Sicilian Orange and Watercress Salad

March 11, 2015 by Dale 1 Comment

Sicilian Orange Salad with Watercress

As the aphorism goes, when life throws you lemons, make lemonade — but when Sicilians give you oranges, make a salad. For the past few months, since Ben’s passing, I’ve largely immersed myself in my writing. There has been the occasional burst of  photography, but mostly I’ve been immersed in my writing. That’s because with…

Pad Thai (authentic)

February 4, 2015 by Dale 3 Comments

Thai food is a hugely popular cuisine, of that there is no question. It’s one which many enjoy … and enjoy year round. But as I post this recipe, I also reflect that it is a cuisine I seem especially drawn to in the colder and winter months — perhaps it is because the warmth…

Duck Breast with Blackberry and Chambord Sauce

December 30, 2014 by Dale 7 Comments

Duck with Blackberry-Chambord Sauce

Duck is one of my very favourite meats and certainly my favourite form of fowl. I know some people have the same aversion to this fine feathered creature as they do to lamb, rabbit, and venison — the four of which would be my holy trinity of proteins if they weren’t actually a quartet. I…

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup with Pumpkin-Seed Praline and Maple-Coconut Cream

December 23, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

It only seemed appropriate that in a series devoted to the colour “Yellow” that I include a new recipe in this as well. Food prepared beautifully is a most edible art and one that will evoke emotions and feelings as pronounced as any fine art … and there was something intensely beautiful and something intensely…

Holiday Favourites from my Kitchen

December 16, 2014 by Dale 2 Comments

Adding Forty Creek Whisky to eggnog

Christmas time is certainly the season for both giving and receiving … and nothing gives me more pleasure, to give or to receive, than the food of the holiday season. So my gifts to you this season are my best holiday-inspired recipes that came out of my kitchen … each made with love and a…

Roasted Tomato Soup with Parmesan-Thyme Croutons

November 21, 2014 by Dale 5 Comments

Childish memories were never more adult …. If you’re like me, tomato soup is synonymous with not only “comfort food,” but it is synonymous with childhood. And yes, for many of us in North America, it is also synonymous with Campbell’s condensed tomato soup. Hands up — please be honest now — hands up who…

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…

Canary Melon Soup with Mint Coulis

September 28, 2014 by Dale 9 Comments

Add Cilantro to Melon Stock

A soup that will surely delight as much as it surprises. The mystery of this soup continues long after the mystery of my last CSA mystery post. And this is certainly the kind of adventure I envisioned with the series. So when presented with a vibrant yellow melon, the size of a child’s football, during my…

White Barszcz with Sorrel

September 21, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

White Barszcz with Sorrel (Plated)

With the end of summer and the inevitable approach of fall, a young man’s fancy does surely turn to soup. … And one of the soups I fancy most is a soup I fell in love with during my three years of living in Poland. If I quizzed you on Polish soups, many would say…

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…
