Crab Salad Recipe

This past Valentine’s day Mike and I went for dinner at Hawksworth. Everything was delicious, but one of the stand outs was a simple crab salad. The crab was fresh, sweet, and perfectly paired with some micro greens, a…

Roasted Chicken with Dijon Recipe

I used to dislike mustard with a passion. I know what you’re thinking: how could anyone who claims to like food dislike mustard? I think it must have been a leftover childhood thing. I don’t recall any traumatizing mustard…

Crispy Lemon Sole Recipe

In high school my cooking repertoire consisted of instant noodles, eggs, and Kraft Mac and Cheese. I wasn’t particularly adventurous, but I did love the ritual of putting on a pot of water, opening all the little seasoning packets…

Crab Rangoon Recipe

Apparently crab rangoon is quite the popular appetizer at Chinese restaurants in America. I’ve never discovered crab rangoon on a menu here in Vancouver, but on a trip to Chicago last year, I saw it on every Chinese restaurant…

Bacon Sticky Bun Recipe

It’s so cliché, but everything is better with bacon, especially sweets. I love the combination of smokey, salty bacon with baked goods. When I saw the sticky buns on the cover of the April Bon Appétit, I knew I…

Palmier Recipe

Palmiers are one of Mike’s favourites at bakeries. They’re like his litmus test: if they can do a palmier, they can do anything. Funny thing is, before Mike, I’d never eaten a palmier before. I even had to look…

Prawn Cocktail Recipe

I’m obsessed with Marks and Spencer prawn cocktail flavoured snacks. Back in the day, Vancouver used to have an outpost of the popular British shop and whenever I passed by I would buy a bag. They were completely addictive:…

Shrimp Risotto Balls

The first time I ever made risotto it took forever. I stirred until I thought my arm would fall off. As much as I’d like to say that the result was well worth it, it wasn’t. It was a…

Four Cheese Pizza: Mozzarella, Parmesan, Brie and Ricotta

You know, I never really got the appeal of cheese pizza. Growing up, my pizza of choice was always ham and pineapple. I'm pretty sure that was due to the …

Easy One Pot Chicken Spaghetti

Chicken spaghetti is one of those casseroles that needs a little Tiktok glow up because it is good and more people need to make it. The 80s are back and …

Simple Sous Vide Rib Eye Steak Recipe with Basil Garlic Compound Butter

What's your guys' idea of a romantic date? Are you the white tablecloth, candles, fancy dinner with a reservation that has to be made weeks in advance type? Or are …

Chow Town: What to Eat at Lollapalooza 2017

WOOT! I am super excited because as you read, Mike and I are on our way to Lollapalooza! I'm most excited to be seeing The Killers, Lorde, Chance the Rapper, …

Fennel Sausage Pizza Recipe

I don’t think I know anyone who doesn’t like pizza. Even my dad, who’s on a self-imposed strictly Asian food only diet, has been known to enjoy a slice or two of Hawaiian. He’s even been inside the pizza…

Tacos al Pastor Recipe

I’ve eaten a lot of tacos in my life and one of my favourites, hands down, are tacos al pastor. The combination of crispy charred pork and sweet roasted pineapples in a warmed corn tortilla can’t be beat. Unfortunately…

Kimchi Quesadilla Recipe

Putting kimchi and cheese together might sound wrong, but trust me, it’s oh-so right. Spicy kimchi and melty cheese go together like burgers and fries. I wish I could take credit for inventing this brilliant combination, but I…

Caramelized French Toast Recipe

Sometimes I think about a dish obsessively. It doesn’t have to be anything special or complicated; it’s usually something random and most likely, related to breakfast. Take for instance, this caramelized French toast. I must have thought…
