Now that I’m all caught up blogging my most recent trip to Thailand and Hong Kong, I’m just dying to tell you all about what’s been going on in my kitchen! In April, I celebrated Ash’s birthday with her potluck-style. I was thinking of bringing cold rolls, and then I got excited at the idea […]
We’ve had a stressful few weeks around here. And in times of stress, we tend to order in Thai food. But all that ordering started to look a bit silly when I had a jar of red curry paste in my fridge. So off to create my own curry I went! I have to say […]
Tonight was veggie roasting night around here — I did up a big batch of parsnips, carrots & sweet potatoes and then also had some Brussels Sprouts in the fridge. Seeing as I had the oven on anyway, I thought I’d roast them too. There’s a little bit of alchemy that happens when you roast […]
Want to know my favourite raw restaurant? Belmonte Raw in Leslieville. The glorious Carol started her restaurant to serve raw food (which means it’s vegan & gluten-free, so I can eat everything on the menu). And best of all, Carol features local & organic produce. And her food is glorious! When I can’t make it […]
I’m still savouring the wonderful Thanksgiving dinner we had Sunday evening. The food, the company, it was all just perfect. I proclaimed this morning that we should celebrate American Thanksgiving as well, just so we can do it again next month. Michael did such a wonderful job as our host. We all had individual place […]
I can officially thank Vegan MoFo for one of my favourite dinners ever. I wanted to post a recipe today, so I was inspired to pull together a bunch of stuff into my fridge into a meal. And it worked so well. Usually I take a bunch of leftovers, and put them in a tortilla […]
So we all have colds in Casa del Kitchen Operas right now… so it was time for spicy soup. Our usual cold remedy of choice is either a big bowl of Tom Yum with Brown Rice Vermicelli or Miso & Coconut Soup with Soba Noodles. However, we had a craving around these parts for Thai […]
I was in San Francisco last week, and my absolute favourite place to visit while I’m there is Samovar Tea Lounge in the Yerba Buena Gardens. I stopped in for tea and lunch, and was treated to a quite place away from the hustle and bustle of both the city and of the conference I […]
The lovely folks at Thomas Allen & Son were kind enough to send me a review copy of a new vegan cookbook — Vicki’s Vegan Kitchen by Vicki Chelf. And so I had a cookbook to curl up with by the fire when we spent a week at the cottage. While we were up there, […]
I’ve been experimenting with the green garlic that I’ve been getting in my fabulous veggie box… it’s kind of like having fresh garlic, garlic scapes, leeks, and onions, all at the same time! I used all of the parts of the green garlic in this soup and it was oh-so delicious and garlicky without being […]
