Greek-Style Rice with Fresh Dill and Feta

September 8, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

Almost every cuisine has a version of rice which speaks to the culture and the ingredients that symbolize it. So when I recently made pork souvlaki (recipe here), I wanted to make a rice dish that would both complement the rest of the meal … but still be something of a new creation. If you’ve…

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…

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…

Fettuccine Carbonara with Grilled Garlic Scape Pesto

July 17, 2014 by Dale 4 Comments

To reveal the second mystery from yesterday’s post is to reveal that what you saw were garlic “scapes” aka the ‘spring’ shoots of the garlic plant. Where garlic is commercially cultivated, these fine morsels are often just clipped and discarded and never see the market. The scape is the young stem and budding “flower” of…

Salsa Verde

July 14, 2014 by Dale 3 Comments

Ah, the tomatillo– no, that’s an armadillo crossed with a tomato. And, no, it’s not synonymous “green tomato.” The tomatillo is unique little creature I discovered and was able to purvey without much difficulty when I lived in Calgary … which isn’t a surprise on account of the city’s fondness for Tex-Mex cuisine. However, it…

Poached Hakurei Turnips with Pear and Radish

July 9, 2014 by Dale 1 Comment

Ah, yes, the big reveal: those were hakurei turnips in my previous post the launched my 2014 CSA Adventures. On to the recipe now …. So when I’m left with a new and intriguing ingredient, I don’t want to hide it in something. Yes, that might be more artful like the Belgian truffle I had…

Tropical Banana-Pineapple Burgers

June 30, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

What gave you the idea to put bananas in your burgers? That’s what Anne asked after she figured out the mystery to what was in her mouth. The truth is I don’t really know what deviant brain cell in my head concocted the idea. I know I was looking at a half-eaten banana in the fridge…

Salmon with Whisky Cherry Glaze

June 25, 2014 by Dale 8 Comments

One of my very favourite ways to create recipes is while I’m shopping and as I take inspiration from the fresh, seasonal ingredients around me. Last weekend, I had already picked up four beautiful salmon steaks but I was stuck with what create. This time last year I was in a similar place and opted…
