Raspberry Pistachio Pavlova Recipe

Is there anything better than summertime and desserts? The sun has finally been shinning down on Vancouver and the gorgeous weather is perfect for picnics and barbecues. In my books, no picnic or barbecue is complete without dessert –…

Spot Prawns with Lime and Cilantro Recipe

Spot prawns are Mike’s absolute favourite seafood so now that it’s spot prawn season we’re going to be eating prawns like crazy. We love grilled prawns, but no patio means no grilling so I usually just pan-fry the prawns…

Crème Brûlée Doughnut Recipe

Have you ever had the creme brûlée doughnuts from Doughnut Plant in NYC? They are hands-down, my favourite doughnut in the world. Imagine biting into a super-soft, fluffy doughnut with a crisp caramelized sugar crust. If the brûléed top…

Brown Butter Brownies Recipe

I have a thing for those Two Bite Brownies they sell at Costco. It’s embarrassing, but I get unreasonably excited when I see the nice Costco staff sampling them. They’re just so delicious. So soft, so fudge-y, so good.…

Vietnamese Spring Roll Recipe

I love hand held foods. What could be better than holding something in your hand and eating it? It’s the ultimate in minimalism. No utensils, no cutting – just grab and eat. I have a long list of favourite…

Roasted Cauliflower Recipe

I don’t have the best knife technique ever but sometimes I like to pretend that I have mad chopping skills. I especially love breaking down cauliflower. Once you get the core out you can just get into the zone…

Ikea Swedish Meatball Recipe

Sometimes Mike and I will go to Ikea just for the meatballs. The furniture shopping is pretty much secondary. I also have a thing for Ikea’s mac and cheese (it’s sacrilege, I know) but that’s a story for another…

Momofuku Milk Bar Liquid Cheesecake Recipe

I’m a pretty big fan of David Chang’s Momofuku restaurants. I even cooked through his entire cookbook! It’s no surprise then, that I thought I would be equally enthralled with the sweets from Momofuku Milk Bar, the dessert outpost…

Homemade Carnitas

Easy peasy carnitas. Alongside barbacoa, tinga, and birria, I think carnitas is the best taco filling you can make at home. Whenever we’re too tired to cook, or just want to have …

Chile Relleno

Cutting into a crispy chile relleno and having the melty cheese ooze out is a sure fire way to get your appetite going. It’s the ultimate comfort food: crispy, cheesy, …

How to Make Egg in a Hole Toast

Sometimes the simplest breakfasts are the best, especially if they're as whimsical as egg in a hole toast. Call it what you will: toad in a hole, egg in a …

Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars: Totoro Edition

Totoro week continues! We had a power outage last week and it was a.) spooky b.) kind of fun and c.) worrisome. Spooky because the hallways were dark AF and we …

Coddled Egg Recipe

When we were down in Yountville, we had an incredibly delicious coddled egg dish at Thomas Keller’s French bistro, Bouchon. The egg was was coddled on top of a potato puree with roasted mushrooms and sautéed spinach. There was…

Spinach Feta Egg Wrap Recipe

I love, love, love the spinach and feta egg wraps from Starbucks. They are seriously good. I don’t know if it’s because I’m always super hungry when I eat them or if they’re really just that good, but there’s…

Baked Pork and Crab Wonton Recipe

I have a thing for wonton skins. Even when I was a kid, I used to just eat the skins and leave the meat behind. Eating wontons always meant that I’d get a talking to from my mom. “Why…

Ginger Fried Rice Recipe

Fried rice is one of those dishes where preferences are very individualized (much like how well-done you like your instant noodles). Peas, no peas, soy sauce, no soy sauce, scrabbled egg bits or egg mixed right in, and the…
