When Classics Meet Pop Culture: My Rogan Josh

When Classics Meet Pop Culture:  My Rogan Josh

I’ve long been fascinated by the cuisines of the Middle East and India, and have had the pleasure of sampling some very good dishes over the years through pot luck lunches at the office, and in trying good restaurant recommendations from friends. I, however, have very little experience cooking ethnic dishes, and much less in […]

Storecupboard Spiced Chicken

If you’ve read my blog post on Nobu’s Teriyaki Chicken, you know full well where I stand on chicken for supper.  Chicken is the easiest option, but it’s also the most brain-wracking option because you’ve got to figure out how you’re going to cook it (poach, bake, grill, roast, fry), and what flavour elements you’re […]

Pumpkin Spice Pecan Chocolate Chip Muffins

If there is one consistent message around muffin making out there, it’s to not over mix your muffin batter, lest it be turned into dense little hockey pucks after baking. Over the years, I’ve made hundreds of muffin recipes, and try as I might, no matter how gentle I am in mixing the dry ingredients […]

Cinnamon Chipotle Brownies

Cinnamon Chipotle Brownies

Confession time:  I have eaten many, many brownies in my lifetime.  I’ve also baked many batches as well.  But, when I came across Pam Anderson’s recipe, I was hooked.  It was just as she promised in her recipe title: the perfect brownie. What I also love about this recipe is that you make it in […]
