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, [...]

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 [...]

Today is a bit of a cop-out but I feel it’s validated. I had single most memorable food experience of my life in Chicago at a restaurant named Alinea. I’ll spare the details for now. If you’ve read some of the past posts here you’ll recognize the name Fernan Adria. He is the mastermind of [...]
The Canton of Vaud

Today’s post is about Vacherin Mont D’Or - a glorious cheese from Switzerland that is available once per year – right around Christmas. It is from Switzerland, made in the Jura mountain region and the foothills below named the Canton of Vaud: This is unlike most cheese I’d ever had – an unlike anything I even [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
