Perhaps it’s the sunny weather or my increasingly alarming Sriracha addiction, but I am all about fresh, Asian inspired flavours lately. Lot’s of people don’t post stirfry recipes. Stirfries are very subjective: personal, intimate, cherished creations that are so catered to the cook’s very tastebuds that it is almost nerve wracking to let the public [...]
Ginger Miso Quinoa, 2 Ways
On May - 12 - 2011
I tend to cook a lot of one pot meals: stews, soups, curries and casseroles are my go-to dinners. I enjoy the simplicity of having everything you need in just one dish. Also, I’m pretty busy most of the time. How can I possibly be expected to think of more than one thing to make [...]
Burn the Sick Out Soup
On April - 7 - 2011
I am sick. So, achy, chest cold-y, wretchy, fever-y, chill-y, gross-y yuck sick. But, you know what? I’m craftier than some stupid invasive infection! I’m gonna burn the mutha out.

Like punched in the face with flavour by a giant flavour fist that’s been all kinds of tasty places. But better. Not that I don’t think my local food won’t be delicious: I’m just so used [...]
Low Fat Red Thai Curry
On February - 12 - 2011
Holy flavour country. I am a bit of a curry sucker. A sucker for curry. I enjoy sucking curry? Having said that (what did I just say, exactly?), I’ve never been a huge fan of Thai curries, drenched in coconut milk as they so often are. It’s like pineapple on pizza–I get that this an [...]

Vegan MoFo IV, Day #15, Week #3: Vegan Food You Can Feed to Non-Vegans Without Receiving Any Guff There are people out there who believe that the only thing keeping vegans kicking is the roots and berries they manage to forage from the woods behind their houses (these people also firmly believe that all vegans, [...]
