Fennel and Green Apple Slaw

June 18, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

If you’re one of those people who hates the common coleslaw that adorns most summer tables because you hate cabbage, here’s a game changer: fennel. Now I know some of you may be shaking your heads and walking away at the word fennel too: “I hate black licorice,” you say. Trust me, the flavour of…

Recipe for Low-Phosphorus Dog Food ~ Caring for a Dog with Chronic Renal Failure

June 16, 2014 by Dale 1,748 Comments

After 18 years, Ben, my longtime dog, was diagnosed with chronic renal failure three months ago. Failing some other catastrophic illness, his vet of 11 years has said this will be the ‘thing’ that finally takes Ben from this world and my life. Having said that, Ben still clearly has a lot of life and love left…

Fragrant Thai “Massaman” Chicken Curry

May 26, 2014 by Dale 3 Comments

I continually come back to Thai food almost every month. It is a cuisine that has much to offer in each and every season from light salads, grilled satay, comforting soups … and, of course, those curries. What I love, love, love about Thai food is how incredibly fragrant a cuisine it is. I can’t…

Spring Tarts

May 9, 2014 by Dale 1 Comment

“In the Spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love” … and, for me, chives. The new spring brings the promise of much new food, a promise of much love for a foodie … but it brings very little in the way of actual food. However, it does bring chives. So when…

Creamy Polenta with Parmesan

April 29, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

I dare say, if you love corn, you should certainly love polenta. I know it has a consistency that will put some people off, but if prepared well, the consistency is creamy and divine. Polenta is truly “peasant” food — but I love peasant food; most people do. When someone describes their favourite “comfort food,”…

Duck Magret with Sour-Cherry and Port Sauce …

April 27, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

Serve duck with sour cherry sauce

This creation was me saying happy birthday to Benjamin, my über wonder dog of 18 years. That is to say, I’m not the only one in the family that gets weak in the knees when someone says “duck.” Truly, it’s a wonder that over the years I haven’t been beaned with a softball between the eyes…

Osso Buco

April 20, 2014 by Dale 3 Comments

There are few dishes in the world that I love as much as osso buco which, purely translated, is “hole in the bone.” I love it for the marriage of all its flavours into a comforting, richness. I love the philosophy of this dish. It is “slow food” done to perfection. While this classic Italian…

Macaroni and Six-Cheeses … with pancetta crumble

April 16, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

Mac and Cheese (plated)

If there was a food equivalent of original sin, I think I’ve discovered it. Long have I had the notion of creating a gourmet version of a childhood comfort food so many of us grew up on … create something very very adult. The inspiration for this comes from watching Gordon Ramsay several years ago challenge his…

Triple Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings

April 11, 2014 by Dale 7 Comments

Seasons come and seasons go … and Meyer lemon season is drawing to a sad close for another year. And with a couple of lonely looking lemons which had seen better months staring back at me, it was a question of what was something else, something different again, that I could do with them. Every…

Maple-Teriyaki Pacific Salmon

April 7, 2014 by Dale 4 Comments

If there has been one unifying ingredient as part of the Canadian Food Experience Project, it has been maple. This is not surprising given the prominence of this ingredient in our airport gift shops and the fact the leaf is emblazoned on our flag. It’s also not surprising, then, that it has shown up in…
