What’s in my kitchen: Waffle Maker Edition
I decided to start a buying guide, just because so many people ask me what’s in my kitchen. This series started out life as “The Best (fill-in-the-blank)” but some people are a bit fanatical about the phrase “the best.” Here...

Friday Finds: 1.30.15
It’s Friday!! More specifically, the last Friday in January. How did we end up here? In other news, I managed to fall down the stairs yesterday. Granted, our staircase is only a whopping four steps, but I still felt pretty...

Guys, they have a toast cafe here in Tokyo where you get to pick out your own TOASTER, bring it to your table and then toast away. Basically it is all my dreams come true and I’ve made Mike go...

Turkey Pho Recipe
We had Thanksgiving at my brother’s house this year (back when it was Canadian Thanksgiving, over a month ago!) and the part I was most looking forward to was the leftovers: specifically, the turkey bones. I had thought that my...

Salt and Pepper Shrimp Recipe
Whenever I’m looking to make a fast and easy dinner I turn to seafood. It cooks up in a flash and takes on flavours well. Shrimp is one of my go-to seafoods, if only because I usually have frozen shrimp...

Lemongrass Pork Meatball Quinoa Bowl Recipe
You know that awkward stage when you’ve just started dating someone and you go over to their parents’ place for dinner? Everyone’s smiling and making small talk about the weather and you’re basically worried about sounding coherent and likeable at...

Okonomiyaki Burger Recipe
I tend to get into food ruts. I’ll eat the same thing, over and over and over again. And the thing is, it doesn’t bore me. In fact, the freedom to consume my favourite foods for days in a row is...

Katsu Sando – Tonkatsu Sandwich Recipe
Katsu sandos are the sandwich of my dreams. It seems that most of the world has a version of schnitzel: cutlet-style meat, breaded and fried. I love meat, I love bread, and I love anything deep-fried, so it’s a no...

Totoro Spam Musubi Recipe
Happy Halloween Eve! I’m not dressing up this year — every year I have big plans to paper mâché a giant bunny head, or sew myself a Totoro suit, but inevitably I just end up looking at thousands of photos...

Chicken Congee with Crispy Chicken Skin Recipe
I’m feeling a tiny bit under the weather lately, which usually ends up in me craving the Chinese food of my childhood. I’ve never been one of those people who don’t like to eat when they’re sick. In fact, I’m...

Mapo Tofu Waffle Recipe
I love tofu, probably because I grew up eating it. It’s fairly standard in Chinese cuisine and when I was a kid, we ate it at least twice a week for dinner. I know a lot of people who don’t...

Vietnamese Spring Roll Recipe
I love hand held foods. What could be better than holding something in your hand and eating it? It’s the ultimate in minimalism. No utensils, no cutting – just grab and eat. I have a long list of favourite handhelds,...

Ikea Swedish Meatball Recipe
Sometimes Mike and I will go to Ikea just for the meatballs. The furniture shopping is pretty much secondary. I also have a thing for Ikea’s mac and cheese (it’s sacrilege, I know) but that’s a story for another time....

Crispy Noodle Cake Recipe
When I was young and living at home, my mom tried hard to have a home-cooked meal on the table everyday. Usually, there’d be a meat dish, a veggie dish, and rice. She even managed to make a big pot...

Shrimp Risotto Balls
The first time I ever made risotto it took forever. I stirred until I thought my arm would fall off. As much as I’d like to say that the result was well worth it, it wasn’t. It was a risotto...

Stone Bowl Recipe
I definitely have a thing for textures when it comes to food. Contrasting textures, especially in the same dish, really do it for me. When something crunchy is next to something soft, or smooth, the crunchiness is just so much...

Shrimp Taquito Recipe
I don’t think I know anyone who doesn’t like deep-fried food. There’s something about the crunch of something that’s been deep-fried that makes it so satisfying. These shrimp taquitos have both an incredibly satisfying crunch and a light freshness-imagine your...

Pulled Pork Recipe
This has got to be the easiest pulled pork recipe ever. Honestly, it’s no fuss, no muss, it’s almost not even a recipe at all. I wasn’t really a big fan of pulled pork until I tasted this one. It’s...
