I’ve finally found a basic butter chicken sauce recipe that I’ve tweaked and am very happy with. I love how flexible it is. Adjust to taste! I used it to make butter chicken meatballs for a work event. I liked them so much I made them at least three or four times over the holidays.

I don’t know why I never thought of it before, but you can go and buy egg whites in a carton at the store. How do they work when making meringues? Actually, they work really well!

I’ve been trying to be more adventurous in my cooking lately. It was getting to the point where there were really only a handful of dishes I could reliably make. It gets boring! I’m also trying to find more meals with fewer carbs and more meals with leftovers I can bring to work.

I’ve read a few things about einkorn flour , so have kept my eye out for it. I happened across some BC-grown einkorn in my local organic food store. I thought I’d give it a try. The package insisted it could used one for one for regular whole wheat flour. The only way to find out is to try!

Finally got all the ingredients together for an excellent-looking seven-grain bread from the ever-excellent Gisslen book Professional Baking. It may just be my favourite bread so far! But Adele says I say that about every new bread recipe I try 🙂 She still prefers the oatmeal bread , but I’m going to keep making the...

We’re hosting two sets of holiday dinners this month (one of them vegetarian), and we’re going nontraditional. I’m still scared of killing everybody with a poorly cooked turkey. That means new recipes, which means practice. I have the whole month off, so fortunately I have the time. I’ll share the recipes I finally end...

Smitten Kitchen is a very attractive and long-standing food blog. I haven’t been able to make any of her more complicated recipes, but I have quite the list of things I want to try. Adele and I love lemonade, and when I saw this idea I had to make it. I know summer is over (this is something ideal for a really hot...

This is my favourite bread. I skipped a couple of weeks, and when I finally got back to it, I was reminded all over again how delicious this bread is. It’s soft, moist, and much more flavourful than plain white bread and has a nice chewy crust. This recipe is adapted from one found in: Eric Kastel and Cathy Charles,...

I love, love these brownies! No sooner do we finish a pan, I make another one! This recipe only uses chopped chocolate (no cocoa powder), so the quality of your chocolate is really important. Use the best you can get your hands on. Go make a pan now. You won’t regret it. The following yields a 9×13 pan. Cut it in half...

Adele loves pecan pie. I’ve been looking for a good recipe and have thus far failed. I came across a new book by The Culinary Institute of America called Baking & Pastry: Mastering the Art and Craft. It’s another text book similar to the Gisslen book I refer to often. Overall, though, I prefer Gisslen’s book. Baking &...
