So remember the perfect pie dish that I got from Heather for Christmas, that we used for Heather’s Mushroom, Leek and Lentil Pie? Well, we thought it was time to make a sweet pie in it! Heather loves the combination of chocolate and bananas, and said I could go to town creating a recipe. So […]
We interrupt this regularly scheduled tour of South India to bring you a recipe. It’s not Indian breakfast, but it’s supremely tasty. Also, my twitter peeps were asking for the recipe, so I had to hook you all up. More on Indian travel, food & recipes coming soon! Happy long weekend, happy Easter, happy Sunday! […]
She’s baaaaaaaaaaaaack, and she’s got a leek: My sister, Heather, and I teamed up with leek “Henry” (apparently named after her car) to create a new veggie pie. Yes, this is my second veggie pie this week, but sometimes you just need pie. [Heather says: I like pie.] Heather loves mushrooms, and puts them in […]
This pie is based on my WWII Woolton Pie. As back during WWII, the British were eating under food rationing, they often made pies with a lid and no bottom crust. We’ve gotten used to it around here, and do most of our savoury pies with only a top crust. If you want a double […]
You know how I said that my Whole Wheat Toblerone Cookies were my favourite cookies ever? Move over Toblerone Cookies, there’s a new Whole Wheat Cookie in town – the Whole Wheat Compost Cookie. I’ve been hearing a lot about Christina Tosi and the amazing treats she’s whipping up at Momofuku Milk Bar in New […]
On Thanksgiving weekend we were lucky enough to get an invite up to our friends’ cottage — perfectly situated on a lake surrounded by beautiful falling orange, yellow, and red leaves, and smelling and feeling like Fall. I was in charge of dinner one night, and wanted to make something “Thanksgiving-y” that wasn’t traditional Thanksgiving […]
Let’s pretend you’re having a dinner party. And twenty minutes before the guests arrive, you realize you forgot to buy a baguette to go with the stew! What’s a good host to do but make some quick flatbreads? Of course, there’s no time to wait around for dough to rise — but that’s no problem, […]
I think one of the basics you need up your kitchen sleeves is a good tart dough. If you have a savoury one and a sweet one, you’re good to go. Well, when I was thinking about making my first dinner as part of Vegan MoFo, I knew I needed a vegan sweet tart dough, […]
So earlier this week, I had a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (just like Alexander). I found out that I didn’t get into the school program I was hoping to start in September (boo!) so I needed consolation food. And the answer? Whole Wheat Crêpes with Collard Greens and Cheddar. You could even […]
Ohhh, I think that making extra whole wheat pizza dough and freezing it (when I made Whole Wheat Calzones) was a brilliant idea! I was able to make a divine thin-crust pizza from scratch in about 30 minutes! I took out the dough in the morning and let it come to room temperature to defrost. […]
