Crab Rangoon Grilled Cheese Recipe

We didn’t have any crab rangoon on our road trip, but we did see a ton of roadside Chinese restaurants that made me constantly shout out “crab rangoon!” I’m so happy that crab rangoon came into my life. Crab…

Back!

We’re back from our jaunt down the West Coast. Unfortunately I was too busy stuffing my face to take any photos of the food I ate – sometimes I just don’t have the willpower to take photos before digging…

Back Soon!

I’m out of town on a short road trip – with lots of food stops of course! Back in a few…

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…

Truffle Mac and Cheese Recipe

Truffles are a big thing in the food world. If you haven’t had truffles before, it’s hard to describe how they taste. They’re luscious, earthy, and umami-packed. They taste best fresh, shaved onto a perfect plate of pasta. If…

Crab Salad Recipe

This past Valentine’s day Mike and I went for dinner at Hawksworth. Everything was delicious, but one of the stand outs was a simple crab salad. The crab was fresh, sweet, and perfectly paired with some micro greens, a…

Roasted Chicken with Dijon Recipe

I used to dislike mustard with a passion. I know what you’re thinking: how could anyone who claims to like food dislike mustard? I think it must have been a leftover childhood thing. I don’t recall any traumatizing mustard…

Crispy Lemon Sole Recipe

Baked Double Chocolate Panda Donuts

Panda donuts! These guys make me smile, not just because they're absurdly cute, but also because they taste so good! I made these a while back for Aerie and I …

Monkey Bread

I love sweets in the morning. Well, actually I love savories first, but after a hearty breakfast, I always feel like it makes sense to finish on something sweet. Something …

Spicy Tofu Wontons Recipe

If you're a vegetarian and forever lamenting the fact that you can't have wontons, these guys are for you! The filling is made with a simple mix of firm tofu …

Bacon Sticky Bun Recipe

It’s so cliché, but everything is better with bacon, especially sweets. I love the combination of smokey, salty bacon with baked goods. When I saw the sticky buns on the cover of the April Bon Appétit, I knew I…

Palmier Recipe

Palmiers are one of Mike’s favourites at bakeries. They’re like his litmus test: if they can do a palmier, they can do anything. Funny thing is, before Mike, I’d never eaten a palmier before. I even had to look…

Prawn Cocktail Recipe

I’m obsessed with Marks and Spencer prawn cocktail flavoured snacks. Back in the day, Vancouver used to have an outpost of the popular British shop and whenever I passed by I would buy a bag. They were completely addictive:…

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…
