love your food v4.0
I recently made this dish at home after searching and talking to a local meat shoppe producer in Paris, Ontario. I picked up One 8-rib Rack of Lamb, brought it home and set about making my dish. I had garlic, oils, wine, and mint at home. Using the recently purchased rack of lamb as my …

As a housewarming gift, we received heirloom tomato seeds from a good friend of ours. I’ve never actually tried starting tomatoes from seed before now, so it was a bit of a learning experience. I think I may have started them too late, but the plants are in the ground now, so we’ll see how …
I am not a chef. I am, however, married to a foodie and surrounded by people who love food. Growing up on a farm, I was always aware of where my food came from; from the fields and from the animals. We had large vegetable gardens, and fields of wheat and corn, and cows that …
I recently had the pleasure of visiting the market this last week, and was blessed with the bounty of spring in Ontario. I was inspired to make a green salad that was so beautiful, healthy and tasty that I just had to share it with all of you out there. The recipe goes as follows: …
WOW might be the best word to describe my experience at this wonderful restaurant. From the warm atmosphere of its bistro-like decor, to the friendly yet non-invasive servers, this venue really does things well. It may be a little higher on the price scale than most restaurants of it’s kind, but the meal is definitely …
So having been on both sides of the counter in this King st East restaurant I can’t give a fair review on the food since I’m prone to forgiving mistakes a little more easily. However, I will try my hardest to be as unbiased as possible when judging my latest food experience there, since it …
Recently I can’t stop thinking about lemons and how I could add them, the juice, zest, slices, wedges, and whatever amount from a teaspoon to a few ounces and the result would only be a positive to the desired dish. Its just as versatile as anything else out there and gives bacon a run for …
Again ….. I know we’ve already had a post about homemade pasta. I just wanted to add a couple of more points and some pictures. I agree with everything my food blog contemporary has said about making pasta. Its easy, enjoyable and the stuff you buy at the store is crap. Don’t get me wrong, …
Just last Saturday I was lucky enough to have had a dinner at Colborne Lane with friends for Claire’s birthday, 7 of us in total. During the reservation taking the host(s) that I talked to were friendly, polite, understanding, and professional. I say understanding only because the original reservation was for 10 then with many …
Here we go again with our East Coast contributor. Thanks Jon for the wonderful plates. Keep the pics coming. I’d say its pretty clear you learned your knife skills at GBC.
Heres some plates from our good friend the Urban Newf on the east coast. He makes sexy plates… High five Jon and keep rocking the hot plates.
One of my all time fave pesto ~ Orecchiette with Pistachio Pesto – 6 servings
We all know the old attage: KISS or keep it simple stupid. I always find it diffucult to uphold this belief even though I am well aware of its application in the kitchen. Once I get cooking I am always adding a little of this or that, trying to balance flavours and textures to create the …
Made this recipe once before back at work and when I saw black cod on special I just had to try it again at home.
Last night i wasn’t in the mood to cook anything huge or go out to get a meal or even have one delivered for the sake of spending money needlessly, which kinda left me looking around the house until a light went off in my head and came up with some thing so sweet i …
