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 [...]

I am flying to the UK on Sunday – 2 weeks of work ahead and I’m very excited to be going. I will get to see some people I haven’t in a long time and I’m very excited about seeing them and about the nature of this trip – launching a new coaching program that [...]

A friend at work recently sent me a link to a free on-line book named Texture: A hydrocolloid recipe collection. I had no idea what this strange title meant – the introduction defines hydrocolloids as a substance that forms a gel in contact with water…capable of one or more of the following: thickening and gelling [...]
Shhh! Its a secret…

I really could buy a thousand cook books – ironic seeing that I rarely follow a recipe, avoid measuring things and have little to no storage room for them. This is a book that reads like a blog – quick, sweet, practical. Each tip is about 2 small pages (the book is just larger than your [...]
Time to get wild…

I recently had the pleasure of co-hosting a lovely dinner party with the wonderful Dana, my parents (Ruth and Paul) and 6 wonderful guests. The dinner was inspired as a vision of my Father’s in October. Dana and I joined my parents for Thanksgiving at our hunt camp just outside of Huntsville, Ontario. This [...]
Slow-Roasted Tomatoes

This is the first of many posts on tomatoes. My parents, Dana and I canned 8 bushels worth of sauce this year (around 180 mason jars full over a weekend). One of my all-time favourite foods is a toasted tomato sandwich. It was a tomato that made me cry at Alinea. They are simply one [...]
Cheese, Glorious Cheese

Cheese is one of my all time favorites. I refer to my cheese-man as my heterosexual life partner, or cheese boyfriend for short. We often shop at the St. Lawrence Market in Toronto and cheese can be 25%-30% of my weekly grocery budget. It took years to find a passionate, friendly cheese man who had [...]
Tuna Salad
Posted in Techniques, tagged chef, cooking, eating, Food, recipe on December 31, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This is a bit of a twist on a traditional favourite – pieces are based on Michael Smith (Food Network Canada); it’s a lovely alternative to the traditional mayo-infused goodness that is slathered on crust-free wonder bread or Subway’s bread bombs (credit to Rob of F’Coffee for that term). This is just simple goodness. There’s no [...]
You are what you eat… Finding nd Feeding Ethical Foie Gras

I am not a die-hard Foie Gras fan, though it is something that raises my curiosity. I’ve had some fabulous fois gras and some not-so-great. I haven’t had a tonne of it but enough to know what it is and that some people love it. I also know why people hate it (the whole force [...]
