So I've been a little obsessed with Lebanese food for a while now, particularly lamb koftas. I always thought they were complicated to make but then I saw Gordon Ramsey making it on his Ultimate Home Cooking show and he made it look so darn easy. Like WAY easy. So I...
February seems like the perfect time to post a summery grilled steak in a refreshing and herby chimichurri sauce. It reminds me of summer barbeques and Argentinian restaurants in the midst of -20 degree weather and no actual barbeque access. Plus, it's way cheaper...
How often do you try something new? Like new new? We all get stuck in our day to day routines and dare I say, ruts. I'm guilty of just grabbing the same-ish groceries week after week and making my same go-to meals or going out to dinner at my usual spots and ordering...
It's summer and I haven't been doing as much cooking as normal. There are too many patios to visit, friends to see, and outdoor fun times to be had that I'm really making salad and fast suppers for the most part. This dish is a great meal because it's pretty fast to...
The best way to get invited (and hopefully re-invited) to cottages and pool parties is probably to bring meat and by meat, I mean specifically, these Korean beef short ribs called galbi or kalbi. Take it from a culture that specializes in grilled meats - these ribs...
For a long time, I thought a good steak meant splurging at a bistro/steakhouse or buying a crazy expensive cut of meat from the butcher. I didn't really grow up in a steak type of family - we were more a stir-fry beef with broccoli type house. However, I've recently...
I love fish but I don't cook it as often as I'd like. I don't know about you but buying fish has gotten complicated - farmed, wild, organic, sashimi grade, flash-frozen, sustainable. Like I just want fish. But I just avoid buying it more often because I'm confused. So...
Spring is here! Smell ya later Old Man Winter. I'm so over you. I feel like everyone had a spring in their step today, the day was longer, and the city was a little happier. Didn't you just feel like you had more time in your day? That being said, you probably want...
I once asked my 7-year-old nephew 'Where does curry come from?' His answer: Curry-ea! (I.e. Korea). I swear that kid is a genius. I'm not sure where it originated, but I'm a fan of curries from around the world. For a long time, Thai curry was my go-to dish and then...
When you think chicken breasts, do you think tasteless, dried out meat that needs, if not begs, to be smothered in sauce? I'm a totally a leg girl. Pass me the dark meat. I find it so much more flavourful, forgiving to cook, and cheaper. So basically winning on all...
