This is two pictures of the same thing – roughly 10 liters of stock reduced A LOT: The inspiration came from Val (who has a blog named Kale for the Revolution – check it out) who posted a comment back in December; Joel, have you ever tried doing reduced stocks? I tried it this year [...]

Recipe: Apple Ginger Cordial (Syrup) for Carbonated Water
Posted in Beverages on January 5, 2012 | 4 Comments »
We drink a lot of carbonated water (assisted by our Soda Stream) and while we often drink it plain, we also like to make cordials (like this ginger-honey concentrate) to mix it up from time to time. Today`s recipe uses less than a tablespoon of sugar per 500 ml (2 cups) of flavoured water and [...]
My Best Kale Recipe Ever (Kale with Tahini)
Posted in Sides, Salads and Snacks, Vegetarian on December 10, 2011 | 7 Comments »
My relationship with kale is complicated. The first time I made kale chips, I lost them. I went though all the care of preserving them, quite liked the results and put them somewhere and couldn`t find them. That experience pretty much sums up my entire life experience with kale – it`s the one thing I`ve [...]
Honey-Ginger Cordial Concentrate Recipe (Awesome to Add to Carbonated Water)
Posted in Beverages on December 1, 2011 | 2 Comments »
We bought a SodaStream almost 6 months ago and use it almost daily. It’s been handy to have carbonated water at a whim and we’ve also had fun ‘dressing it up’ by adding other flavours such as bitters which have been great flavour enhancers. We haven’t purchased any of the syrups that will allow you to [...]
Duck Egg Mayonaise (Mayo) Recipe with Lime, Chili and Garlic
Posted in Sides, Salads and Snacks on November 29, 2011 | 4 Comments »
One of the best things about this project (if not the very best), is the encouragement we get from others to try new things. When we posted about something you make that others need to, Rachel suggested mayo was on her list. It was easy and tasted better. I grew up in a house that [...]

Gluten-Free Corn Tortilla Recipe (How to Make Tortillas)
Posted in Other, Vegetarian on November 16, 2011 | 22 Comments »
Since Kate left our house (and how we miss her!), I`ve spent a lot of time thinking about gluten. Kate shared so much information about cooking Gluten-free and it fascinates me – after all, gluten is my favorite food group. To imagine living without it is very difficult for me; which is why it has [...]
Appleslaw (also Pearslaw) recipe.. Awesome with Fried Fish, Pork or as a side…
Posted in Sides, Salads and Snacks, Vegetarian on November 13, 2011 | 6 Comments »
When we shared a photo of last night’s Appleslaw on the FaceBook group, I hadn’t planned on sharing the recipe. I just didn’t figure people would be THAT interested. The wonderful thing about instant feedback is you can learn very quickly that you’re wrong and make adjustments; so I promised to share the recipe. Like [...]
