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…

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…

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…

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,”…

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…

Tangerine Beef with Broccoli and Ginger

March 30, 2014 by Dale 4 Comments

Invigorate your plate with the season; infuse your meal with sunshine. To be clear, I’m all about cooking with ingredients that are local but when they can’t be local, I want them to be at least seasonal. So when the culinary doldrums of winter arrive, citrus becomes king. Thus, as I prepared to chase away…

Ground Beef Tacos

February 21, 2014 by Dale 2 Comments

I’ll be the first to say that not every night can be crispy duck breast, roast beef, or even vegetarian lasagna. Few of us have personal chefs and most of us have jobs and family commitments that compete for time, so even if you love eating, you’re going to once in a while be tempted…

Curried Sweet Potato Wedges

January 24, 2014 by Dale 4 Comments

Life is too short and far too complicated not to be able to make simple and great food from scratch.  Yes, my recipe annals are replete with examples to the contrary, so perhaps I need to find a bit more balance in the recipes I post. You tell me …. But for starters, here is…

Wilted Spinach with Black Mustard Seed and Lemon

January 23, 2014 by Dale 5 Comments

Simple, healthy and, most importantly, delicious …. Love spinach? Want to do something a bit different with it? Look no further …. Here’s a side dish I prepared to go with my Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Banana-Date Glaze. As a result, both are “Indian” inspired and fusions. What makes this dish most amazing, apart that…

Baked Brie with Maple-Apple Jelly

January 14, 2014 by Dale 5 Comments

I’ve talked many times about the hedonistic pleasures of food, but there are going to be few things in life that get more hedonistic than baked brie in all its molten, gooey glory.  When I created my maple-apple jelly in the fall, I knew I was going to be tested in terms of what I…
