue with the squash theme of the season, I’m posting this recipe for this very delicious risotto that I invented with my roommate during a dinner party earlier this week. I found that using delicata squash in this risotto actually avoided the need for parmesan, making this recipe an easy one for those looking [...]

The clock is ticking for me, and my fridge must be emptied in the next week. Each autumn I have a tendency to accumulate squash – and last night I had a squash-themed dinner party with my roommate to get through them: squash dishes accompanied by a few delightful glasses of wine. I have had [...]

I’ve been making an effort to finish off all the food stored in my cupboard before I leave – which makes for interesting combinations of things I wouldn’t always think of eating together. This time, it was sunchoke latkes with applesauce and thyme-infused lentil cakes with gruyère. On my last market visit, I also picked up [...]
Vichyssoise – Leek and Potato Soup

I love leeks. They have such a delicate flavour, with delicious nutty undertones. Versatile, they are the perfect substitute for onions in any risotto or soup. Leeks are often overpriced in the winter, but the Halifax market is currently overflowing with this vegetable, so I have been taking full advantage of their presence! Vichysoisse is [...]

With the first frost approaching, I thought it would be likely this recipe would come in handy! Before moving to Montréal, we harvested all our tomatoes (even though it was just the end of August), and made pots and pots of sauce to put in the freezer. Our tomato harvest this year was phenomenal. The [...]

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 [...]

Lately, I’ve been having a lot of fun playing a sort of cooking puzzle: the kind of game where I look at everything in my fridge and try to come up with interesting and delicious ideas which are not necessarily based on any pre-existing recipes (at least that I’ve seen). In this particular case, the [...]
