I’m so sorry to anyone who’s read this post in the past couple of days, something went wrong internally and the recipe looked like a jumbled mess! We’re back up and running properly now! This week I’ve received results from all of you who completed the survey I posted. Thank you to all of you…

My most recent food obsession is vinegar. So much vinegar. I can’t get enough. We go through an entire costco size bottle of rice vinegar in just a few weeks, cider vinegar is gone in a matter of days, we put pickled things on eeeeverything. The balance of sour and acidic against sweet, salty, and…

I’m sharing dinner with you tonight. My shakshuka, aka: eggs poached in tomato. A brief history of shakshuka from Wikipedia, because I’m quite frankly too lazy to tell you about it.

I love love love pickling and preserving things. Whether it’s homemade marmalade that takes 48 hours of patience, or preserved lemons that take 6 weeks- I’m game. It’s even better if you happen to have something particularly seasonal, like garlic scapes. Grab all the good stuff while it lasts and preserve it for yourself for the long…

This week I’m on a clean eating streak. Eating ‘clean’ means something different for everyone, but for me it means no consumption of empty calories. It means at least 50% of my plate is vegetables, 25% lean protein, and 25% carbohydrates at most (if any at all). Higher fibre when choosing grains and carbs. No dairy.…

Another rainy ‘summer’ day! There isn’t much else to do on a wet afternoon than bake some bread and give you a quick update on the balcony garden. Yesterday we added a few new items to the mix: two types of reed grass, chives, additional basil (as the last batch of three different types is…
