We live in an apartment in Toronto – while we are fortunate to have lots of space inside our walls, very little of that is freezer space. My entire freezer consists of the small chest above our fridge and some borrowed space in Markham (about a 30 minute drive from here). This is part of [...]

Prime Rib Roast – with a side of blowtorch
Posted in Meat Dishes on December 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Several big name Chefs have been raving about taking a blowtorch to a side of beef. Thomas Keller and Heston Blumenthal (both with restaurants on the list of the top 10 in the world) have raved about using a torch to sear a prime rib; we had to give it a try. The theory is [...]
Cheap Tuesday Gourmet: New Years Eve Mussels
Posted in Budget, tagged cheap tuesday gourmet on December 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Although this meal would be suitable for any evening that you wish, it is certainly a fine option for New Year. It is a super easy meal to prepare and so many people avoid because of the perceived difficulty. Cooking mussels is easier than boiling potatoes correctly. Mussels are on sale this week at one [...]

We have made it! Well Preserved was born 365 days ago – our official birthday is on the 28th but this is our last day of being “0.” We haven`t missed a day of posting in the entire year – a surprise considering the launching of this site was a spontaneous act (we told the [...]

Posted in Special Series on December 26, 2009 | 7 Comments »
This is the end of the 11 days of posts on Feastmas. It’s been a good run but all good things must meet their end – or be reborn through leftovers. I have done a lot of reading in recent years on how to perfect stock. I have been surprised to learn that many of [...]

Merry Christmas! I have written and re-written this post in my head at least 15 times today. I have had time to write and had lots to write about. But the vision for this post keeps on coming back – it beckons for shorter and sweeter. We are humbled and blessed and fortunate and lucky [...]

Posted in !!!Uncategorized on December 24, 2009 | 2 Comments »
It’s cold and dark outside. I’ve been up for an hour and will leave the house before 6.00AM. I hope to be back home by 8.00AM and the first of several dishes will hit the stove by 8.30. December 24th has become a big day of cooking for me – an awesome and exciting day [...]
11 Days of Feastmas – All about the coffee
Posted in !!!Uncategorized on December 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
We have learned this the hard way – reduced store hours and increased people with free time going places equals less access to good coffee. Make sure you have a beautiful selection of coffee – go out of your way, perhaps, to grab something a little special. We are spoiled living near and being friends [...]
