It’s nice to have two consecutive posts inspired by discussions on the WellPreserved Facebook group. There’s been a lot of great back and forth there lately – discussions on which preservers people made too much of, not enough of or plan to make this year. There’s also been a lot of sharing about pressure canning, [...]

Polenta with Chevre and Red Pepper Puree (Recipe)
Posted in Vegetarian, tagged cooking, Food, polenta, Soups, Stews, Stocks and Sauces on January 31, 2011 | 7 Comments »
It`s been a long time since we`ve posted a recipe – especially one focussed on an economical meal. A good friend (the lovely Jesse) recently pointed our that she`d love to see a return of our Cheap Tuesday Gourmet series. Back then we shared about 25 recipe ideas that were considerably less than $5 a [...]
Test your knowledge – are you up to the challenge?
Posted in !!!Uncategorized, tagged chef, chef quiz, chef test, cooking, cooking game, quiz, test on June 26, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Although I struggled in school, I adored taking small quizzes and surveys (most from Cosmo which is probably why I struggled with the ones that evaluated real knowledge!) Being Friday and too hot to concentrate on much of anything, I thought I’d share a few online quizzes (ranging from silly to difficult). All are free [...]

I have to say, I’m crushing….Jamie Oliver’s new magazine hit Canadian shelves this month, the second issue. I was lucky to get my hands on the first issue. Joel brought it back from the UK a few months ago and it has been passed around and well thumbed. I think he actually likes to encourage [...]
Oh Nuts… I Like Salad after all

Dana is the resident salad expert here – though I’ve been trying my hand at it recently with some mixed results. The simple salad above has some pretty strong flavours – fortunately we are not afraid of going bold with a few flavours. This was baby spinach, toasted peanut, shaved Spanish onion, feta, chili flakes, [...]
Ouch! That`s Hot…
Posted in !!!Uncategorized, tagged burns, cooking, cooking burns, kitchen, oven, stove burns on April 9, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I have a pattern of burning myself unintentionally and in really stupid ways all at the same time. When I was a teenager I used to lean on the stove, often putting my hand on the cool burner. It was a bad habit and one that my parents would frequently scold me for and try [...]
$6 Kitchen Makeover
Posted in !!!Uncategorized, tagged cooking, cooking tips, eating, Food, herbs, seasonal eating, Soups, Stews, Stocks and Sauces, Toronto on April 7, 2009 | 1 Comment »
There is a lot of money being made in the industry of teaching and enabling people to become better cooks. Cookbooks, the Food Network and thousands of tools and gadgets. This isn’t meant as a complaint so much as an observation – there is a lot of excitement around food and so many ways to [...]
Plea for Truffle Oil
Posted in !!!Uncategorized, tagged cooking, Food, ingredients, Truffle Oil, Truffles on April 5, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I recently have run out of a small bottle of truffle oil that we had. It was decent but not excellent – the price was right and perhaps that should have been the indicator. We are looking to buy a new bottle and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations? I’d love to have [...]
Creamed Peas on Toast – Comfort Food from the Great Depression
Posted in Comfort Food, tagged cheap recipes, cooking, cooking from the depression, Cream peas on toast, Creamed Asparagus on toast, Creamed Peas on toast, depression foor, the great drepression on February 23, 2009 | 6 Comments »
Always found that the term Great Depression was somewhat of an oxymoron. It’s kind of like a really long, really awful Wonderful Hangover. Oddly we have had several people arrive at the site after searching for food from this era in recent days and, ever wanting to please, we are happy to accommodate your requests! [...]
Cooking from the Depression

I am finally home; 29 days ago I jumped on a plane to Scotland. Since that time, I’ve been home for only 4 or 5 days and have taken 3 days off. Most days have been very long, very fulfilling and I have learned a lot. I am very excited to be back at home, [...]
