Watercress Salad with Smoked Salmon & Roasted Beets

October 7, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

If there has been one theme in my cooking this CSA season, it has been beets and, specifically, roasted beets. I’d be lying if I said there was “something” about roasted beets that is magically comforting — no, there is something very specific about roasted beets I love, how their flavour is transformed, how the…

CSA Adventures … Mystery #6

September 24, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

From green, to red, from orange to yellow, the colours of the garden are breathtaking, like a dissected fall foliage that you can eat. How great is that? However, it would seem the mysteries of the CSA are getting better — and tougher? — or someone has disconnected my mic. “Hello … is this thing…

Roasted Red-Kuri and Beet Salad with Maple Vinaigrette

September 13, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

When the red kuri squash turned up at the CSA pick up a few weeks ago I thought only for a few minutes about what I was going to do with it — then turned back  the clock a couple of years to the first red kuri squash I received and decided to reprise what…

CSA Adventures … Mystery #5

September 10, 2014 by Dale 3 Comments

Some mysteries are supposed to be tough — so here’s one to challenge all your ardent veggie lovers out there. “Who Am I?” And no, “I am not a misshapen pumpkin… but I am a gorgeous colour inside.” That’s your only hint, ok? Answer to be revealed on Saturday … if not before, should one…

Fish Tacos: Grilled Halibut, Kohlrabi in Coriander Cream, and Grilled-Pineapple Salsa

August 31, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

I think anyone who has had a great fish taco, and the decadent Baja fish taco in particular, has fallen in love with the complex interchange of simple flavours, crunchy textures, the dialogue of sweet and tangy, and the pure comfort of food that pleases the soul. Recreating it home without pulling out the deep-fryer, though, is a…

CSA Adventures … Mystery #4

August 27, 2014 by Dale 4 Comments

So this adventure series hasn’t turned out exactly as I was expecting — though I guess that is the whole point of any adventure. My let down is that it just hasn’t felt that adventurous, at least to me — but can I really complain that I’m eating delicious veggies, regardless whether they contain new…

Tri-Coloured Potato Salad with Feta-Mayo & Bacon-Crumble

August 25, 2014 by Dale 12 Comments

We humans have more in common with honey bees than we give them credit — both our species are attracted to colourful food. The inspiration for this has been a few weeks coming. It all started when I received “red” potatoes in my CSA… or at least, I thought they were red. But when I…

Carrot and Apple Slaw with Chevril Vinaigrette

August 7, 2014 by Dale 1 Comment

A simple side salad designed to pair with my recent Scallops with Sorrel Butter, this is so easy — and quite frankly healthy as well — that you may want to find other things to pair it. In fact, the recipe is so easy, it hardly even needs a recipe. The inspiration came from the…

Scallops with Sorrel-Butter with Sweet Pea and Pancetta Dust

August 1, 2014 by Dale 5 Comments

Life is filled not only with sweetness, but the tartness of it can also surprise … and reward. The Back Story: I know my most recent CSA Mystery was a tough one and even you had a chance to see the plant growing, I’m sure it didn’t make it any easier to identify. If you…

CSA Adventures … Mystery #3

July 30, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

So the next lesson in mysteries is that sometimes you have to look outside your borders to find adventure …. My challenge in maintaining this even into the third installment of the series is that I didn’t find much a mystery in my CSA share this past go-round. Most of the usual suspects emerged in…
